Small pre-soaking rules:

• The bathroom must cozy: before taking a bath, ventilate it for at least 10 minutes
• Choose one soft light and light some candle perfumed to create a relaxing atmosphere
• To dry off, prefer a soft enveloping bathrobe, possibly in natural fibers
• Finally, the most important rule: turn off your cell phone, try to unplug everything for an hour!

And here you are, ready to begin the actual bath ritual:

The water temperature should be around 34th, not too hot and the ideal weather for the spots 20/30 minutes .

Before diving in, you can do yourself a nice scrubs to eliminate dead cells and, ideally, also the accumulated stress. Which scrub to choose? There are many types. For a relaxing effect, the draining ones, with Dead Sea salts or based on herbs and plants, are fine. If you don't have it at home, you can make your own by mixing a little salt and olive oil!

Insist on rougher areas such as elbows, knees and feet and then immerse yourself directly in the tub without rinsing.

Behind the head, put a towel as a buffer and add a few drops of essential oil such as eucalyptus or mint which are super purifying.

While you're soaking, take the opportunity to make yourself one face mask or… the Balique hair mask : it's an excellent opportunity for an intensive treatment with an ultra-nourishing effect.
