A comforting bath detoxifies, relaxes muscles, restores the body and pampers the skin as you soak. And with a few extra steps, an otherwise average bath becomes a spa treatment tailored to the needs of your body, mind and spirit. Here’s my bath ritual straight from the pages of my new book: Fresh & Pure, Organically Crafted Beauty Balms & Cleansers.
Set the mood by softening the lights and playing soft meditative music.
Surround yourself with things of beauty that may help you relax such as fresh flowers, energizing crystals and soft candles.
While your bath fills with warm water, exfoliate using a dry brush, to detoxify and sooth while stimulating your blood flow.
Slowly slip into the bath allowing your body to adjust to the temperature. Try to soak for at least 15-20 minutes.
Keep a glass of water and an aromatic spray close by. A few mists onto the face and shoulders makes for a lovely mid-bath refresher.
Relax and let go of your thoughts and cares. Be present and enjoy the moment.
While exiting the bath, take a moment to ground yourself. Feel both feet rooted firmly on the ground. Take a few deep breaths and splash cool water on your face. Rehydrate with a glass of water.
Nourish your skin with a body oil. Slather it on and take time to connect with your body as you nurture your skin. Pay extra attention to the places that need it most.
