With a thousand and one trends crowding your For You Page and an endless number of beauty and skin-care products to scroll through, the Everything Bath is the one trend you’ll want to linger on. For those of us who love a good bath, the partner to this trend, the Everything Shower just had one problem: we want to sit down! And thankfully, the Everything Bath is the perfect self-care indulgence that treats not just your skin, but also gives you that calm, relaxing soak.
So, unwind those sore muscles and let’s sink down into the warm, bubbly waters of the Everything Bath.
What’s an Everything Bath?
You can think of this as the relaxed sibling of the super-intense Everything Shower. As seen on TikTok and Good Morning America! the idea is to pack as much self, skin, body and hair care as you possibly can. More than just just getting clean, the Everything Shower is about the ritual of it. You’re encouraged to use aromatherapy, music and mood lighting to make your experience as luxe as possible. And while that sounds nice for the Everything Shower in theory, in practice it looks like a lot of standing.
In comes the Everything Bath.
This is the slower, more comfortable version of the much-loved trend. And you can even have a glass of wine within reach! This version of the trend will require some amount of pre-bath work if you’re looking to incorporate shaving into your Everything Bath routine. But let’s face it, shaving is perhaps the most time-consuming part of the whole experience, and sitting down after you rinse for a soothing bath sounds like heaven to me.
There’s data behind the idea that soaking contributes to a feeling of relaxation, and there’s something to be said for a self-care routine you can add a headrest, book and snacks to. With the right set up, this bath can be the spa experience you’ve been needing.
You can still incorporate all the balms, oils and creams you want to keep your skin and hair feeling soft and smooth. Just don’t be afraid to start with a quick shower to get the day’s grime off before you relax into foamy waters.
And of course, there are plenty of bath products to incorporate.
