Best bath oils to buy and benefits of using bath oils

No other bath product is more iconic. His one for bath oil purists (this one doesn’t lather). A blend of natural botanical extracts of Siberian fir leaf, eucalyptus, lavender, and rosemary essential oils are formulated to soothe and restore tired muscles. Add a capful to a hot bath before bed to induce a deep sleep.

Beauty director Eve Cameron is a fan of Wren’s signature rose oil. “I like to put a few drops of this in my bathtub and reflect on her life,” she says. “It has a delicate rose scent, it leaves your skin feeling soft, and the cap and bottle are recyclable. It’s just lovely.”

“Good, effective aromatherapy is worth the money, especially when a little goes a long way,” says senior beauty editor Alex Friend. “Inhaling the green peppery aroma feels like a complete reset of the mind and body. It’s energizing in the morning, calming at night, and a wonderful treat.”

This one, like the others in our compilation, isn’t really stimulating to the senses, but it’s an essential bathroom for sensitive skin. For people with dry skin that has a weakened skin barrier, if you soak in the bath for a while, your skin may feel tight and uncomfortable as soon as you get out of the bath. Applying this generously protects your delicate skin barrier, coating it lightly with a protective layer that prevents moisture loss. It’s a smart purchase.

Former beauty writer Medina Azharuddin’s latest discovery is this CBD-infused oil that promotes sleep. “This Works has done extensive research into scents that aid sleep and relaxation, and this one definitely works,” she says.

Just add a few drops to your bath and enjoy the grounding scent of woody vetiver, chamomile, and lavender (shown here subtly, but perfect for those who aren’t normally into lavender).

“If you love bubbly baths like I do, pair it with this Baylis & Harding bath,” suggests Medina.

This affordable product is former beauty editor Gillian Davis’ go-to. Because it’s amazingly effective at soothing muscles after a workout (she also throws in a handful of Epsom salts!).

“A few drops and your entire bathroom will be filled with the most delicious scent. It’s not exactly a relaxing scent per se…it’s more like a very pure, healthy spa in the Austrian Alps. ,” says Gillian.

If you love milk baths, try this almond blend from L’Occitane.

“Fans of L’Occitane’s cult-favorite Almond Shower Oil will love this bath milk. A little goes a long way and leaves your skin as soft and smooth as a shower oil. I love it” says Gillian says.
