Tips & Warnings

  • Try putting on a little background music to help you relax ' but don't keep electronic devices close enough to the tub that they might fall in.
  • Don't forget your rubber ducky or other bath toys.
  • If you are pregnant or have dry skin, opt for warm water as opposed to hot.
  • Keep in mind that ingredients in some bubble baths can be drying to the skin ' choose a product with moisturizers such as aloe or vitamin E.

on 8/8/2006 While the hot water is running into the tub, pour Herbal Essences shampoo through the stream of water coming from the faucet. Not only does your bath have the scent of roses, it also has bubbles galore! This tip works like a charm.
