It’s all about looking forward to the small things in life during this time, and right now that might mean a relaxing bath night. From DIY recipes (using what you already have in your kitchen) to create an ideal self-care evening to soothing tunes to softly play in the background, we’re sharing everything you need to turn your tub into the ultimate escape. Read on to learn our tips to make your next bath ritual next level.
• Start your night by making our Liquid I.V. x Poosh Hydration Multiplier to sip while you’re soaking.
• If you have a bath tray (like the one we featured here), put it to good use.
• Set your phone outside your tub and set up our meditation playlist for soothing songs.
• To heighten the experience even more, turn on our Saje x Poosh diffuser and let the calming scents fill your bathroom.
• Use what you have in your home already and pick one of our three DIY bath treatments. You can get creative if you’re missing ingredients, and use these as loose guidelines.
• Post-bath wrap up in a fluffy robe and crawl into bed (getting cozy under a weighted blanket).
Benefits: If you deal with itchy dry skin, try adding milk (liquid or powder) to your next soak. The proteins, fats, and vitamins A and D found in milk can help replenish moisture into your skin. The at-home remedy can also soften and soothe irritated skin. The Poosh touch: add a pinch of lemongrass oil to help fight bacteria. *If you have severe skin problems, check with your doctor before taking a milk bath.
What you need:
Fill the tub halfway with warm water
Add 1 to 2 cups of milk (or powdered milk) *recommended: whole, coconut, goat, rice, or soy
Add 2-3 drops of lemongrass oil
Mix ingredients with foot
Soak for 20 minutes
2) Soothing Apple Cider Vinegar
Benefits: According to Healthline, one study found that ACV can be used to treat mild infections caused by common strains of bacteria. If you have dandruff, apple cider vinegar can help balance your scalp’s pH thanks to its antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. The Poosh touch: add Epsom salt to relieve achy joints.
What you need:
Fill the tub halfway with warm water
Add 1 to 2 cups of ACV *if it’s your first time using ACV, start with 1/2 cup
Add a scoop of Epsom salt
Mix ingredients with foot
Soak for 20 minutes
Benefits: Follow Shiva Rose’s instructions to release bad energy through a leisurely soak. “Use pink Himalayan salt to release negativity and detoxify the body and also relieve sore muscles. Place a black tourmaline crystal, which is a protective stone that blocks negativity, or amethyst crystal, which is known for healing, in the middle of your tub. Lastly, add fresh herbs like rosemary or sage, which contain ancient wisdom.”
What you need:
Fill the tub halfway with warm water
Add a scoop of pink Himalayan salt
Place crystal of choice in the middle of the tub
Add herbs (like rosemary or sage)
