Now that you have taken a look at the products, here's how you can pick the one for you!

a) Formula- Take a closer look at the formulation and whether it suits your skin type. If you have dry skin, pick a bath salt or bath gel, that won't strip away the moisture from the skin. Similarly, for sensitive skin people, pick a formula that is free of harsh ingredients like parabens, phthalates, dyes, and formaldehyde. 

b) Consistency- It is better not to pick too runny consistency which will be harder to apply to your skin during a shower. Similarly, a way too-thick formula might leave a greasy residue and clog the pores, which is a big no-no for oily and acne-prone skin.

c) Purpose- Since there are so many bath products available in the market — you should decide your purpose first! If it is cleansing, go for shower gel or cleansing foam. If it is exfoliating, go for salt scrubs or brushes to buff away dead cells. If it is more hydration, a bath oil would help to retain the moisture!
