What you will need: knife, cutting board, cloth bag, tea ball or
cheesecloth and string
- To Make: Draw a bath. Put the sea salt into the tub. Place the hibiscus
into the cloth bag and toss into the tub. Slice the orange into rounds. Add
the carrier oil if you desire the added moisture. When the tub is full, add
the oranges and rose petals, if desired, to the water and swish around. - To Store: Plan to make this fresh for each use.
- To Use: Get in the tub and soak for at least 20 minutes, or longer to
enjoy maximum therapeutic benefits of the active botanical ingredients.
When you are finished soaking, rinse off in the shower to remove the
sweat and toxins you released as you bathed. After a bath is also the
perfect time to use a body scrub, as your skin is softened and easily
exfoliated. The Valencia Coffee Scrub from Chapter 4 is ideal. Follow
with moisturizer if desired.
