Relaxing in a steamy bubble bath can help relieve bodily stress and loosen tight muscles. Bubble baths can be even more nourishing when enhanced with other ingredients, such as coconut milk. Coconut milk is used to moisturize skin, kill bacteria and get rid of acne. Simply pour the coconut milk into the bubble bath to get the benefits of both coconut milk and the bubbles, or create the ultimate soothing bath by combining the milk with oatmeal, essential oils and other ingredients that ease you into blissful relaxation.

Tips & Warnings

Make more of the coconut milk concoction and rub the leftover milk on parts of your skin that need the most moisturizing.

Use a container that is not easily breakable, since the container may slip and fall in the bathroom.

Consider using other ingredients , such as salts, soaks, scrubs and a sea sponge.

If you do not want to make the bubble bath concoction yourself, you can buy a premade product.

When you buy a coconut milk product, check the ingredients to see what other substances are in the product. If the coconut milk is not high on the list of ingredients, the product does not likely have much coconut milk.
