Premium bathing experience in 9 different ways:
Milk
Nutrients and vitamins present in milk make the skin smooth and
moisturize it by hydrating it. The lactic acid in milk softens the skin.
Only a few glasses of milk added to lukewarm water and soaked for
around 15 minutes is required to prepare your bath.
Herbs
Herbs encourage sleep, relieve stress, and ease the tension in the skin.
Dried herbs like lavender, chamomile, and rosemary can be selected for
this purpose. Use cheesecloth to tie the herbs and place it under
running water.
Apple Cider Vinegar
If you’re suffering from sunburn then try some apple cider vinegar in
your bath. A cup of this in water, soaked for approximately 10 minutes
is just enough for you to have a cleaner skin with excess toxins
removed.
Ginger
Ginger’s antibacterial properties heal cold, flu, and congestion to a
great extent. Putting ginger in your bathing water will raise the body
temperature and thus make you feel warmer. At the same time, it releases
soreness from the muscles and eradicates body toxins.
Oatmeal
Oatmeal works perfectly if you have skin allergies, itchiness, or
dryness. A cup full of oatmeal added to your bathing water and soaked
for around 15 minutes is the perfect recipe to ease you of your skin
irritations.
Essential Oils
Essential oils have an aroma that relaxes the body and mind in just the
right way. They relieve the stressed muscles and skin irritations.
Pamper yourself with some drops of the oil in water and experience the
soothing feeling enter your body.
Salts
Salt has exfoliating properties. Add some bathing salt in water and soak
yourself in it; your muscles will gradually relax. You will also
experience a moisturized skin, gradually reducing the wrinkles on it

This is famous for both its exfoliating properties and as a cleaning
agent. It detoxes the body, eases muscular pain, and calms skin
irritations. Add a bit of baking soda to the bath you’ve prepared for
yourself. Let your body soak in this water for approximately 15 minutes
