Our Ultimate Bath Guide

Steps

1. 1
   You may want to take a shower beforehand, so you do not feel like you are bathing in dirt.
2. 2
   Make sure your bathroom is clean and warm, so that you feel comfortable when you bathe.
3. 3
   Perhaps plan a themed bath, have a sleep inducing bath-all lavender products. Try to avoid artificial perfumes and fragrances as they do not provide the same relaxing qualities as do pure essential oils and can also cause irritation.
4. 4
   Make sure that the bath is not too hot, yet not too cold.If too hot, it may cause dizziness, yet too cold it will be uncomfortable and you might get sick.
5. 5
   Collect together some of your fluffy towels, preferably 100% cotton, something to wear when you get out of the bath, and arrange some candles in the bathroom for a soft relaxing light and a nice comfortable glow. (avoid scented candles and be sure to place the candles in a place that will not start a fire, so you won't have to worry during your relaxation time.) Have the towels and body wear placed within easy reach.
6. 6
   Use an inflatable bath pillow to rest your neck while you are bathing. You can normally find them in any bath/bed/linen shop. If the pillow does not stick, just use a cotton bath towel, all folded up. That will work too.
7. 7
   Find some of your favorite music to play, but make sure no electrical devices like radios are close enough they could fall into the tub.
8. 8
   Prepare your favorite food or beverage and place it within easy reach, but far enough away that it will not fall in the bathtub.
9. 9
   Add about 8 drops of your favorite essential oil. Lavender oil is well known for its sleep inducing qualities and rose oil has a lovely sweet relaxing fragrance. Geranium is another comforting fragrance and vanilla is always a good idea too and it is cheap and relaxing.
   • Optional: Then, tip in 2 cup of bath salts. Also consider adding 1-2 cups of Epsom salt, as it will help prevent pruning of fingers and toes, and heel bruises, during long soaks.
10. 10
    Tie up your hair (if it is long).
11. 11
    Carefully climb into the bath, and relax in the warm water. Cotton pads soaked in ice cold water can be placed over the eyes while you rest, to remove puffiness, or chilled slices of cucumber.
12. 12
    If you want to, wet your face and apply a facial mask, then lie back and relax for as long as you want. Remember to wash the mask off thoroughly and cleanse.
13. 13
    When you have finished relaxing, use a 100% cotton flannel to wash yourself all over.
14. 14
    When you decide to get out of the bath, blot yourself dry, and finish by applying body lotion or moisturizer. Cocoa butter is affordable, widely available and is very nourishing.
15. 15
    Afterward keep relaxing and pour yourself a warm cup of tea, or if tea isn't for you, a hot drink that has no caffeine in it would be great.
16. 16
    Hop into bed for an early night, or just read a book or watch a film.. anything relaxing!

Tips

• If you cannot get essential oils, try using a bubble bath,which are widely available in all price ranges. Many of these have moisturizing or relaxing properties.
• If you enjoy a glass of wine take one into the bathroom with you, as it can help you relax.
• Try putting crystals in your bath water to make the most of their properties- rose quartz, for example, helps create a warm, loved feeling.
• Make a bath pillow by taking a small pillow and putting a kitchen trash bag over it to keep it dry. Place it inside a regular pillowcase.
• Using deep breathing techniques in the bath can help relax the body. To make sure you are breathing deeply place one hand on your chest and one on your stomach. Breathe in slowly through your nose for the count of five, then out through your mouth. If you are breathing effectively, the hand on your chest should not move.
• Treat yourself to a face mask to make your bath extra special.
• You may want to play some music or light some candles to add to the calming atmosphere.
• Try doing this on a Friday or Saturday when you are most likely to be relaxed. Alternately, do it on a tensed day to relax more.
• Try to use a bath tub with sufficient lighting over it, like a whirlpool. Don't draw the curtains. Adding in light will relax you more.
• As well as soft fluffy towels, having PJs, slippers or a warm robe ready for when you hop out the bath saves you the trouble of trying to find clothes just when you're relaxed.
• Try to bathe at night after all your work is completed so you can relax better and be able to sleep.
• If you don't have any bubble bath material try using shampoo but not to much. Inexpensive hair conditioner and baby oil also works well, but make sure you spray down the tub with Windex thereafter to avoid slipping accidents in the future.
• Epsom salt is extremely inexpensive and a terrific aid for soothing sore muscles.
• Playing relaxing music while you soak is a great way to help your bath feel even more spa-like.
• Take a quick shower beforehand so that you don't feel like you're soaking in dirty water.
• Baby lotion helps too.

Warnings

• If you are very relaxed or tired you may get sleepy in the bath. Make sure you get out of the bath if you feel drowsy so there is no risk you will fall asleep.
• For some reason, if you are afraid that you might fall asleep or drown in the bath, set a timer for 20 minutes or so or ask another person in the house to knock on the door every 10 minutes or so.
• If you use oils in your bath be careful as it may make the bath tub slippery.
• Never take electrical equipment into the bathroom, unless you keep it FAR away from the tub in a dry place, perhaps on a shelf or something similar.
• Very hot water can cause dizziness particularly if you have low or high blood pressure.
• Cozy baths can become addicting, beware!
• Try not to take too long in the bathroom if you have a roommate or other people sharing the same bathroom as you. Bathroom hogging is very irritating. A simple agreement with them on how long you will be in there could also be effective.
• If you are under 13 years of age, ask your for your parents' permission before lighting candles. Make sure you are very careful and under supervision. Even older teenagers can sometimes make a mistake!
• If you want to drink some wine remember not to go over and get drunk.
• Never lock the door of your bathroom if you are going to take a bath, in case you slip and need help. Besides, a "Do Not Disturb" sign can be very effective.
• If you don't have a pillow made to get wet then make sure that you double or even triple the bags around your pillow you're taking into the bath with you, so that you don't ruin it.
• Women should be cautious of bath salts, oils, and other "bath water additives" - some of these can contain ingredients that do not get along well with all females and could cause rashes, infections, or other illnesses. Urinary Tract Infections and other vaginal infections are extremely common among frequent bathers, due to the stagnant water, and chemicals that are in the bath soaps you are soaking in.
• If you choose to use oils, soaps, etc. in the bath water, test a small amount the first time bathing with the soaps, as adding too much could result in a vaginal infection.
• Don't spend too long in the bath, wrinkles on your hands and feet can occasionally get itchy.
• Don't let these extreme warnings stop you from enjoying yourself, in this stressful world, we all need some alone time at least once a week.
• If you have a tub with jets, make sure to only add A LITTLE bubble bath because the jets will make the bubbles multiply rapidly!
