Sure, you have a big-girl job and other big-girl responsibilities, but that doesn't mean your days of making a splash (ahem, at least in the privacy of your own big-girl bathroom) have to be over. Before you settle into another suds-free snooze fest, read on for water-friendly beauty products and accessories that prove you can still have some serious fun in the tub.

Break the Mold

Break the Mold

Remember Play-Doh? These tubes of “Fun” from Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics ($7) — that’s literally what they’re called — boast all the joy of molding clay without all the mess. In fact, they only serve to leave you feeling cleaner. Just break off a piece of your favorite color (there are five to choose from), and add it to your loofah for an energizing scrub down. You can also add some to the tub for a softening, colorful soak.

Fun Bonus: If you share a shower with your guy, surprise him by leaving a mold intact (maybe a heart or his favorite animal?) for him to discover when you get out.

Grab a Scoop

Grab a Scoop

If you have a sweet tooth, you can curb those cravings while still treating yourself with a scoop of Me! Bath Mini Bath Ice Cream ($10). Unlike regular ice cream, you'll look forward to each of these fierce fizz balls melting away as organic minerals and oils soften your skin.

Fun Bonus: If you can’t decide on just one flavor (er, scent?), make it a double with one scoop of pomegranate (shown) and one of another (the brand also offers mint).

Just Add Foam

Just Add Foam

Better yet, make it a foam party with Mr. Bubble Foam Soap ($4). The soft, squeezable formula is gentle enough for a smoothing scrub down but solid enough for bringing your imagination — even if for a short while — to life.

Fun Bonus: Invite your guy to join and turn it into a party for two with this set (one pink; one blue).

"Pore" Yourself One

"Pore" Yourself One

If you had a long day, run yourself a bath and unwind with this Tony Moly Face Mask Sheet ($8). In addition to jasmine and green tea, it’s formulated with red wine extract for tightening skin and reducing the appearance of large pores — all in a matter of 20 minutes.

Brighten Up

Brighten Up

If your hair is needing some TLC, try Davines Alchemic Tinted Conditioner ($29), available in copper, chocolate, golden, tobacco, and silver. Just apply a generous amount to damp, clean hair, leave in for five to eight minutes, comb, and rinse.

Use the Buddy System

Use the Buddy System

This time, we’re not referring to your significant other. In fact, the tagline of this Buddy Scrub ($16) is "your friend with benefits," so we’re guessing you won’t need one. Just slough the sea-salt-and-sugar concoction (also infused with coconut oil and vitamin E for added moisture) onto your body, and wash away to reveal rejuvenated skin.

Turn It On

Turn It On

Time to cue the power tools! This beloved Clarisonic Cleansing System Mia 3 ($199) makes washing away impurities enjoyable (and efficient). We especially like this model for its three speeds and superflirty pattern.

Fun Bonus: If you don’t want the fun to end with your face, you can also invest in a full-body brush.

Stay Cool

Stay Cool

Reduce puffiness — and look chic doing it — with the Sephora Collection Glitter and Chill Cooling Mask ($12). It’s designed to be reminiscent of your favorite sunglasses and features an adjustable Velcro strap for added comfort and a custom fit.

Tequila!

Tequila!

If all else (including your wine mask) fails, try pouring yourself a full-body cocktail. This Philosophy Señorita Margarita Shampoo, Shower Gel, and Bubble Bath ($18) has a zesty lime scent that will take you (and your problems) away to Margaritaville. It even features a recipe on the bottle.

Pump Up the Volume

Pump Up the Volume

Whether getting ready for work or a night out with the girls, there’s nothing like a little music to give you an instant pick-me-up. Just suction this Abco Tech Water Resistant Wireless Bluetooth Shower Speaker ($40) to the wall and your favorite song will never be more than an arm's length away.
