How do I relax in a bath with a smaller tub?

Get as much of your body under the water as possible. Make sure when you fill the tub that you include bubbles and maybe sprinkle some flower petals or add lavender to the water.

Sure! Do not overdo it though. Although they are relaxing, bathrooms have a lot of accidents!

Question

Are bath bombs good for the skin?

Community Answer

It depends, but for the most part yes. Most reputable brands wouldn't be selling you products that are bad for you. Most bath bombs have ingredients that soften and clean your skin.
