How To Enjoy The Ultimate Relaxing Bath
Baths are great stressbusters that can also help to relieve pain. A bath on its own can be relaxing, but there could be ways of making it even more therapeutic. Here are just a few ways to enjoy the ultimate relaxing bath.
Add some bath products
Products such as bubble bath, bath oils and bath bombs can all help to make a bath more relaxing. Many of these products contain ingredients that are great for the skin as well as helping to produce aromatic scents. There are also products like Epsom Salts, which can help to relax muscles and relieve joint pain.
Light some candles
Dimming the lights and putting some candles around could also help to make your bath more tranquil. There are many sites online where you can browse for luxury British soy candles & wax melts – many of these candles and wax melts are scented. This could provide the perfect atmosphere for lying back and meditating as you bathe.
Put on some music
Putting on some relaxing music could help to further relax you. Like taking a bath, music is a proven stress-buster that release endorphins into the body. UK bathrooms don’t have electric sockets – so you’ll likely want to buy a portable speaker if you haven’t got one.
Enjoy a drink/some snacks
You could also stimulate the tastebuds as you bathe. Relaxing drinks could include a glass of wine or a herbal tea such as chamomile or ginger. As for bathtime snacks, you could consider some cheese and biscuits, some chocolates or some nuts. A bath caddy tray could be worth buying for placing this food and drink on. Ideally, you want to avoid anything too fiddly or messy.
Read a book
Reading a book can also be a relaxing activity for many people. Of course, reading in the bath can be precarious – a paperback could get soggy pages or fall into the bath if you’re not careful. An e-reader with a water-proof cover could be an option for making reading in the bath easier (a bath caddy tray could similarly be useful for propping your book on). You could also try audiobooks.
Splash out on some fluffy towels/a bathrobe
A fluffy towel and bathrobe could be worth having by your tub for when you’ve finished. This will allow you to continue feeling snug and relaxed when you’ve got out of your bath. If you’ve got a radiator or heated towel rack, consider putting these on to help warm them up. If you want to splash out more, check out the range at Bath Shack.
