Why Try DIY Bubble Bath?

Dipping yourself into a bubble bath can be relaxing and soothing for your body. Here, we explain all the perks of bubble baths and we also explain how to make some at home by using some key ingredients. There will be no reason to leave the house and shop! See for yourself and make yourself some DIY bubble bath.

Top 5 Perks of Bubble Baths

Once a week, it is good to cleanse your mind, body and soul. You should prepare yourself a bubble bath, light a few candles, and also make yourself cosy, warm and calm with a glass of wine. Turn on some music, or just disconnect from the world and enjoy complete silence. Your body will thank you afterward.

Muscle Relaxation

Your muscles and your joints are able to rest while you are in the tub. The hot water helps your body wind down, especially after a long workday. If you work out or if you are an athlete, you should definitely take a bubble bath.

Great Skincare Benefits

A warm bath helps increase blood circulation and allows your tissues to heal and regenerate. By soaking your skin and stimulating your immune system, you are also thoroughly cleaning your pores. An effective cleanse removes dirt; the higher the heat, the better the results.

Removes Toxins

By sweating in high heat, we tend to work out our lymphatic system and our body goes through lymphatic drainage. Your body is then able to remove any toxins and you will feel a lot cleaner inside out, as well as healthier.

Improves Mental Health

During a bubble bath, your mind is able to relax, and you can focus entirely on you. Eliminate all the stress and enjoy your own peace and quiet for 30 minutes. A warm bath will bring you happiness and also acts as aromatherapy.

Improves Sleep Quality

You will fall asleep a lot quicker because of your warm bath. Your body will drop in temperature during the night, but because of your bath, you will experience an even higher drop in temperature, which leads to a bigger boost of melatonin (a chemical associated with sleeping). This allows you to feel even more rested.
