The Ultimate Relaxing Bath

Who doesn’t love a great bath? And a relaxing bath at that. The best temperature for your relaxing bath should be 100 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the temperature that has been shown to relax and un-tighten the muscles. This is also the temperature at which your brain stimulates calming chemicals. And of course, adding natural essential oils, such as lavender or patchouli will aid in the relaxation process.

Before you get into the bath, gently exfoliate so your skin can more quickly reap the benefits of the calming essential oils. Make sure your turn the lights down low, and light a calming scented soy candle. Enjoy your relaxing bath, but don’t stay in the tub for more than 20 or 30 minutes, as you may just get too relaxed and drift off to sleep… which you do not want to do in the tub. After about 20 minutes, I like to get out of the tub, slather on some moisturizing lotion, slip into some comfy jammies and get right into bed.

Enjoy!
