Are Bubble Baths and Beach Babes Compatible?

I am sure when you came across this title, you may have thought what? What does bubble baths and being a beach babe have to do with each other? .. and it’s not just the water! Read on and I’ll tell you more!

 

Summer is fast approaching, and there’s many girls are trying to get their bodies as well as their skin in tip top shape. They also want to feel sexier, and smell good because those are two more things that come to mind when one thinks of warm weather. At least I’ve been told! Although I love my dresses, pretty nails and glitter, in a lot of other ways, I’m a typical tomboy!

 

But, that wont stop me from helping out those of you who are looking some “beach ready” tips!

 

One thing that many may be using in their  quest for great skin, great smell and to feel sexier is bubble bath.  However if you want to rock a sexy swimsuit or hot bikini this summer, you might want to think twice about pouring [commercially made] bubble bath in your tub. Why? Because if the person or company making the bubble bath isn’t diligent, those  lovely scents and bursting bubbles can give you oh so not beach friendly yeast infections. Yes you heard right! Yeast infections!

 

How you ask?

Well one way that (poorly made) bubble baths cause yeast infections is that they irritate the delicate and sensitive vaginal tissues and the irritation is a perfect breeding ground for a fresh yeast infection.

Secondly, bubble baths can raise the amount of moisture that’s in the vaginal canal, which in turn causes yeast to breed to the point of a yeast infection.

 

Thirdly, you know that lovely scent that makes you feel like you are on a tropical island or other pretty idea? If the bubble bath fragrance isn’t natural, paraben free, or skin safe, it is likely to be poorly made, chemical laden fragrance that can make changes in your flora, and cause an infection.

Sodium lauryl sulfate, the stuff that makes the big pretty bubbles is another beach bummer chemical. 

I’ve actually written about SLS several times and for good reason. This chemical is known to further exacerbate the problem, and make the yeast infection harder to treat. But here is the kicker, these ingredients can cause CHRONIC (read long lasting hard to treat) yeast infections.
As you can see there is NOTHING sexy about commercially made bubble baths.  If you love a good soak in the tub as much as I do, stick with bath goodies that are made by someone who is highly knowledge AND cares about YOU more than making a quick buck. I make a 100 percent bikini and swimsuit friendly bubble bath that is free of all the nasty chemicals that can make you feel oh so less than sexy this season! The only kicker is that it will only be available as a made-to-order item soon! Pick it up before the limited amount of jars I do have made sell out! Here’s the link.

 

(pst, if they ARE sold out, check out the made-to-order section to order or contact me!)
