My name is Margaux Anbouba, I’m a diehard bath person, and this is my story. My bath style is equal parts, Julia Roberts, in Pretty Woman—zoning out while listening to music on her headphones—and Tony Montana in Scarface—sans the yelling, screaming, and life of crime with more of a mob leader confidence surrounded by bubbles. Either way, in a dream world, I’m soaking in a tub.
The rationale behind my madness is a 2018 study that found immersing yourself in warm water for just 10 minutes can not only improve mental health but also helps in relieving pain. I’m so obsessed that my friends call me a bath witch because I concoct potions, salts, and essential oils nightly, depending on my mood. When I’m feeling under the weather, I’ll grab eucalyptus and lavender, and when I want an instant mood boost, my citrusy bath bomb does the trick. If I want to make things a little PG-13? I’ll grab the sexy Le Labo Santal 33 bath salts I stole from my Gramercy Park hotel room to set the mood.
My daily ritual means I’ve had a chance to try every bath-related product on the market. Bath bombs, oils, bubbles, and salts, all spiked with essential oils, are critical to the perfect soak, and below I’ve chosen some of my favorites for your dip in the tub tonight. Yes, you can trust my pruney little fingers.
