Oat Bath:
Oats are not only good to eat, but also incredibly nourishing and softening to the skin. The easiest way to take an oat bath, without creating an unrelaxing clean-up job afterwards, is to fill a muslin bag, a square of cheesecloth or simply a sock with oats, tie it shut and hang it from the faucet as you fill the tub. If you don't have a bathtub, this treat can easily be adapted to the shower by using the bag or sock full of oats to massage your body. Organic oats are easily found at the health food store and now even in most supermarkets.
Baking Soda Bath:
Baking soda is another wonderfully softening additive to the bath. Just add a 1/4 to a 1/2 cup to the water as it is filling up, step in and relax.
Organic Milk and Honey Bath:
Milk and honey baths were made famous by the queen of natural beauty herself, Cleopatra. They have an incredibly soothing, softening effect on the skin. To ensure that the milk doesn't spoil in the hot water, heat 1/2 cup organic whole milk and a teaspoon of honey ahead of time and then add it to the pre-run bath. Be sure to rinse off thoroughly under the shower after a milk bath.
If you want to add a delectable lift to the senses as well, add a few drops of pure organic essential oils to any of these baths just before you get in. Lavender, ylang-ylang, clary sage and chamomile.
