Perfect for recreating that spa-like feel at home, a few drops of bath oil will instantly upgrade your soak while offering a boost to your skin as well as your mood. But, do bath oils just feel good, or do they have a purpose for your skin health?
The Benefits of Bath Oils
We are all so used to applying just soap or shower gel to our bodies while bathing, that we are reluctant to change this regimen at all. But once you use fragrant bath oils, then it's hard to go back to just soap and water! Bath oils help to moisturize and hydrate the skin and create calming and soothing aromas. Some other benefits of bath oils are:
-When is the oil is mixed with water, it penetrates deeper into the skin and provides rejuvenation.
-The warmth of the oil can help to aid in improved blood circulation, and hence a reduction in fatigue, stiff joints, and improved motion in joints.
-Bathing in oil results in soft and supple skin. This leads to a more radiant skin that retains its brightness for a longer period of time.
