Why Take A Bath?
Taking a Bath Can Help You Sleep Better
Taking a hot bath 1-2 hours before bed can help you fall asleep quicker and improve your quality of sleep. A hot bath, ideally around 104 to 109°F, raises your core body temperature. When you get out of the tub, your body temperature experiences a rapid drop as it cools down, lowering your core body temperature by about 0.5 to 1°F. This rapid cooldown period signals the pineal gland to stimulate melatonin production, helping you feel tired faster. Why not take a cold bath? Taking a cold bath rather than a hot bath will likely have the opposite effect, stimulating your fight-or-flight response.
Some research also suggests that essential oils like lavender, eucalyptus, and peppermint may promote relaxation and reduce anxiety, which can help you fall asleep faster and enhance your quality of sleep.

Bath Bombs Can Soothe Your Skin
Anytime you buy a bath bomb, you should always check the ingredients list to know what’s in the product you’re buying, as not all bath bombs are created equally. BASH Bombs uses high-quality ingredients intended to soothe, moisturize, and nourish your skin. All of our bath bombs contain moisturizing ingredients like cocoa butter, coconut oil, goat milk, and organic honey to leave your skin feeling hydrated and healthy. All the ingredients we use have been deemed safe and low-risk for skin irritation. Nevertheless, some people are hypersensitive to skincare products. If this sounds like you, check out the Basic Bee with Milk & Honey.
Taking a Bath Can Help You Decompress
If you’re hesitant to take a bath because you think you’ll be “bathing in your own filth,” don’t knock it ‘til you try it. You can try taking a quick shower before or after your bath if it makes you feel more comfortable, but it’s not necessary. If you’re an avid bath lover, you already know that a bath bomb can help you decompress after a long day. Lying down in the warm water, the aromatic scent of the bath bomb you choose, the beautiful color of the bath water—all these factors can help create a relaxing and spa-like environment to help you unwind and relax.
