One very popular gift for mother's day, birthdays or on other gift giving occasions are beauty bath sets. These continue to gain popularity as more women enjoy a relaxing bath to alleviate stress and ease tension. No longer is a bath merely for getting into to get clean. It has become more of an experience to enjoy instead of a merely a way to bathe. This has created an entire line of health and beauty products to be enjoyed by the bather. At one time if you gave a gift of bath beads, bath salts or fancy soaps it was considered the gift you bought when you did not care about someone. You did not know them well but felt obligated to give a little gift and so you turned to bath products. Now this kind of gift is received very differently.
These beauty bath sets are sold in baskets or toiletries bags, or in simple plastic cases or fancy metal basins with clear wrapping so that the products can be more easily displayed. They may contain any number of things but usually there will be bath lotions, body lotions, bubble bath, bath salts, body scrub or maybe some essential oils to pour into the bath tub. They will also often have lotion applicators, massagers and scrubbers. All of which are available in many different sizes, shapes and colors. The sets come in small packages with only a few articles or very large ones that contain one of everything.
Beauty bath kits are wonderful for just about any occasion, from the simple "I was thinking of you" gift to something for a birthday or Christmas. Also, there is no reason why you cannot enjoy a set of your favorite bath things in your own home as well. After all, you work hard and deserve some pampering too.
When these are bought, either for oneself or to give as a gift, they are not just to purchase something to use in the bath tub, they are bought to make the bath a more enjoyable relaxing experience. They are purchased to make a healthy practice out of a warm bath. Bath beauty sets contain all a women needs to allow themselves that little bit of special time to relax and refresh themselves. In other words, women (and some men) love to make their bodies feel healthier, their skin moister, and their minds shed the stress. Few things can accomplish these goals with the ease of a beauty bath kit.
Depending on what you put into the water, a bath can be:
a. Nourishing
b. Stimulating
c. Toning
d. Soothing
e. Relaxing
Easy additions to the bath water are as follows:
a. 1 cup of vinegar: Soften water / soothe dry and itching skin
b. 1 tablespoon of ground oatmeal: Soothe / soften skin
c. 1 cup of powdered milk: Nourish skin / combat dryness
d. 1 large spoon of honey: Relieve tiredness / sleeplessness
e. Orange or Lemon peel: For a pleasant odour
f. 2 tablespoons of laundry starch: Tighten / smooth skin
g. 2 handfuls of Epsom salts: Combat tiredness
Herbal Bath Treatments
Herbal baths have traditionally been incorporated into a beauty treatment regime. The more popular herbs for the bath include the following:
* Lavender: For the pleasant odor and very relaxing to the mind and emotions
Autumn Body Polish
Ingredients
* 1/8 cup finely ground Sunflower seed meal (try using a coffee grinder) * 1/8 cup applesauce * Mix ingredients into a paste, then apply with gentle circular motions into your face, throat, chest, arms, and legs. * Allow formula to remain on skin for 10 minutes so the Sunflower oils can be released and your thirsty skin can absorb them. * Rinse with warm water and gently pat dry.
Makes enough for one application.
Buttermilk Bath Salts
Here is another variation on bath salts.
* 1 cup Buttermilk Powder * 1 cup Sea Salt * Add up to 24 drops of Essential Oils.
Blend well, keep in a sealed jar. Use 1/2 cup per bath. This makes enough for 4 baths.
Almond Bath Bomb
* 1/4 cup baking soda * 2 tablespoons citric acid or Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C Powder) * 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar * 2 tablespoons sweet Almond oil * 1 teaspoon Vitamin E Oil * 1/4 teaspoon Essential Oil of choice
Combine dry ingredients in bowl and stir until well blended. Drizzle in Almond oil and stir until mixture is moistened. Add Vitamin E and Essential Oil. Stir until well mixed.
Take teaspoon size globs of mixture and form balls. If mixture is crumbly, add more Vitamin E Oil. If too wet, add more baking soda.
Put balls on Sheet of wax paper and leave for 2 or 3 hours. Reshape balls, then let air dry and harden for 10 days. Store in a closed container.
To use, add one or two balls to hot bath and enjoy.
