]]> 45997 2 32 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/35929/32.jpg Pick your time Plan your bath. To promote sleep, take your bath 90 minutes before bedtime, and because the hot water can dry your skin, don’t soak for more than 20 minutes.

]]> 45998 3 43 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/35929/43.jpg Add salts at the start If you plan to use bath salts, add them as you start to run your bath so that they dissolve completely. Use one cup for every 60 pounds you weigh.

]]> 45999 4 52 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/35929/52.jpg Regulate temperature As the tub fills, keep track of the temperature with a thermometer. You want the water to be about 100° Fahrenheit, which is ideal for relaxing muscles.

]]> 46000 5 61 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/35929/61.jpg Exfoliate your skin While your tub is filling, take a natural-bristle body brush and gently rub your skin from your feet to your neck with upward strokes. This loosens dead skin and helps your body expel toxins.

]]> 46001 6 73 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/35929/73.jpg Prepare a cool compress Dip a clean washcloth in cold water and lay it on the side of the tub, so you can put it on your forehead if you start to feel too hot.

]]> 46002 7 81 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/35929/81.jpg Add extras Just before the tub is filled, add any extras, like a diluted essential oil, fresh or dried herbs tied in a piece of muslin or cheesecloth, one or two cups of powdered milk, or even a few bottles of beer, which is the bath additive of choice in some Czech Republic spas.

]]> 46003 8 96 Tip Milk contains lactic acid, a natural alpha hydroxyl acid that loosens dead skin.

]]> 46004 9 102 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/35929/102.jpg Make it special Make tub time special by lighting candles, putting on some music, and pouring yourself a nightcap.

]]> 46005 10 109 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/35929/109.jpg Scrub-a-dub Toward the end of your bath, vigorously scrub your skin with a washcloth or loofah.

]]> 46006 11 117 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/35929/117.jpg Take a quick shower Take a quick cold shower to rinse off and tighten the skin.

]]> 46007 12 120 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/35929/120.jpg Apply moisturizer Liberally apply moisturizer while your skin is still damp.
