There are two types of people: Bath lovers and Shower lovers. Whether you prefer to spend 30 minutes luxuriating in a hot soak or 10 minutes to just get clean, there are products for both that pamper body and spirit. (Note for you bath peeps: all of our soap or suds faves also work for YOU!)
FOR THE BATH:
Jo Malone Nutmeg & Ginger Bath Oil When British facialist Jo Malone wanted to thank clients for their patronage, she created and gifted them with Nutmeg and Ginger body oil, and thus a fragrance company was born. Aromatherapists claim that nutmeg has both addictive and aphrodisiacal properties... we just love how our skin feels post-bath: soft, silky, and wafting amour. NeimanMarcus.com & JoMalone.com
