Drugstore Products That'll Revolutionize Your Bath Game

There is only one thing better than bath time, and that's creating the most epic bath time on a budget. There are tons of incredible items out there just sitting on the drugstore shelves, waiting for you to indulge. While the term "drugstore" can sometimes get a bad rep, these products prove that even the best of the best can be found on a budget. From bath bombs and oils to accessories and salts, these products are top rated among drugstore and high end products. After all, relaxation shouldn't cost you.

Let's just call it like it is; having a plethora of bath items to choose from when it comes time to relax is just fun. If you're not looking to break the bank doing so, there are some really incredible brands out there. One of the top-rated bath brands, even according to Oprah, is Dr Teal's. With everything from bath salts to bath oils, this brand is all about the highest level of relaxation at the lowest cost. It's incredible, really.

If you think that's good, just wait until you see the rest of these products. In fact, they're so budget-friendly that you could easily add them all into your bath time rotation in no time.

When you can combine a mission with incredible results, you have a winning product. That's exactly what Alaffia EveryDay Shea Bubble Bath does. Not only does it have an almost perfect five-star rating on Amazon, with over 2,500 ratings we might add, but it also has a strong social justice mission to match.

According to PopSugar, the brand is "handcrafted by women's cooperatives in Africa using traditional methods" and ingredients like shea butter and African soap. "Their skills and knowledge are consistently undervalued," founder Olowo-n'djo Tchala tells PopSugar. "I created Alaffia as a way to change this, to give real value and awareness to the knowledge and resources of these women."

On top of all that, the product was also an Allure Best of Beauty Winner in 2020. Oh, and it's only $15 at Target. According to reviews, this product is not only extremely nourishing, but great for normal to very dry skin. Basically, just about every body will love this product. This is definitely a bath product to have on hand at all times. 

If you're looking for epsom salts, this is the top brand on the market. According to Amazon, Dr Teal's Pure Epsom Salt Soaking Solution has a 4.8 out of five rating with over 5,000 reviews. Just sprinkle two cups of salt into your bath and soak for 20 minutes to revive sore muscles, alleviate stress, and promote sleep (via USA Today). Ready for the best part? You can do all that for just $5.

Not only will the scent make your bath time feel super luxurious, but it'll help provide magnesium to your body (via Healthline). The publication says that people don't often get enough magnesium in their bodies and suggests that epsom salt is a great way to do that. This is also a great product to have on hand as the winter months hit. In fact, the product is rated one of the top items to have during cold and flu season, according to USA Today, as it helps revitalize and sooth the body.

That's a whole lot of benefits and a small price to pay — literally.

There truly is nothing better than a product that has more than one use, and this one has three. Shea Moisture's Olive and Green Tea Bath, Body, and Massage Oil is the product that just keeps giving. According to Influenster, people use this in their baths for added moisture, as a thicker body lotion overnight, and as massage oil. All of those uses will cost you a cool $9. 

All the glowing reviews of this product are no surprise when you consider the benefits. According to Medium, bath oils help blood circulation, alleviate fatigue, and help stiff joints. Basically, this product is great for all ages and skin types, plus it can be used as many times a week as you'd like. It truly doesn't get any better than this, especially when you consider the price. 

If this scent is a bit too earthy for you, you can also opt for the lavender and wild orchid or coconut and hibiscus blends. Or, you know, all three since they're so affordable.

When it comes to a recipe for a successful bath time, it's equal parts products and accessories. Nothing screams "pamper me" quite like a bath pillow. This ​​inflatable bath pillow from Amazon not only has crazy great reviews, but it's also only $8. One side is terry cloth as well, so you'll be at the peak comfort level your entire bath time. 

According to Self, this is a top-rated bath pillow for the way it cradles your head and the non-slip grip of the suction cups on the back. After all, nothing is worse than a slipping pillow while you're trying to relax. Both the fabric and the grip make for an ideal experience. Just add in your bubbles, soak in your salts, and light a candle or two. This pillow will have you feeling like you're at a high-end spa day for only a fraction of the price.

This list wouldn't quite be complete without a bath bomb on the list. Dr Teal's brand has amazing ratings on almost every product, but specifically for their bag of little bath balls. Byrdie even put it on their list of the top bath bombs overall, and it sits on the list with some pretty pricey contenders. 

What's so special about this one is that it's dye-free. According to Allure, some bath bombs can mess with your pH because of all the added fragrances and dyes. Dr Teal's keeps it simple and it pays off. Heck, you even get a whopping five bath bombs for $5. That's $1 per bath, which is actually incredible. Not to mention it's easier to make every bath time special — not just once in a while. Run, don't walk to Target to find these goodies.

Whether you're looking to stock up on your favorite item on this list or all five, you really can't go wrong. Gift them or keep them stocked in your bathroom closet for yourself, because the more the merrier with these incredible finds.
