It is not clear why the date of January 8 is set today as the bubble bath, but there is no doubt that on such a cold day, at the height of winter, there is nothing like making a warm and pleasant bath, full of foam of fragrant soap bubbles.
The bubbles on the water (also known as bath foam) insulate the bath water and keep it warm for a longer period of time.
If you want to complete the atmosphere, quiet music and beautiful candles will make the room a magical and relaxing place, which will make you forget all the hardships of the day and give you perfect quality time with yourself.

The soap bubbles in the bath have other advantages: they cleanse the body, they sometimes contain moisturizer and the foam layer also hides you in the bath in case you want to take a selfie and show off.
In the US the leading brand of bath foam is Mr. Bubble which has been around since 1961.
How to celebrate Bubble Bath Day?
Fill a tub with warm water, pour bath foam, go in and lie down for fun. You can read a book or listen to music while taking a bath. If you do not have a bath foam, you can pour shampoo and mix with water.
