When you wake up after a long, busy day, especially on a cold winter night, soaking in the tub is the perfect way to relax. You’re instantly calm when you add bubbles, candles, and a glass of pinot noir. There are also bath-time benefits to be had. Joel Schlessinger, M.D., board-certified dermatologist, and RealSelf advisor, says that bathing can help promote better circulation, relax muscles, encourage mindfulness, and even help break up congestion from allergies and common colds. Who knew?
In fact, taking a bath more often is likely to help soothe your skin and relax your tense muscles. It is possible to have “me time” and get away from the chaos and worries of the world by taking a bath. Take a bubble bath today, and try these ten ultimate steps to make it the most relaxing one yet.
Declutter And Clean Up
The bath is a challenging place to relieve anxiety and stress while being surrounded by dirt and clutter. Prepare your bath by taking a few minutes to straighten up, clean the tub, wipe down countertops, remove any clutter, shake out your bath mat, and sweep the floor quickly.
Get Organized
It won’t be a good idea to grab something you forgot after you’ve finished the bath. You should get yourself a bathtub caddy or lucrative bathtub trays that is wide enough to fit over your bathtub and keep all your bubbly essentials close at hand or your favorite book and wine. The tray can be set up before you even start running the water, so by the time you get to the pool, you’re ready to relax.
Bath Ingredients
Choosing the right bath soap that will satisfy both your fragrance and your bubbliness is the most important thing. There are many options for adding to your luxury bathtub experience, including bath soap, bath bombs, and even soothing bath oils. The fizz of the bubbles working away makes bath bombs a deeply satisfying experience. When you use bath oils with calming aromas, you can avoid headaches and keep your stress at bay.
Find The Right Bath Temperature
In the meantime, if you’re in the bath for relaxation, you should simply set the water temperature according to your body’s needs. If you were caught in the rain without an umbrella, your clothes are soaked through and you are so cold that you can feel it in your bones when you get home. If that were the case, you might opt for a warm bath. If, for example, you live in a house without air conditioning, and during a heatwave, the only thing you can do to relieve yourself is to sit in a lukewarm bath, drink a cold beer, and read a book while you wait for the air conditioning to come on. All bath products are different, but the key is to choose the right one.
Don’t Forget Something for Your Head
You should invest in headrests or bath pillows to give your tub a spa-like experience. They will help you relax and lean back more comfortably. Basically, it’s a pillow that sits on top of the tub and allows you to lean on it. You can choose from a variety of sizes and shapes, so whether you have a ledge on the back or it goes straight into the wall, you’ll find one that suits your needs.
Relaxing Music And Light Some Candles
Overhead lighting is not a good idea for bath time because it is all about setting up a scene. There are some great relaxing Spotify songs. You should try to find something relaxing, calm, and positive, but don’t be afraid to experiment. It would be a good idea to light a few tealights and maybe a few scented candles to give myself a nice, warm glow. Turn off the bathroom lights after you have done this. You cannot create a spa-like experience unless you create one!
Scrub Away All Your Worries
Your favorite exfoliator should be pulled out after you’ve given yourself a good soak (about 20 minutes). After you’ve bathed, you’ll be super relaxed, and your skin will be glowing as well.
Your Time In The Tub
Now you only have to climb into the heavenly waters and breathe in the warm air of the heavenly realm. It is best to relax your muscles and mind for 15 to 30 minutes at a time. It’s not necessary to stay in for longer, but you should keep in mind that it may dry out your skin if you do so.
Wrap Up In Softness
Your pores will have opened up during your bath, so you should give yourself a cool rinse with cold water, especially on your face. Immediately after you’ve finished wrapping yourself in a super soft bathrobe, moisturize your body from head to toe and then you’ll feel completely refreshed and rejuvenated.
Relaxed And Revived
A relaxing and beautiful warm bath after a long working week is always a good way to relieve stress and relax. The right bath essentials, soothing music, and bathroom decor can truly take you away from your troubles and worries for a short period of time, even if it’s for a few minutes.
