Bubble baths can be very relaxing, but sometimes they’re only relaxing for five minutes before you feel like you’re just sitting in a tub of hot water. There is a difference between prepping a standard bubble bath and prepping a bubble bath you won’t want to leave.

If you’re wondering how to make a bubble bath, keep reading and our guide will show how. 

Getting the Perfect Glow

There’s no better way to achieve that perfect bathroom glow than by using candles. Arrange your candles around the tub and make sure nothing flammable is around the candle. The goal is candlelight, not a campfire!

Look for candles in your favorite scents or in scents that complement your bubble bath fragrance. Look here for a candle that smells like Christmas in a tin!

It’s vital that whatever surface your candles are on, whether it’s a candlestick holder or a decorative tray, you make sure they are secure. If you’re using candlestick holders, be sure to use candlestick adhesive to hold your candles in place.

If you want to feel extra fancy, you can go the extra mile and get a decorative box for your matches or an elegant candle snuffer. Candle snuffers are not only classier, but they also make extinguishing the candles safer.

Setting the Stage

The key to making the perfect bubble bath is preparation. You want to enjoy your bubble bath and feel like you never want to leave. If you’re wondering how to make a bubble bath, make sure you have these relaxing bath essentials:

A Bathtub Tray – This is essential for the perfect bath. Bathtub trays are made to rest across your bathtub for added space for everything you could need or want while in the tub. Candles? Check. Your phone or tablet? Check. A glass of wine? Check, check, check!

A Good Book – If you love to read but feel like you don’t have enough time to sit down and crack open a new book, try reading while in a relaxing bath! You can also download the audio version of a book you’ve wanted to read and listen to it instead while you soak in the tub.

Music – Play whatever relaxes you or makes you feel good. Find (or create) a playlist on Spotify or Youtube and play it during your bubble bath. Classical music, zen spa music, or even throwback 80’s hits, listen to whatever your heart desires!

The Perfect Bath Products

Now comes the part everyone thinks of when wondering how to make a bubble bath. We’re talking about creating your perfect relaxing bath concoction.

For bubbles, you can use a classic bubble bath soap or a bubble bar. Bubble bars are more environmentally friendly and create more bubbles. While you’re at it, add a bath bomb to the mix. Bath bombs come in all types of intoxicating scents, and watching it fizz away in the bath is just magical.

Extra relaxation bath ideas include pouring in some Epsom salts to relieve sore or aching muscles. You can also use a massage bar to ease any tension.
