How to Take a Better Bath: Step by Step

How to Create a Bath Ritual That Restores You

A good bath can turn a hard day around. You don't need anything fancy. Here's how I take a bath that really helps me relax.

Step 1: Get Ready First

Set out a clean towel, your pajamas, a glass of water and your body butter before you get in. That way, you don't have to rush around after.

Step 2: Get the Water Right

Warm, not hot. Very hot water can dry out your skin and make you feel lightheaded.

Step 3: Add Something Special

Step 4: Unplug

Leave your phone in another room. Turn the lights down. Play quiet music if you like.

Step 5: Soak

Stay in for 15 to 20 minutes. Breathe slowly. Let your shoulders drop. This is a good time to pray, think, or just be still.

Step 6: Wash Up

Use a gentle soap like our French Lavender & Oats bar. Every bar we make has shea butter, coconut milk and kaolin clay.

Step 7: Moisturize

Pat dry and put on Soothing Aloe Hand & Body Butter while your skin is still damp.

Stay Safe

  • Bath products with butters can make the tub slippery. Step out carefully.
  • If you're pregnant or have a health condition, check with your doctor about bath temperature and products.

Our Tip

Make it a weekly habit. Having something calm to look forward to makes the whole week feel better.
