Why is tub bathing better than taking a shower?

What is a foot soak? What are the benefits?
Not all of us find time & ways to always enjoy a long tub bath. But, immersing your feet in a tub of warm water is a nice way to relax after a long day. A foot soak soothes your muscles, hydrates your skin, and can relieve aches and pains due to standing for hours or walking in uncomfortable shoes. Letting your feet sit in their own bath can help reduce swelling and prevent bacteria from settling into cuts or under-toe nails. And while a little rough skin helps protect our feet, if you’re prone to developing thick calluses, softening them in a soak makes them easier to exfoliate. This is the reason why most pedicures begin by submerging your feet into warm water.
