6 Face Mask + Bath Pairings For the Perfect Relaxing Soak

It’s said that women are natural multitaskers. I know I can’t go get a glass of water from the kitchen without folding a couple shirts on the way and double tapping some Instagrams before getting back to my desk. So is it crazy to multitask even when you’re relaxing?

Hear me out: you know how when you read a book while lying on the beach you’re essentially performing two important relaxing activities at the same time? Take this idea with you to the tub! Pairing your bath soak with the perfect face mask will make both of them more effective, and you – more relaxed. You can even bring your book if you like.

Energizing

If you’re lucky enough to be able to start the day with a bath, this combination is for you! The citrus scent will energize you while exfoliating particles leave your skin baby soft.

Our picks:

Brand New Day Mircoderma Scrub and Mask + Aura Cacia Energizing Lemon Mineral Bath

Hydrating

Whether you’re hungover from yesterday’s BBQ or have spent a little too much time in the sun, you need to rehydrate! Opt for a combination of moisturizing face mask and oil-based bubble bath to get your glow back.

Our picks:

Tata Harper Moisturizing Mask + Deep Steep Coconut Lime Bubble Bath

Sleeping

Trouble sleeping? Taking a bath before bed helps, especially if your mask and bath salts are infused with calming scents like lavender. Bergamot, ylang ylang, and jasmine are also good options.

Recovering

After you’ve been sick or if you’re feeling like your entire body could use a reboot from all the stress you’re handling, go for healing, soothing ingredients in your bath and skincare products.

Our picks:

Osmia Organics Recovery Salt Bath + Acure Brightening Vegetable Peel

Detoxing

Get rid of the toxins on your face and body at the same time by pairing a clay mask with a spa-worthy bath soak. You could even have a cup of matcha tea while you’re at it.

Our picks:

Sukin Detoxifying Clay Mask + San Francisco Salt Co. Detox Soak

Cooling down

When it’s hot outside, you need to take some time for yourself and cool down! Look for ingredients like blue tansy, cucumber, mint or lemon in your beauty products, and you’ll get out of the tub feeling refreshed and ready to face those temperatures.
