Stress Relief With Chamomile Bath
Chamomile is a calming herb with both soothing and healing properties that can ease away the stress and tension. Making a chamomile tea bath is a natural way to settle yourself and help you relax and sleep. Brew six teabags of chamomile tea in four cups of boiling water to make a very strong brew of chamomile tea. Add the brewed tea to your bathwater and enjoy a calming bath to aid sleep.
Oily Skin Bath Recipe
A concentrated tea brew made with pepperment leaves or peppermint teabags can be added to bath water for a refreshing and tinglingly cool soak that is great for detoxing oily skin.
Adding thinly sliced citrus fruit, like lemons, oranges and limes not only make a pretty bath with amazing aromatherapy properties, but also aid in treating oily skin. The citric acid found in citrus juice will kill bacteria, remove impurities and is used to dry up excess oil.
Dry Skin Bath Soak
Long winter months can exacerbate dry skin. You can help alleviate dryness is by spending 15 - 20 minutes in a warm bath a few nights a week. Adding 10 - 15 drops of naturally scented bath oils to bath water is an excellent way to trap moisture in your skin. You can also add two cups of epsom salts for cleansing and increasing the moisture in your skin. Epsom salts are comprised of magnesium sulfate, which helps draw toxins from your skin, relaxes muscles and is a natural emollient.
Skin Softening Bath Recipe
One of the easiest bath recipes to help soften skin is by adding a cup of powdered milk to running water. The milk's lactic acid helps remove dead skin cells and will leave your skin baby soft.
Soothing Bath For Bites And Itching
Oatmeal baths are wonderful natural remedies for itchy skin caused by conditions such as eczema, chicken pox, sunburn, poison ivy, insect bites and diaper rash. Because it is natural and gentle, an oatmeal bath is perfect relieving itchiness in babies and children. Blend about one cup of rolled oats in a blender until you have a fine, consistent powder. Sprinkle the oats into a warm running bath and stir to distribute. Be careful when entering the bathtub, as the oatmeal will make the tub slightly slippery. Soak in the bath water for 15 - 20 minutes.
