Any bath oil can also be a big problem in the drain. It tends to clog drains. I would recommend running very hot water through the pipes as soon as you are out of the tub so the oil is flushed through the system.
If you think you need more help, try a hefty squeeze of a decent dish detergent and let it sit in the drain over night, then pour a bunch of hot water down the drain.... will help for sure. Do this one first and wait a day or so to use the vinegar and baking soda and only if you don't have a major problem.
