Though society remains staunchly divided between “bath people” and “shower people” lines, there are many things, global pandemic notwithstanding, that can be remedied by taking a dip in your tub. In addition to soothing aching muscles and frazzled nerves, baths offer the perfect time for a little self-reflection, or at least to catch up on Netflix—if you haven’t already blown through their catalogue in quarantine. Given the current state of affairs, it’s no surprise that more and more people are indulging in a little self-care. Forget about the Mr. Bubble, times have changed—instead try adorable alien bath bombs, luxurious Ayurvedic oils, stylish rose-scented salts and mineral baths that will make you forget you’re still just in your apartment.
