The best way to relax is taking a bath, no? So let’s start this gift guide with items that will work in your shower, like Mio Skincare QuickStart Exhilerating Shower Gel, Caldrea Essential Collection Body Wash in Apple Mint, or H2O Plus SPA Sea Salt Skin Smoother.
The Mio Skincare QuickStart is supposed to invigorate you; the Caldrea Body Wash doesn’t smell too herbal, but more like a delicious juicy mix of fruit and herbs; and the H2O Plus scrub is pleasantly gritty. But if you want something more straightforwardly fruity, then try Korres Showergel in Bergamot Pear, an unexpected fragrance—how often do you see anything smelling like pear?—that would be a really unique addition to your bathing arsenal.
Also unique? LUSH Bath Bombs are always a good bet: Secret Garden Bath Bomb smells like a mix of roses and oranges, whereas Inhale Exhale Bath Bomb is a mix of melon and sandalwood.
Why not wash your hair really well with Ouidad Superfruit Renewal Clarifying Cream Shampoo, slather on the Kanebo Sensai Intensive Hair Mask, and just take a soak with the LUSH bath bombs? I could think of a worse way to spend a Sunday.
And then, when you get out of the tub, finish off your routine with the NUDE Miracle Mask. The mask is meant to brighten and exfoliate, and if you’re giving yourself the full-body treatment, you certainly can’t forget your face. Pampering accomplished!
