Bathing For Pleasure
August 1st, 2010After a long, hard day, we can all use some Bath Magic. More than just making us clean, it can remove the chemical and emotional pollution of the outside world while it soothes and refreshes us. Sometimes, after a hard day, a nice long bath can make everything all right.
As with jazz, some like it hot, and some like it cool. Each kind of bath helps us in different ways. The discomforts of over exertion to the common cold are eased by a nice hot bath. Don’t let your skin dry out, though. A squirt of baby oil or another oil of your choice, such as vitamin E, into the bath will protect your skin and leave it feeling smooth.
Skin problems love a cool bath. Add a handful of baking soda while running a cool bath, and the pain and heat of a sunburn will be soothed. Poison oak and other rashes can be treated this same way. The discomforts of hot summer weather can be minimized with a cool bath.
A cream or lotion formulated for your type of skin, as in dry, normal, or oily, should be applied after drying off from the bath. Before you buy, read the label to see if there are chemicals or animal products used; if so, keep looking for a cream that uses natural, understandable ingredients and that it’s cruelty free, which means it doesn’t test their product on animals.
Choose your soap and shampoo with the same thought in mind. Forget chemicals and animal products; go for the natural ingredients. When you shampoo, lather once with an amount that equals the size of a quarter in the palm of your hand. Keep rinsing until there is no more trace of shampoo. Truly clean hair bounces and shines and looks wonderful. Use quality body and hair products that clean gently and naturally and your skin and hair will reward you with beauty everyone will notice.
