We have all taken baths before. You just fill up the tub with water, climb in, grab your soap, and that is basically it right? Well not necessarily.
Don’t settle for an average bath! Create the perfect bath for your needs and treat yourself to the wonderful spa experience you deserve.
Here are just a few of the secrets to unlocking the full potential of bathtime.
Secret 1: Transform your home into a spa experience
If you could, you would probably go to the spa once a week to take care of your skin and nurture your body. For most of us, this is a distant dream. That’s why you should create your own wonderful spa experience right in your own bathtub.
Buy some high-quality bath salts, great-smelling essential oils, and your very own mud mask with or with sliced cucumbers, and soak all your troubles away.
Secret 2: Use the right ingredients
It is true! High-quality natural bath salts and essential oils can take years off your appearance and improve your physical and mental health.
Do you have a cold? A problem with acne? Feeling stressed? There are so many types of bath salts and oils with different benefits.
Think about what you want to get out of your bathing experience and find products that will best benefit you.
At Better Bath Better Body, we have a wide selection of essential oil-infused bath salts. One of them is our lavender-infused Deep Relaxation Bath Soak.
Secret 3: Atmosphere is key
Before you hop into the bathtub, make sure that the room lighting is soft and low. Either dim the lights or place candles in a safe place in the bathroom.
Normal bathroom lighting is simply too harsh for you to be able to enjoy your experience, but you don’t want to bathe in the dark either. Bring a portable music player and play soothing music or sounds that will transform your bathroom into a tranquil oasis.
Secret 4: Keep the curtain closed
After you have stepped into the bath, either partially or completely close the shower curtain or door. Not only will this help to seal in the heat, but it will also keep in all that great and fragrant steam.
The steam helps to open up the pores in your skin and allows you to keep a youthful and healthy glow.
Secret 5: Make sure you won’t be interrupted
Whether you have children to worry about or just have roommates who like to pop in and out, make sure you have the time needed to fully enjoy yourself.
If you have children, wait until they are sleeping, or have your partner watch over them for the next half hour. For anyone else, make sure they know not to bother you for the next few minutes or so.
Secret 6: Not so fast, keep soaking!
After 10 minutes or so of soaking, you may be tempted to hop out of the bathtub and go back to other activities. Instead, lie back and stay in there for at least another 10 minutes.
The bath salts and essential oils need to have time to work their magic.
Secret 7: End your bath off the right way
After you have soaked up all those wonderful benefits, make sure to end things off the right way with a nice fluffy bathrobe or some comfy pajamas to slip into.
Bathrobes can be especially good for this because they work as both a towel and a soft sensation for the skin.
