One of the most relaxing activities is having a bath – if you have trouble with your sleep, find it hard to switch off from work or feel anxious or stressed, then a bath can really help to calm your body down.
A really luxurious bath is a treat that is a bit of an art form! If you want to make your bath as luxurious and restful as possible, here are some tips to help you…
Firstly, you need to make sure that the environment that you are in is relaxing. Spend some time making sure that your bathroom is looking good. If it is scruffy and messy you aren’t going to be able to relax. As well as giving it a good clean do any jobs that need doing. For example, you may need to replace bathroom sealant if yours is damaged, so use something like this www.ct1.com/product_application/sealing-your-shower-tray-with-bt1-bathroom-sealant
Aromatherapy is another way to make a relaxing and calm environment. Scent can help to soothe us and make us feel comfortable. Look for soothing scents to suit your bath, for example if you are wanting something to help sleep, then choose lavender, or if you are feeling bunged up and under the weather use eucalyptus. For something to lift your spirits choose something zesty like orange. You can use candles for scent and atmosphere as well as essential oils.
It is also important that you get rid of anything that could distract you from relaxing in there – so don’t take your phone or tablet into the bath with you. A book or a puzzle can be soothing, and some relaxing meditation music.
