Zodiac Bathing Rituals

Bathing routines do not have to feel overwhelming – the act itself can be as simple as taking a bath. Whether bath time is something you can take part in multiple times a week or once a month, every time will feel like pure luxury, and you can feel good knowing you took the time for yourself to unwind and indulge. Here are some tips for making the most of your bath routine, based on your zodiac sign.

Aries

Your motivation and work drive is one of your most admirable traits, but if you’re not careful, your ambitious and energetic nature can lead to some serious burnout. Use your bath time as a way to reward yourself for your hard work, and leave your stress at the door (which means no phone in the bath to check emails). Add some soaking salts to a warm bath for some extra soothing and a few drops of your favorite essential oil to lift your mood. Dude or Summer Nectar soaps will be your go to. Make your favorite tea, and cozy up with a book to help you escape. To keep the benefits of your bath going, use body butter when you get out to lock in moisture and keep your skin silky smooth.

Taurus

You are the master of total indulgence and love to treat yourself when you’re in need of extra relaxation. You also know the importance of spending some quality time at home, which makes baths a perfect ritual to incorporate into your routine. Draw a hot bath and add a few drops of your favorite essential oils to the running water. Hollywood and Beach Bum soaps will delight you. To give your winter skin some extra moisture, slather on some natural body butter. Double up with your favorite face mask, put on your favorite tunes, and enjoy.

Gemini

You’re known for your drive and communication skills, and are often feeling your best when you’re being social with the people you love. Because of this, it’s easy to forget how important it is to take time to yourself to check in and refocus. Set intentions for your bath time to help combat your tendency for boredom. Start off your routine by exfoliating with some natural salt scrub to rejuvenate your skin. Follow that by adding some invigorating essential oils to your bath, like rosemary or grapefruit. Blonde Bombshell and Power Shield soaps will be your favorite. Take this time to journal, catch up on your reading, or zone out to your favorite playlist.

Cancer

You know all about caring, but often you channel it more towards others than yourself. Spending your energy caring for loved ones is one of your kindest qualities, but if you neglect yourself in the process, it can make for some serious exhaustion. Use your bath time as a way to disconnect and spend some quality alone time. Use some Lavendous gel as bubble bath along with a bar of Lavendous soap to relieve tension and nourish your body. Light a candle, and relax.

Leo

Your magnetic energy makes you the life of any party, which you love, but this year is all about bringing your trademark enthusiasm to your own well-being. Pay attention to what you need, and create a bath routine that helps you feel like the best version of yourself. Take a soaking salt and add your favorite gel to make a bubble bath and add a few drops of your favorite essential oil. You will love Rose & Mary Meet Mr. Mint soap! Put on a rejuvenating face mask, watch a new movie you’ve been curious about, follow it up with some luxurious lotion for extra hydration, and bask in your solitude.

Virgo

You have a tendency to strive for perfectionism, which makes you highly motivated and keeps you thinking about all of your great ideas, but also means you often stretch yourself too thin. Treat your bath time as the part of the week where you let yourself relax and reward yourself for all of your hard work. Exfoliate with salt scrub pre-bath, then add some lavender, tea tree, and rosemary essential oils to the running water for extra relaxation. Out of Rome soap will give you a feeling of being in another time and place. Light a candle, sip on sparkling water and unwind.

Libra

You feel a strong need to keep the peace and make everyone happy, which can lead to you feeling torn between being super social with friends and taking time to yourself. Treat your bath ritual as an event to look forward to that’s perfectly tailored to you. Choose Destiny gel to make a bubble bath and use Destiny soap to erase dry skin. Listen to your favorite play list and call your boyfriends. Follow up with body butter to keep the hydration going.

Scorpio

The passion and intensity that you bring to everything you do is admirable, but can often be emotionally and physically exhausting. Treat your bath as a way to detox and rejuvenate your body and mind by taking the time to exfoliate with salt scrub before you soak. Add some patchouli essential oil to the running water to soothe your spirit, and a bar of Japanese Dusk help you reach a peaceful zen place, brew a pot of your favorite tea, and spend some time getting your thoughts and feelings out in a journal.

Sagittarius

Your curiosity and need for freedom has you constantly on the go, but you can treat your bath time as a dreamy escape that you don’t even need to leave the house for. Throw some rose petals in your bath. The rose properties will soften your skin. Frederick or Bitch soaps will be your favorite scents! Grab a drink and settle in with a rom com that takes place somewhere faraway while you fantasize about where you want to go next.

Capricorn

You pride yourself on your admirable ambition and attention to detail, but it’s important to give yourself a break and know when it’s time to unwind. Use your bath time to focus on your emotional center and tap into what you need. Run a bath with soaking salt to relieve tension, and add grapefruit and lavender essential oils for an extra treat. Andrew's Hemp or Vajingo soaps will rock your world! Take some time to catch up on what you’ve been missing, whether it’s a new book or a podcast you’re a few weeks behind on.

Aquarius

You find immense value in your individuality and alone time. Extend this energy to your self-care routines this year so you can self-reflect and connect. Make your bath a sacred ritual for you to get in touch with yourself. Add Paris and Lizard Queen soaps with a few drops of ylang ylang essential oil to your bath. Burn some incense, make some chamomile tea, and check in with your emotions. Follow up with body butter to keep the moisturizing benefits of your bath flowing.

Pisces

You are known for your self-awareness and intuition, which is beneficial and makes you highly perceptive, but can also leave you feeling overwhelmed. Harness those powers and create a haven for your deepest daydreams to come to fruition with your bath routine. Add some eucalyptus essential oil and soaking salts to the water, light a calming candle, and a guided meditation to help you feel centered and in tune with yourself. Goodfellas and O Honey Fairest will be your favorite soaps to help relieve dry skin.
