It’s a time to retreat and retrieve and instead of focusing on the external and keeping ourselves busy all the time, the focus should shift on the inner self. Now, because we spend so much time at home, we should take advantage and get more rest, rediscover who we truly are and spend more time doing things that we love. Indulging some self-care can go a long way and one of the best methods is taking a long hot bath.
So, here are 5 steps to create the perfect spa bath at home:
1. Declutter and clean-up
Before preparing your bath, take a few minutes to remove the clutter, clean the tub and wipe the floors. The Marie Kondo method will help you get the zen vibes you need.
2. Be organized
A nice tip to help you have everything in handy is getting a bathtub caddy or a trail that lays across the bathtub. Get everything ready before you jump in!
3. Add some magic
If you want to feel like in a real spa, add elements that will enchant your senses like bath bombs, flavored candles, some essential oils and even a hydrating sheet mask. For a dose of extra magic add some flowers and fruits in the bathtub!
4. Pamper your senses
Chocolate and wine during the most relaxing bath? Yes, please. That and your favorite relaxing playlist playing in the background create the perfect atmosphere. Plants are a plus in the bathroom, being not only visually satisfying, but also improving the quality of the air.
5. Get cozy
The post-bath routine is also important for the relaxation to be effective. Exfoliation and moisturizing is highly important and then hydrating with a glass of cold water with lemon. Get cozy in your favorite bath robe and get ready for sleep!
