The folks at Neutrogena recently sent me their collection of Rainbath® Refreshing Shower and Bath Gels. Available in Original, Pear & Green Tea and Grapefruit, the gels create a rich lather without leaving any heavy residue on your skin.
Fun Bath Facts
- In Ancient Rome, citizens bathed daily at the Roman baths, which often included a soak in the caldarium (hot tub), some detoxing in the laconicum (sauna), finished with a refreshing swim in the frigidarium (cold pool)
- Early plumbing systems for bathing go back as far as around 3300 BC with the discovery of copper water pipes beneath a palace in the Indus Valley Civilization of ancient India
- Pedestal Tubs, unlike other clawfoot-style tubs, do not actually have claw feet. The tub rests on a pedestal in what most would term an art deco style. Evidence of pedestal tubs dates back to the Isle of Crete in 1000 BC
- In the latter half of the 20th century, the once popular clawfoot tub morphed into a built-in tub with a small apron front
- The Crane Company introduced colored bathroom fixtures to the US market in 1928
- Up until the late 1940s, many Americans only bathed once a week for personal hygiene

What a fun post! I love Neutrogena Rain bath as well as their bath oil. I didn't know they had the other scents. I'm going to have to look for them. Thanks for the tip!
