I used to love a relaxing bath, but my life lately has been too busy to indulge in baths. However, when the lovely folks at The Seaweed Bath Co. sent over a basket of seaweed products, including the Wildly Natural Seaweed Powder Bath with Hawaiian Kukui Oil in Lavender, I had the excuse I needed!

Allison: I have been in need of a relaxing bath too. Plus, I know how good seaweed is for your skin and body, so I was excited to try it out. 

The Wildly Natural Seaweed Powder Bath products combine hand-harvested, brown seaweed with moisturizing agents, like the organic Kukui Oil found in mine. Kukui is rich in oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids and is a potent natural moisturizer that helps soothe irritated skin. Lavender always reminds me of bedtime, so it was a deciding factor in which flavor of seaweed bath I chose (it also comes in Citrus, Eucalyptus & Peppermint, and Unscented). There is also another oil option, beauty darling argan oil.

The baths are also supposed to be awesome for people with skin conditions. I mainly needed hydration for my winter-dried skin!

So, let the bath begin! I dumped the contents of the brown paper packet into the tub. It looked like this:

Allison: And for your viewing pleasure, this is what it looks like when you are getting it out of the pouch:

Then, I followed the instructions to swirl powder around until dissolved. It looked like this:

Allison: And this is what your bath looks like with the Seaweed Powder Bath inside:

Admittedly, not the most appealing tub of water to get into, but in the name of research I plunged in. I relaxed into water that felt just like normal bath water. It smelled a smidge seaweed-y, but not overwhelming. The instructions say you should stay for 15-30 minutes, I stayed in just 15 (something about that busy life ...). When I got out, my skin was incredibly hydrated. Like, silky smooth to the touch. Not at all dry, but not at all oily. The Wildly Natural Seaweed Powder Bath provides magic hydration!

While it may be ugly to look at, my seaweed bath left my skin super hydrated.

Allison: Not only is it ugly to look at, it's weird when you are in the bath. Have you ever been really dirty and your bath water is dirty when you get out? It was so hard to wrap my mind around the fact that I was not super dirty, but that the water looked like that on purpose! I wasn't a huge fan of the smell either. But agreeing with Lyssa, my skin did feel hydrated after I got out. I could see how this would be a huge relief to somone with skin problems, but for the everyday person, it leaves your skin feeling soft and refreshed!
