Bathing is an intimate moment that we often use to relax and reflect about life. With a view to how to make this moment even more pleasant, we have listed some tips.

Use bath salts!

In the bathtub: if you have a bathtub at home, take a day off to relax with a nice soundtrack or a book that you love.  

What you'll need: only bath salts and hot water.

If you have whirlpool jets in your tub, you can use them to help relax your body with the water.

In the shower: you can enjoy a relaxing shower if you don't have a bathtub at home. You can hang a medley of bath salts from your shower head and relax while the aromas fill the room.

What you'll need: a medley of bath salts and a piece of tulle. To use it, just wrap the tulle with the bath salts around your shower head as if it were a shower cap. The water will filter through the bath salts and your shower will be much more pleasant!

Foot spa: before or after your bath or shower, you can take a moment to get your feet up and rested, ready for the next day. 

What you'll need: add your preferred bath salts to a basin with warm water. You can add some stones or a massage bar to the bottom of the basin if you like, or simply soak your feet for 20 minutes.

Exfoliating: exfoliating is common practice in spas for a reason! This texturized massage helps to refresh the skin and release the muscles a little more than a regular bath. 

What you'll need: before getting in the bath, mix your favorite bath salts with your moisturizer and apply to your body with circular movements. Then rinse it and enjoy the sensations of a relaxed body!

If you're unsure about investing in a new type of bath salt, how about making one at home and see how you feel? It's easy:

Ingredients:

- 1 cup Epsom salts

- 1/4 cup baking soda

- 2 tsp. almond oil

- essential oil of ginger

- essential oil of rosemary

Method:

Combine the Epsom salts, baking soda and almond oil in a small bowl. Add a few drops of each essential oil and store in a sealed container.

How to use: all you need to do is add some spoonfuls to your bath or rub a little of the mixture on your body at the end of the bath! 

Enjoy the aromas and sensations of the oils and the salt on your body. The ginger has a refreshing effect and the rosemary helps to relax and calm you.

How about playing some music? Take your favorite playlist and connect your phone or a speaker on a low volume to get the soundtrack going. Our tip is to give preference to acoustic or slow versions with the piano as a highlight as they are usually smoother and can help you relax in the bath or shower.
