Men deserve to pamper themselves too. After a long hard day, try unwinding with an indulgent and relaxing bath soak.
Typically, people think of long, relaxing baths for women. However, men can get just as many wonderful benefits from bath soaks as anyone.
Bath soaks can help relax tension in your body. They can help you unwind and decompress after a long stressful day and leave your skin feeling soothed, calm, and nourished.
They’re the perfect way to chill when you need a little quiet time. Fortunately, there are a ton of great bath soak options for men to enjoy.
Four Steps To Pick A Great Bath Soak
Picking a bath soak is easy, though it does require just a little bit of research. Here are four steps to picking the best bath soak for your unique needs:
1. Choose Natural Ingredients:
You want to make sure that you only use products that contain the highest quality natural ingredients. Many bath products are made with harmful additives and ingredients with names you cannot pronounce.
These can cause irritation and dryness and ultimately, damage the skin. Always read the ingredients panel and make sure that the ingredients are all-natural and something you recognize. At Better Bath Better Body, we use three primary natural ingredients in our bath soaks:
- USP Grade salts
- Pure essential oils
- Vitamin C crystals
By using natural simple ingredients, your skin will be nourished and soft.
2. Be Mindful Of Packaging:
Since most beauty products are not ingested, many people overlook the packaging. However, our skin is very absorbent.
Look for sustainable and chemical-free packaging that won't harm your health. For example, at Better Bath Better Body, our bath soaks are packaged in BPA-free bags.
3. Determine Your Needs:
Bath soaks have many wonderful benefits and can address a multitude of concerns. For example, our Back Soothing Bath Soak is ideal for anyone who needs a pamper session, while our Stress Relief Bath Soak is great for anyone who needs to relax, unwind, and destress.
There are many other options ideal for different demands. Think about what in your life you’d like to address. Then you can assess the different options based on your needs.
4. Pick A Tranquil Scent:
Finally, to the fun part. Most bath salts are made with essential oils. So they are pretty gender-neutral. Nonetheless, we at Better Bath Better Body offer those with more masculine scents like the Gentleman’s Bath Soak, which is infused with peppermint, frankincense, eucalyptus, and cedarwood essential oils.
Its aroma is a beautiful blend of woodsy, musk, and mint for a classic masculine aroma. Other blends are infused with essential oils like lavender, sandalwood, and turmeric that create natural, earthy, and herbal aromas.
If you can’t decide or are unfamiliar with these scents, try reading an aromatherapy guide. This will help you understand the benefits and aromas of different essential oils and help you narrow down your selection.
Following these four steps will ensure you pick a high-quality bath soak.

How To Prepare The Perfect Bath Soak
Preparing a bath soak is a bit of an art form. Many people add candles, relaxing music, and escape into the pleasure. Other people like to be a bit more active. They’ll sit back, read or watch videos on their phone, and enjoy a glass of wine or eat some snacks.
Having all of these lovely additions can take your bath to the next level. However, if you want to keep things simple, it’s easy.
First, start filling the tub with warm water. Experts recommend water temperature to be between 90-105°F, similar to our body temperature. Cooler baths are great for alleviating while warmer baths are great for soothing.
As you fill the tub, add 1/2 to 1 cup of bath salts, depending on the size of your tub. The general recommendation is 1 to 2 tablespoons per gallon. Once the bath salts dissolve into the water, you can enter the tub.
Turn off the water when the tub is full. Then soak for at least 20-30 minutes to get the maximum benefits of the bath salts. Once you are done, pat yourself dry and feel like a new man!
