How to Create a Bathtime Ritual
After a long day or intense workout, sometimes there’s nothing better than a warm bath to soothe the muscles and calm the mind. We are big advocates for a bathtime ritual, so we’ve included our best tips on how to create the most luxurious bath in the comfort of your own home.
Time to Accessorize
Yes, accessories can play a crucial part in creating an amazing bathtime ritual. A bath tray that sits across the tub is a great place to start, especially if you’d like to reach maximum comfort during your bath. You could also look for essential oil blends for a diffuser, neck pillows, crystals, and candles.
Grab What You Need
Before you start running your water, gather all the supplies you need and set everything up. If you’ve got a bath tray, lay it out where you need it and place your crystals, book, iPad, or anything else you may want on it. A stool next to your tub is a great alternative to a bath tray! Attach your neck pillow, if desired, to the tub, and fill your diffuser with your favorite essential oil blend. If you’re looking to create a relaxing atmosphere, light some candles so you can turn off any overhead lights. If you’re looking to occupy the space for a while, try mixing together a delicious mocktail and grabbing a snack like strawberries with just a dusting of sugar—the perfect little sweet treat!
Cleanse First
Washing your face with your favorite cleanser and prepping your skin before the bath can set you up for success, especially if you are looking to multi-task with your self-care. Once you’ve cleansed your face, you could use a face mask like our Moonlit Matcha Waterless Face Mask and sit with it on for 10-15 minutes while you’re enjoying your bath.
Determine What You Need
As you draw your bath water, think about what it is you are looking to get from your bath and what kind of bath salt would be the best to add. If you are simply looking to relax, something floral like our Relax™ Mineral Bath may do the trick. If a long day has you worn out, our Tired Old Ass™ blend may be just what you are looking for. If you are prepping for a night of restful sleep, our Sleep Comes Easy™ Mineral Bath can help set the tone for sweet dreams.
Happy Bathing!
Taking a bath is a simple pleasure you can add to your routine to help you unwind and ease your muscles. It can be as simple as using only a mineral bath or as decadent as a spa. Find what you enjoy the most, and take a few moments out of your day to make that a reality!
