QUICK TIPS:

To have a rejuvenating aromatic bath, make sure to run the hot water for a while before you add the essential oil. Shut the door and window not to allow the fumes to escape. Using 4-6 drops of your favorite essential oil for your bath, use your hands to disperse the oil in the water. Never have a bath after taking a heavy meal, which can disrupt your digestive system and make you feel dizzy.

Moreover, bubble baths may contain some chemicals and some other preservatives so never go for it. This may interfere with the essential oil and might end up causing some allergic reactions, which you may not like that. Or if you can’t go without bubble bath, why don’t you go for a natural or organic bath soap?

After your therapeutic bath, relax for at least 10 minutes. Lie on your sofa bed with dress on. Dip a cotton ball in rose or flower water, cover your eyes with it and relax. Then follow up with your fave body oil.
