Spa: Bath & Shower
Cleaning ourselves has become part of a routine instead of a special time for contemplation. A sweetly scented shower or bath with essential oils and spa salt can be
very soothing to the skin, relaxing and
improve your
health. A home spa can also improve blood circulation, tone up the skin
elasticity, lower blood pressure and enhance your mood. If you want to take a bath make sure the water temperature is slightly higher than body temperature. The recommended length time would be 20 minutes.
Before, taking a bath or shower it is also recommended that you quickly brush over the skin. This will help to keep the skin fresh, remove dead cells and stimulate blood circulation. Do not over brush the skin. If you are sweaty, oily or dirty, take a quick shower before the bath.
