While I’m a vocal supporter of long, luxurious bubble baths, they aren’t always the most practical option. While many of us would love to be able to spend hours relaxing in the tub doing DIY spa treatments, we don’t normally have that kind of leisure time!
But luckily for us, there are many skin treatments you can use to keep your skin soft and moisturized that don’t require a leisurely soak in the tub! In fact, there are many you can fit into your normal shower routine (or even into your speedy shower routine after hitting the snooze button one too many times!)
In order to demonstrate my point, today I have 7 easy skin treatments to share with you! All of them are totally doable during your morning or evening shower, so there’s really no reason not to treat your skin to a mini spa treatment! :-)
7 Easy Skin Treatments You Can Do In The Shower
1. Soothe Irritation

5. Moisturizing Scrub
Keep a jar of Epsom salt and a bottle of your favorite carrier oil in your bathroom, and you’ll always be prepared to scrub away dry skin. Just add a teaspoon or two of carrier oil to a small handful of Epsom salt and scrub!
This makes the perfect quick and easy treatment for dry heels, knees, elbows, or any area of your skin that dries out easily.
6. Banish Dryness
Speaking of dry skin, sometimes you need something extra moisturizing to help restore your skin to its normal softness. In these cases, it pays to keep a bottle of
This super-concentrated lotion is designed to be applied in the shower while your skin is still a bit damp. Give it a try for yourself, and by the time you’re out of the shower and ready to go, your skin will feel perfectly soft and moisturized!
7. Fight Acne
Keep acne at bay while you shower with the help of tea tree oil! Just add a couple of drops of tea tree oil right into the bottle of your favorite cleanser and use as you normally would.
You can use this tip outside of the shower as well, but a steamy shower helps open your pores for a deeper clean than you might achieve normally!
