Question

Is it a good idea to take a shower before taking a bath?

Community Answer

Yes. Taking a shower beforehand washes away unwanted debris. That way you will not be laying in filthy, contaminated water!

Question

What if I am covered in soap and I am on the step where it says to get out of the tub?

Community Answer

Drain the bathtub and turn the shower on. Stand under the shower and rinse the soap away, then turn the shower off and get out of the tub.

Question

What should I do if I do not have bath bombs or Epsom salt?

Community Answer

You can use sea salt instead of Epsom salt if you wish to add it to your bath directly. You can also add a little lemon juice to your bath if you would like.

Question

What are the benefits of putting bath salt in your bath?

Camille Iacono

Community Answer

Salt in bathwater helps to relax your muscles. Epsom salt is the best to use though, not just plain old sea salt, or you can use mineral salts.

Question

Is it fine to shower or bathe in a swimming suit?

Community Answer

It may prevent you from washing certain areas that need to be kept clean. If it’s for privacy reasons, though, why not?

Question

Can I use body wash instead of bubble bath?

Ella Gilfedder

Community Answer

You can, though some people recommend bubble bath/bath bombs instead. You can also use essential oils, body wash, conditioner (If you really have to) and epsom salts.
