It's Cold, Stay Inside—These Are The 13 Best Bath Products That Turn Your Tub Into a Spa

If I could only buy one bath product ever again, it would be this. Okay, fine, it would be the Laura Mercier Almond Vanilla Honey Bath, but trying to find that one is stock is tough right now. Trust me, all of the Laura Mercier Honey Baths are fabulous. Not only do they deliver ample bubbles, but the nourishing milk leaves skin feeling soft and silky, too. The best bit? The scent, of course. This one's like creamy coconut and warm almonds mixed together—pure heaven.

This water-like liquid looks like an oil at first, but as soon as it hits that running water, it lathers up into a luxurious bubble. For days when you're feeling under the weather and a little bunged up, it's pure bliss. A little goes a long way, and the tea tree oil, ginger, eucalyptus and echinacea aroma clears sinuses and relaxes tired muscles in a matter of minutes. As soon as I feel a cold coming on, this is the first thing I reach for.

This is the bath product I recommend for showering people. Look, I get it: not everyone likes a bath. However, spending £14.99 on this bubble bath will convince you that baths can be great. With an earthy but invigorating blend of white thyme, bergamot and hemp seed oil, it helps to soothe soreness and take down inflammation, all while putting your mind at peace.

If you haven't yet had the joy of smelling L'Occitane's Amande body care, consider this your sign. Like warm marzipan and creamy milk without any of the sickly sweetness, it's one of the most luxurious smells in beauty. This milky bath soak turns water into a moisturising delight—like cocooning yourself in a blanket of skin-and-mind-soothing bliss.

If you prefer salts in your bath to bubbles or milks, you should have Mirror Water's Soak on your radar. With three forms of salts (including Himalayan rock salt, magnesium salt and Epsom salt), Soak helps to fight fatigue, relieve tired muscles and soothe stressed-out skin. And speaking of stress, the earthy, forest-like aroma (which definitely fills the room, btw) is one of the most stress-relieving I've ever come across.

This bath foam is the best pre-bed bath product out there. With a lavender, sweet basil and jasmine smell, the aroma is delicately floral and totally snooze-inducing. It's formulated with marshmallow and coconut oil, which means when you jump out, your skin will be baby soft.

This is the bath product I keep out on my side for visitors to look at but never touch. It looks every bit as luxurious in the bottle as it is in the tub. Lathering in a silky foam, it produces the most inviting bath. Enriched with mallow blossom, pine oil and antiseptic juniper berry oil, it gives a suitably delicious cleanse without drying skin out in the slightest.

When it comes to luxury bath products, this is the soak to know about. I know that £60 is a ridiculous amount of money to spend on bath salts (trust me, I hear myself), but if you have the money to spend, these really are a true delight. With magnesium salts, Himalayan salts, Dead Sea salts and amethyst, this product makes for a seriously relaxing bath time. Plus, the zingy aroma of lavender, ginger, petitgrain, mandarin and sandalwood works to release tension and ground you all at once.

These bath pearls give me retro vibes in all of the right ways. You add a handful to your bath, and they release the most beautiful floral scent (if you're a fan of Miss Dior, you'll already be familiar with it). Are they a necessity? Absolutely not. However, they'd make one hell of a gift, don't you agree?

I don't condone spending £68 on bath salts. However, if you were to spend £68 on bath salts, I'd make it these. Unlike most salts, they create a nourishing milk in the water that soothes and moisturises skin in need. With rose oud and lavender, you'd be forgiven for thinking the scent would be overwhelming. Instead, it's delicate, subtle, and almost impossibly relaxing.

Much like the aforementioned C.O. Bigelow soak, this bath oil helps to clear blocked sinuses and breathe some life into you when you're feeling bunged up. And although it's great at all of that, the eucalyptus, peppermint, pine, and tea tree essential oil blend is particularly good at waking you up first thing in the morning. Either add a cap to your bath or, for a truly uplifting experience, massage the oil into tired limbs before getting in the bath.
