The benefits of a bath


A long soak in the bath is a terrific way to make you look and feel fantastic.

A half hour soak once or twice a week can work wonders for both the body and the mind.

The perfect bath comprises the following key elements:

Environment - We can't all be lucky enough to have a luxurious bathroom but we can all have one that's tidy, uncluttered and distraction free.

Temperature - Bath water should be warm but never too hot. The goal is relaxation not stimulation.

Mood - Light candles or listen to soothing music to further increase the feeling of relaxation.

Oils, salts and bubbles - Use aromatic bath products to intensify the experience and to pamper your soaking body.
