Perfect Relaxation in the Bath: How to Prepare a Relaxing Bath?

We can all agree that not all baths are created equal. Sometimes, you just need a quick rinse because responsibilities won't wait. However, nothing beats a long, hot bath after a stressful day. How do you prepare such a relaxing bath? Here are some tips that will turn your bathroom into a home spa.

1. Water Temperature is Key What’s the ideal temperature for a bath? The answer is simple – the one that suits you best. For most people, a temperature around 37–40°C is the most comfortable. However, don’t overdo it! Water that’s too hot can dry out your skin. On the other hand, if the water is too cold, your muscles won’t be able to relax properly.

2. Treat Yourself with Bath Salt Adding bath salts can greatly enhance the relaxing effects of your bath. The minerals in the salts help relax muscles, calm the skin, and relieve tension. Epsom salt is especially known for its beneficial effects on the body – so why not give it a try?

3. Harness the Power of Essential Oils Don’t skip this step! Essential oils can completely transform the atmosphere of your bath. Just a few drops of lavender oil will calm your mind, citrus oil will give you more energy, or peppermint oil will help you breathe better. What effect do you need? Explore our selection of SAVON essential oils and find the fragrance that suits your taste.

4. Candles and Music for Perfect Relaxation The soft glow of candles creates an environment in which it’s easier to unwind and forget about stress. If you choose scented candles, make sure their fragrance complements the essential oils in the water. Add your favorite music or calming meditation melodies. You can even try meditation itself, which will deepen your relaxation.

5. Take Time for Your Skin Do you like to use your time efficiently? Combine your bath with skincare. During a warm bath, your pores open, making it the perfect time to apply a face mask. You can also use a body scrub to remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin soft and smooth. We highly recommend this!

6. Don’t Forget Hydration After the Bath Caring for your body is important not only during the bath but also after. How to do this? Use nourishing body butter or lotion to prevent your skin from drying out and to provide the necessary hydration. SAVON body oils with hydrating and aromatherapeutic effects are also a great choice. You can add them directly to your bath or combine the bath with a relaxing massage.

7. Extend Your Relaxation Experience Want to get the most out of your relaxing bath? If so, think about the moments after your bath. Prepare a warm bathrobe and a soft towel to stay warm for as long as possible. Bonus tip? If you can, warm up your towel on the radiator so you can wrap yourself in it immediately after getting out of the bath.

Whether you prepare your relaxing bath in any way, the most important thing is that you enjoy it fully and take a moment for yourself. We believe that our SAVON natural cosmetics will help you with this!
