DIY Bath Beauty Detox Recipes
These simple and effective detox bath recipes are perfect for rejuvenating, and replenishing your body and skin. Give yourself the power of relaxation and a soothing spa day from the comfort of your own home.
Oatmeal
If you suffer from dry, itchy, and flaky skin, then an oatmeal bath will be a comforting and soothing fit. This recipe is well known and has been used for a long time and we know you’ll just love it.
To prevent making a mess and possibly clogging up your drain, we recommend you add 1-2 cups of ground oats to a clean sock or cloth bag and allow it to soak in the warm bath water for 10-15 minutes. Use the same sock to gently rub and rest on your skin for added benefits.
Tea
When you’ve had a long and stressful day, what a better way to relax than a comforting bath!
Taking a tea bath is great for a multitude of reasons. The antioxidants in tea are rich and powerful and depending on the circumstance there are a variety of different herbs you can choose from.
If you have tight or sore muscles, then we’d suggest a nice green tea and lavender blend.
If you suffer from acne and other skin conditions chamomile works wonders!
Calm your nerves and moisturize your skin with jasmine blended with rose.
To easily make a tea bath you have multiple options.
1). Take a muslin bag with a tie and add your herbs and blends, close the bag and then tie around the faucet. This allows the water to pour over the tea and steep while the tub is filling.
2). Add 5-6 tea bags to your warm bath water and allow it to steep for 10-15 minutes.
Alternatively, you can brew a pot on the stove and pour into your bath once filled.
