Gel Face Wash

It’s just a gentle green juice for the face that leaves that refreshing feeling. We suggest face gels with leafy greens, such as kale, spinach vitamins, green tea, that provide the skin a powerful, healthy boost. Traditionally, they are sulfate-free and vegan and approved by Clean and Sephora. It also foams on its own thanks to natural components like quillaja saponaria, or soapbark.

Bath oils

Oils are just great before bedtime. They contain scents that send you off into a tranquil slumber. They hydrate and soothe skin. When mixed with water, oil goes deeper into the skin and rejuvenates it. The heated oil improves blood circulation, stiff joints, and reduces fatigue significantly.

Spa Bath Pillow

Amongst bathtub relaxation accessories, this one is probably the most useful. It provides an extra cushion for the neck and back while you soak in a tub.

These are decent alternatives to bath salts. Magnesium chloride is even more healing than the ordinary Epsom salt and can soothe fast long-term pains via a long, hot plunge into the tub.

The spicy mustard contains the ingredients that strengthen sweat glands, stimulate circulation, and soothe soreness in the muscles. Helicopter moms will definitely appreciate this product as they know for sure what swollen feet, aching back, and stiff muscles are.

Bath bombs

These balls are definitely an integral part of any relaxing bubble bath. First, they are very nourishing as they are made of butter like cocoa, for example. Second, they are super scented, and this odor spreads throughout the entire room giving it an incredible delight. Usually, bombs turn the water some color, so that you imagine lying in the grass or blue waters of the ocean. Or, perhaps you’ll want a sherbet bomb that smells like summer dessert, reminding of careless childhood.

Bath drops

These tiny balls contain different kinds of nourishing oils like clary sage, grapeseed oil, and more. They are designed to “wrap” the skin within a veil of hydration. If you experience inflammation and redness, clary sage is an essential oil that treats rough patches and clogged pores.

By the way, for those having a relaxing bubble bath before bedtime, it’s a win because it is known for libido stimulation in both men and women.

Conditioning Mask

As you soak, why don’t you take care of your hair? A conditioning mask without harsh sulfates, phthalates, parabens, silicones, DEA, or artificial dyes will do a great job here. Usually, they contain natural oils like argan oil or almond one to restore your hair. It especially makes sense if the hair is fuzzy, dry, and tangled.

Besides, they l have a good scent so you’ll get some aromatherapy.

Also, consider adding to this a glass of wine, favorite tunes, and these simple things will make your evening for sure.

This is also called a digital detox bath. If you’re an employee working in front of a PC all day long, you need some digital detox. You can have it while taking a hot relaxing bubble bath.

It reboots completely within ten to twenty minutes.

Oil Reed Diffuser

If you don’t like candles but still want a nice scent around, an essential oil diffuser might be a solution. Just put a reed diffuser filled with rosemary, cinnamon, or lavender oil on the counter, and you’ll immediately feel the calming scent around. Unlike candles that need the flame to deliver aroma, reed diffusers last all the long and just need to be flipped over once or twice a week. Usually, the set includes a glass bottle full of oil, a bundle of perfume reeds, and a nice box. This thing literally beautifies every single place where it’s put.

As for the use, it’s absorbent keeping water in its thick piles and machine-washable and dryable. In short, this thing will let you “dwell” in that nirvana state after your stepping out of the tub.

Suction cup

At first glimpse, this item looks useless, but it can really help out. The cup is designed to prevent water from slowly leaking down the drain and destroying your long-awaited hot bath. It is plastic and convenient for different shaped tubs. It especially makes sense if the bathtub is shallow and you don’t plan to remodel but want to enjoy bath procedures without controlling the time. So, by preventing water leakage, you’ll get your extra gallons of water, which allows you to stay in a hot tub more time and chill out more. It’s very easy to use as you just remove the drain cover and hang it to dry out.

Hair Catcher

It’s the third item that can save your me-time from the hair-filled bath water. Women with long hair will love it for sure. Since the tub drain gets clogged all the time, and we spend tons of time digging it out, it’s better to use a hair catcher every time you take a bath. Just think about it! You’re stepping out of the tub, clean and heated, and a few minutes later, you need to clean it up from hair. With regular plugs, it’s annoying! With the hair catcher, you wipe it off, and that’s it! How convenient!

Disco lights for bathtub

One of the most extraordinary bathtub relaxation accessories is disco lights for the bathtub. If you want fun and dance party-ish right in your tub, that’s for you. Who said that a relaxing bath should be tranquil? This device projects a huge array of psychedelic multicolored light patterns onto the tub's bottom and sides. It features the button that allows changing the patterns like subdued or dynamic. It looks like an underwater disco light show. You should know that it is absolutely waterproof in case you worry about the damage.

Jar of unicorn soap

Did you know that the unicorn theme is not just for the kids? The TV shows’ star Nina Dobrev is literally obsessed with unicorns. If you’re like her, then this jar is the right thing. Each jar contains more than 20 mini unicorn-shaped soaps with a delightful jelly scent in a pastel rainbow of colors. There’s also a touch of glitter as unicorns are about sparkling. This weird jar will actually remind you how fabulous you are and how bright life is while soaking in the hot tub.

Bath-themed subscription boxes

It’s an all-in-one box with bathtub relaxation accessories for your ultimate bathing experience. Different brands offer different boxes, and we’re not going to promote them here. But traditionally, they include handcrafted items like scented candles, soaps, bath bombs, self-care products. Some put spiritual healing crystals and local teas in a tub as their monthly packaging. We have to admit that even the brand’s packages can lift the spirits significantly. How much love, care, and creativeness is put in there! So, if you don’t want to organize all the bathing items separately, just order the box.

Waterproof speaker

The item is just a no-brainer from bathtub relaxation accessories as it just streams the relaxation music while you’re unwinding in the tub. Now, you can sing to your heart’s content. You can hang it up because it has a little D-ring. So, what do you get with it? Excellent sound (usually with super powerful bass which is pivotal for meditation and relaxation), great instrumental translation with clear highs, mid, lows, and utmost convenience. In a nutshell, you get a great value with a friendly price tag.

Waterproof phone case

Devices and relaxation in a hot tub are not compatible unless you want to watch a favorite TV show or listen to a favorite playlist stored on your mobile phone. In this case, a waterproof phone case is as necessary as any other accessory from our list. Any iPhone or Android phone fits really well in the case. The sound quality is as good as the speaker’s one, even if the phone is sealed in the case. If style matters to you, you can pick from 13 styles available. At least, when chilling out to the beats, you won’t be worrying that the device might fall into the water and get damaged.

Jetted-tub cleaner

Another factor that can ruin your bathing experience is a filthy tub. Seriously! When you’re about to take a bath, do all prep work quickly, step in, and feel like soaking in dirty water. It’s not a good start for a relaxing bubble bath. That’s why we added this to our list of must-have accessories for bath time. Clean the tub three times a week to make sure that nothing can ruin this intention every time you need to catch up on your me-time. Moreover, it’s recommended to clean the tubs post-bath as body oils also leave some taint.

Amazon Echo Dot

Here’s one more speaker-like accessory from our list of bathtub relaxation accessories that deliver pure music while you enjoy a relaxing bath. It doesn’t take too much room. You can control music or run audiobooks or podcasts from the tub with your voice. To be specific, it plays music from Apple Music, Pandora, Amazon Music, iHeartradio. Although doing any kind of work is not recommended for relaxation, yet if you need it, you can control home devices, call someone and answer questions, alarms with this thing remotely.

Best products for relaxing bath: Final word
