Patricia's Pick: Spa Body Wrap in Your Own Bathtub

Soft Skin in Your Own Bathtub

There's something about a dip in the ocean that brings on a buoyant grin. Maybe it has to do with the hydrating and revitalizing benefits of bathing in seawater. Until now, bringing these rich waters, plants, and muds to your own bathtub has been possible only via pricey spa products. That's all about to change with AquaTanica Spa, a collection of treatments formulated with ingredients from Brittany, now available exclusively at Bath & Body Works. My favorite is the Fine Mineral Body Wrap, $22, a mud that returns essential minerals and other hydrating ingredients to my skin. I slather it on, let it set for a few minutes and rinse it off in the shower or in the tub -- happily, it works in both!
