If you need to immerse yourself in a relaxing bath after a hard day at work, read this article to find out what to do to make it as effective as a spa.
Steps
Step 1. Think about the last time you took a bath all to yourself, to relax by soaking and taking away the stress of the day
Step 2. Take some time for yourself
Make sure you do all the household chores and duties before you relax. Free your mind, body and spirit for a while from worries and thoughts and leave them far away.
Step 3. Prepare a special bath
Turn off the phone, pour a glass of wine, choose a magazine, turn off the bathroom lights and light a candle (scented ones are great); prepare a hot bath by adding oil or a soap that creates bubbles. The choice of aromatherapy products today is of an impressive vastness. There are countless excellent bathroom products on the market and it wouldn't be a bad idea to invest in some of these!
Step 4. Immerse yourself in the tub and let all your tensions dissolve in the water which you will then eliminate
Step 5. Relax
Let your worries melt in the water. Focus on happy thoughts of sun-kissed beaches and starry skies and let problems with children, work and money evaporate with the steam. Open your mind, meditate and just enjoy the bath!
Step 6. Try taking a shower first, so you are clean when you step into the tub and don't soak in your own dirt for long
Step 7. Make a list of relaxing songs to listen to while taking a bath
Step 8. A face mask and a good book are also essential for a good bath
Be creative and make the mask yourself by mixing banana puree, 1 tablespoon of honey and 5 tablespoons of oats. You can also get a ready-made one at the supermarket for a reasonable price.
Step 9. Have a good bath
Advice
- Take it easy!
- Prepare the face mask to really feel like you are in a spa!
- Prepare a glass of your favorite drink and take the opportunity to sip it while you're in the tub.
- Put on a shower cap if you don't want to get your hair wet.
Warnings
- If you like to listen to the radio, cassettes or CDs while in the bath, be sure to put all kinds of electronic devices away, so they can't fall into the water.
- Keep the candle at a safe distance from where you can check it.
- Don't drink too much wine when in the tub! Both to avoid the risk of overturning it, and not to get drunk. At the same time, you may also get painful cramps from drinking alcohol when you are in hot water.
- Meditating in a bath could be risky, sit down so you don't drown, or tell other people about where you are and what you are doing, as well as not wanting to be disturbed.
- Do not stay in the water for too long, as this may promote premature skin aging.
