A healing bath is the best help with sleep and anti-aging remedy. A healing bath can also help nourish and rejuvenate your skin, detox our body and relax your muscles and mind.

I would like to share with you several bath beauty remedies to detox your body, soften your skin, refresh your brain and make you feel and look fabulous.

“Happiness consists in frequent repetition of pleasure.” – Arthur Schopenhauer

I. Natural Body Scrub Beauty Recipes

• Almond Butter Scrub

Get some almond butter and use it as a body scrub to rejuvenate and nourish your skin. Almonds are rich in vitamin E to make our skin smooth and glowing.

• Sugar and Spice Body Scrub

Add one cup sugar to ¼ cup olive or almond oil; mix in one teaspoon each cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger powder. Use in the shower for a morning wake up ritual. Your skin will smell as sweet as pumpkin pie. (from www.ecomii.com)

II. Rejuvenating and Nourishing Detox Healing Bath Recipes

• Ginger Bath

Peel and coarsely chop an inch of whole ginger and put it in an old stocking, tying one or both ends to keep the ginger inside. Place in a tub with very warm running water. A ginger bath will help to detox your body and soothe your skin.

• Apple Cider Vinegar Bath

If you’re tired and worn out, try adding half a cup of vinegar to your bath. You’ll be surprised at how invigorating this is.

• Milk Bath

Cleopatra could afford a bath in pure milk, but, hey, most of us don’t have the deep pockets she had. So if you want to try a less expensive milk bath, add a cup of instant milk powder to your bath water. Doing so will help you have silky soft skin. You could also add a few drops of lavender essential oil to relax you before bed. (all three bath ideas are adopted from www. chetday.com)
