The art of the festive bath - our team shares the luxurious products and rituals they use for the ultimate Christmastime tub

A collage of the beauty team's 'festive bath' essentials, including product shots of the Elemis Frangipani Monoi Salt Glow Body Scrub, the Rituals Limited Edition Intuitia Velvety Foaming Shower Gel, Olverum Bath Oil, Laura Mercier Honey Bath and Maison Francis Kurkdjian Mon Beau Sapin Candle/ all arranged in a line across a cream background with a gold glitter and bubble bath overlay.

December, while full of cheer, is a stressful month. Even if you get all your shopping and prep done within plenty of time, even just the social gatherings and general merriment can become draining. But for whenever that pre or post-Christmas slump hits, our team has the perfect festive remedy...

Combining scents of verdant fir trees, rich spices and warming amber, with foaming bubbles and oils that quench thirsty and tired skin, our answer to the holiday season and all its demands is a merry ol' soak in a 'festive' bath. So, what sets a festive bath apart from your average tub? Well, simply put, it's been drawn with all the festive trimmings. A luxe bath oil, for instance, ambient lighting supplied by a Christmassy candle and a pot of one of the best-smelling body lotions waiting beyond the steaming waters, ready to be slathered onto perfectly clean and pampered skin. It's a bath, but simultaneously so much more than a bath.
