5-Step Bath Routine to De-Stress After a Long Day

There’s nothing quite like stepping into a warm bath or shower after a long, exhausting day. Whether you’ve been in meetings, running errands, or just feeling the weight of the world, a calming bath routine can work wonders for your mind and body. But what if your bath time could also support the planet?

At Plastic Free Pursuit, we believe self-care should be simple, luxurious, and sustainable. Our bath and body essentials are not only designed to help you relax—they’re also thoughtfully crafted with eco-friendly ingredients and zero-waste packaging.

Here’s your perfect 5-step bath routine to de-stress, featuring our favorite products that care for you and the Earth.

🛁 Step 1: Set the Mood with Eucalyptus Steam® Vapors

Start your unwind ritual before the water even runs. The Eucalyptus Steam® Cleansing Vapors for the Shower® (Mini Jar) by No Tox Life turns your bathroom into a mini spa. Just place a few pieces on the floor of your shower (or in a bowl in the corner of your tub) and let the steam release their calming, menthol-rich vapors.

These all-natural vapors are infused with eucalyptus and peppermint essential oils, which help open up sinuses, relieve tension, and calm your nervous system.

🌿 Eco Tip: A little goes a long way. Close the door to trap the steam and maximize the effect.

🧼 Step 2: Exfoliate with the Agave Woven Soap Bag

Skip the plastic loofahs and opt for the Agave Woven Soap Bag, a natural exfoliating tool made from agave fiber. Simply insert your favorite bar soap into the pouch and lather up. It gently removes dead skin, stimulates circulation, and turns every shower into a zero-waste scrub session.

Pair it with your go-to bar soap (we’ve got a great recommendation in Step 3) to cleanse and exfoliate in one step.

🌿 Bonus: This soap saver also helps extend the life of your soap, making it both eco-friendly and budget-friendly.

🌲 Step 3: Cleanse with Coastal Pine Bar Soap

For a deeply refreshing and grounding cleanse, try the Coastal Pine Bar Soap. With its invigorating scent of pine, citrus, and earthy wood, this bar brings the calming essence of the forest right into your bath.

It’s made with natural oils and botanicals that gently cleanse without stripping your skin. The aromatherapy benefits of pine can reduce stress, clear the mind, and give you that “deep breath in the woods” feeling—all without ever leaving home.

🌿 Why We Love It: No synthetic fragrances, no plastic wrap, just pure nature and peace in every lather.

🧽 Step 4: Refresh with a Natural Loofah Sponge

Once your skin is cleansed, take your exfoliation a step further with the Loofah Sponge. Unlike synthetic sponges, this one is made from the dried fruit of the loofah plant, making it fully compostable and biodegradable.

Use it to gently scrub away dead skin and reveal a smoother, softer texture. It’s especially helpful for areas like elbows, knees, and feet that need a little extra love.

🌿 Eco Tip: Hang it to dry between uses to extend its lifespan and avoid mildew.

🌹 Step 5: Lock in Moisture with Rose Petal Jasmine Body Lotion

Finish your bath ritual by pampering your skin with the Rose Petal Jasmine Body Lotion. This luxurious lotion is 100% natural, vegan, and organic, offering deep hydration without any toxins or synthetic fragrances.

Infused with rose petal and jasmine oils, this body lotion not only moisturizes but also helps calm your mind and promote emotional well-being. The floral scent is light and soothing—perfect for winding down before bed.

🌿 Why We Love It: No parabens, no silicones, no guilt—just soft, glowing skin and a peaceful end to your day.
