For many, long weekend plans will include spending a lot of time outside – a day at the beach, bike ride or catching an extra wave surfing. To ensure your Tuesday recap of this weekend includes only the fun stuff, not your sunburn or achy muscles, try a homemade bath to wrap up your extra dose of fun.
Muscle Rejuvenating Bath
Perfect after all those sports activities you decided to do over the weekend.
You’ll need: 10-12 basil leaves, 3-4 sprigs of rosemary, 1 cup of Epsom salt and a piece of cheese cloth and string or ribbon.
How to use: Crush basil and rosemary together, combine with Epsom salt, place in cheese cloth and secure with a long piece of ribbon or string. You can hang this pouch from your tap as you fill the bath or just drop it in the water. Keep the water a bit cooler, to help invigorate muscles.
Too tired or sore to make your own bath? Try Dr. Hauschka’s Sage Bath for a soothing, rejuvenating effect.
Hydrating Milk Bath
Perfect after a long day in the sun to restore your skin to its silky smoothness.
You’ll need: ½ cup of baking soda or cornstarch, 1 cup dry goat milk or dry milk, 1 cup ground oats (use a blender to make ground oats or use oat flour), 1 tablespoon of honey, 10 drops of lavender essential oil.
How to use: Combine everything in a bowl, except lavender essential oil. Add mix to running water. Once the tub fills, add lavender essential oil.
Enjoy your weekend!
