Who doesn't love a warm, relaxing bath after a long day, or a refreshing yet calming morning bath to prepare you for the action packed day ahead? Bath's are one of the most simple yet soothing things we can do for self care, it is our time to drift away and allow our mind, body and soul to rest.
Here are some tips and products for your best bath ever:
- Prepare the ambiance of the bathroom, light candles or bring in a dim light. Try using a Himalayan Salt Lamp during the bath as it gives off a subtle, calming orange glow that still allows you to see what you're doing. Light some candles around the tub, the Saje Soy Candle in Silence is the perfect addition to your relaxing soak. Put on some soft, soothing music that will help you drift away...
- Don't make the water too hot! At first the idea of a steaming hot bath can seem like a great idea, until you try to get in and your feet start to sizzle and by the time you've fully emerged yourself you've already over heated and the relaxation has turned into "Get me out! I'm too hot!" Keep the water very warm, but not hot. This way you can enjoy the soothing warmth and prolong your bath for longer. (Don't fill the tub all the way, as the water starts to cool, add warm water to balance it again.)
- Add some Aromatherapy into your bath ritual! Add some bath salts, a few drops of pure essential oil or the always fun bath bombs! When using products from Saje, you are not only getting the smell good factor of these products, they are actually using Aromatherapeutic properties to treat the body and soul. Try the Saje Cellucleanse bath soak which is not only designed to soothe and promote deep relaxation, it also helps to detoxify the body and tone up your skin! Yes please!
- Take some time in your bath to give yourself a light scrub or massage. The circulation that you stimulate by doing a light scrub will only intensify your relaxation. Start by your feet and work your way up with soft circular motions. Try the Saje Sunshine Smoothie exfoliating tamarind body scrub for a soothing, softening and hydrating treatment.
- Don't make it complicated! Many of us are always on go, so we try to fit in the face mask, the mini manicure and shaving all in one bath. Slow down... enjoy the simplicity of the warmth and allow yourself to just be. If you like to read in the bath, bring something simple or uplifting, try to avoid anything that may take your mind away from the joy and stillness of the moment.
