Getting slippery in the bath tub is not everyone’s cup of tea. For some, it is the epitome of self care, with a regular slot in the weekly – or even daily – routine. For others, it’s a hot, boring task that causes unwanted hair frizz – but it doesn’t have to be. Think of it as a time out to actually work on yourself. Here are some of our top tips to help perfect your bath (every) time.
Soak and scrub
Forget bubbles. Use your bath to soak and remove an invigorating scrub such as this one from The Base Body Co, available on our online store. It’s 100% natural and Vegan, removing the toxins from everyday pollution.
Listen and learn
Music can be a great way to relax, but if you’re in need of some stimulation, why not turn to a podcast? We’ve picked out On She Goes: ‘Inspiring women of colour to travel confidently, adventurously, more often.’
Face mask it up
Bath time’s lifelong lover, no words are needed for a face mask. Guy Morgan Apothecary is available on our store, hydrating and protecting the skin using organic powdered Marshmallow root.
Create your safe space
Surround your tub with home comforts – candles and plants are a staple.
Turn a few pages
The bath is a great place to get ahead with a book.
Work on your goals
If you find it difficult to concentrate on meditation, try focusing the mind when laying in the bath to fully embrace your relaxed state.
