"You will have both a bath and coffee ..." - does everyone remember this phrase from the movie "The Diamond Arm"? Taking a bath is always associated with luxury (but a shower - with the speed of everyday life) and with something very desirable.

It's nice to come home in chilly weather, pour yourself a hot bath and enjoy falling into it, forgetting about the rest of the world. Taking a bath can even be compared to SPA therapy, especially if you don’t just lie in the water, but use all sorts of useful tools, which we’ll talk about today.

But first, let's remember the general rules:

The water in the bath should not be too hot (this is a very big burden on the heart), as well as too cold (it is easy to catch a cold), you can take a bath for no more than half an hour.

If you are going to use useful products, ideally you should enter the bath already clean. And after the bath, do not wash off the medicinal products from the body, but simply gently dry the skin with a towel.

As you can see, everything is simple.

KenzoKi Bath Milk Powder, Lavender Bath Foam L"occitane, Caudalie Divine Oil for Body, Face and Hair, Acqua Di Parma Bath and Shower Oil

Now let's talk about the tools that will help you turn bathing into a therapy session. Today there are indeed many of them.

First, this foam is a simple yet amazing product. Foam makes the bath not only beautiful, but also softens the water, which means that the skin dries less. Basking in bubbles of foam is a real pleasure.

Salt is another useful product. It can include a variety of components that can tone, soothe and even reduce weight. Classical salt is packaged in bottles, but now so-called bombs are in fashion, which, when placed in water, quickly dissolve with a funny hiss.

Oils are a very important element of home SPA therapy. It is important to remember that essential oils should be used very carefully (2-3 drops) because they can cause allergies and even burns. But they have wonderful properties (lavender - soothes, orange - tones, eucalyptus helps prevent colds, jasmine and rose awaken sensuality).

But all other oils can be used in any quantity. The simplest folk recipe for those who want to moisturize the skin as much as possible is to use olive oil before taking a bath. Having smeared it, you can lie down in the water. Oil with water will give a double effect of moisturizing.

However, this is a radical recipe - body butter can also be used after a bath - its texture fits perfectly on wet, steamed skin.

There are also oils for hair - their properties do not suffer from high humidity and high temperature in the bathroom.

Well, and, of course, we must not forget about shower gels - because they can not only cleanse the skin, but also moisturize it, stimulate cell renewal and much more.

The result of taking a bath with useful products will be not only a good mood, but also well-groomed skin.

And finally, a few popular recipes:

Salt bath: dissolve in the bath 0.5 kilograms of sea salt. Take 15-20 minutes. Such a bath activates the metabolism and removes excess water from the body.

Milk bath (Cleopatra bath): Pour one or two liters of milk into warm water, add a tablespoon of honey or olive oil (you can do both). Soak in the bath for 20 minutes. It soothes and the skin becomes soft and supple. You can take such baths no more than twice a week.

Bath for the prevention of cellulite: Dilute two drops of orange oil, five drops of juniper oil, one drop of grapefruit and cypress in half a glass of cream or powdered milk solution. Take this bath once or twice a week.

Pine bath: Add 50-70 grams of powdered pine extract, or 100 ml of liquid pine extract to water. Take a bath for 10-15 minutes daily or every other day, 10-15 baths per course of treatment. Such baths help with neurosis, irritability, fatigue, insomnia.

Bath with henna and tea: In a three-liter jar, put three tablespoons of black tea, two tablespoons of henna with a slide. Brew with boiling water. After the mixture is infused (15 minutes), after straining, pour into the bath.

Bay leaf bath: Brew 10-12 leaves with boiling water for 20-30 minutes and add this infusion to the bath. It has a calming effect not only on the state of mind, but also on the skin.

Bath for dry skin: Pour a glass of glycerin into the bath. Take ten minutes. Such a bath should not be taken after being in the sun, and if there are burns on the skin.

“To arrange a resort at home,” many people sigh, exhausted by chronic ailments and ailments.

But miracles, as they say, do not happen, and the life of an ordinary person rarely resembles a sanatorium.

However, water - the most accessible and wonderful means of cleansing the body - is always at our disposal.

Irritation of the skin, caused by temperature or chemical baths, stimulates metabolic processes that help cleanse the body of toxins.

Baths divided into general (when the whole body is immersed in water) and local (for individual parts of the body), as well as cold (water temperature below 20 ° C), cool (temperature 20-33 ° C), warm (temperature 38-39 ° C ), hot (temperature 40 ° C and above) and indifferent (water temperature corresponds to the temperature of the human body - 36-37 ° C).

In order for the therapeutic and cleansing baths, which will be discussed below, to bring the maximum effect, you must adhere to the following recommendations:

• Please consult with your doctor before taking baths. Carefully observe the temperature regime recommended by the doctor.
• Do not take baths with inflammatory processes and exacerbation of diseases.
• Carry out the procedures regularly, daily or every other day, complete the recommended course.
• Maintain a comfortable temperature in the bathroom: it should not be either cold or hot.
• Make sure the bathroom is not stuffy.
• Take baths only 1.5-2 hours after eating and not earlier than half an hour before eating.

A warning

We repeat how exactly to take baths with hot and cold water (water temperature, duration of the procedure, etc.), in each individual case, the doctor must explain - it all depends on the age of the patient and his state of health.
