After a busy, stressful day, you deserve a soothing soak in the bath with your favourite relaxing bath products.
Here you’ll discover tips for creating a tranquil bath experience with our bathing ritual recommendations.
Bathing for wellbeing
Not only can baths be incredibly relaxing, taking time to create soothing bathing ritual could boost your wellbeing!
Time spent in the tub delivers much more than a simple skin cleanse. The bath experience is a form of self-care and a relaxing bath is a great space to reconnect with yourself with a moment of ‘me-time’.
Even a small soak in the tub can do your mood and muscles the world of good – and with the right blend of relaxing bath products, you can relieve your stresses and leave mind and body feeling relaxed and at ease.
If you struggle to sleep, a relaxing bath can also help you to unwind before bed.
We have created our own ritual recipe for an ultra-relaxing soak in the bath which everyone can use to benefit from the relaxing properties of a naturally soothing bath ritual.
How to have a really relaxing bath
CLEAR BATHROOM CLUTTER
For a calm and relaxing bath, clear away any bathroom clutter. Pack away cleaning products, kids’ bath toys and anything that could cause your mind to wander from ‘me-time’.
ADD AN AROMA
Scent can transform a space and by lighting a candle or adding a drop of essential oil to a ceramic diffuser or bath pillow, your bathroom will feel more like a home-spa space.
We recommend Alexandra Kay Time to Relax essential oil blend. Featuring Patchouli, Vetiver and Lavender, it transports you to a space of tranquillity as it relaxes the body and the mind.

PREPARE YOUR PRODUCTS
If you’re also planning to wash your hair or shave body hair, put everything you need within easy reach.
For an extra indulgent bath, keep a pot of our Coconut Charcoal Purifying Face Mask nearby and smooth it onto your face whilst you soak. You’ll inhale a soothing Eucalyptus scent as it dries and after use skin will feel soft and pure.

BUILD YOUR BATH
Social media stories and Hollywood movies might make us think that a relaxing bath needs to feature rose petals and a bounty of colour delivered by fizzing bath bombs but keeping your bath routine simple can be much more relaxing.
Not only will you avoid the chances of your skin reacting badly to the mix of too many conflicting bath additions, you also won’t have to worry about cleaning the residue once your bath time is up!
The best relaxing bath products
Tepid water
Avoid the temptation to make your relaxing bath with very hot water as this can leave skin feeling scorched, dry and irritated. It will also make your bathroom feel lees like a soothing spa and more like a hot and humid hideout.
Add natural bubbles
Your relaxing bath experience should be tailored to your personal needs and scent preference.
If you enjoy a scented bath, try pouring a few drops of Daily Aloe Shampoo & Shower Wash into running water to fill your bath with Lavender-scented bubbles. Its soothing aroma will calm your mind and leave your skin delicately scented after your bath.

If you have very sensitive skin, create a mass of skin-friendly bubbles to sink into with our Scent Free Shower Gel. With no artificial fragrances or essential oils, it is a calming choice for those who may be prone to allergies or eczema.

Add a bath oil to soak sore muscles
If aches and pains prevent you from relaxing, or if you experience dry skin after bathing, you may like to try adding a few drops of oil to your bath.
Alexandra Kay Time to Ease Muscle Relax Body Oil doubles up as a bath oil. With warming Ginger and Black Pepper working with soothing Peppermint and Eucalyptus, it’s a relaxing treat for the senses and for tired muscles.

Alternatively, you might want to add some Epsom salts to your relaxing bath routine.
Made from Magnesium sulphate, Epsom salts can help to sooth and revive tired muscles and have been linked to a relaxed state of mind.
If your muscles continue to ache when you step out of the bath, consider using a massage oil as part of your post-bath skin care routine.
Not got a tub?
Our scent-free bath wash can also be used as shower gel and blended with Alexandra Kay Pure Essential Oils to make your shower a self-care sanctuary. You can also hang a little Eucalyptus in your shower and inhale its soothing scent as you wash.
