Cheer yourself up with a LUSH Halloween bath bomb
Popping candy, cinnamon rolls and toffee apples – they're the scent of hibernation season. And if there's anywhere that does cosy autumn scents well, it's LUSH. With us spending more times in our homes, our bathrooms have stepped up as the room to escape to, which means our bath and body products, reallyyyy need to bring it. And we can start by thawing out in the tub with a fizzing bath bomb as we brace ourselves for Jack-O-Lanterns and bonfire festivities.
Forest bathing from your bathroom 🛁
This season calls for little pick-me-up mood boosters wherever we can get them. Combine the nostalgic scent and the adorable shape of a novelty ghost soap bar and you can pretty much guarantee a a better bath time. So pimp your bath with a bubble bar, lather yourself up with the lemon and fig scented Very Very Frightening shower gel, the spicy Boo shower slime or the lip smoothing Toffee Apple sugar scrub – it might be exactly the trick or treat you need.
Since things are a little different this year, and we've spent a lot less time strolling into stores, we thought we'd bring the haul to you with a round-up of the best LUSH Halloween goodies to eye up for Autumn...
