Spas often focus on relaxing your body and mind before they begin a skin care regime for you. This includes invigorating bathing techniques in heated pools or a steam bath. A steam bath infused with exotic herbs and salts is a great way to relax your senses. A steam bath can also help open closed pores and detox your skin. You can achieve such a relaxing bath in your very own bath-tub.

Fill your bath-tub with slightly warm water and pour a cup of beauty sea-salts into the tub. Let the sea-salts soak in the hot water for 10-15 minutes so that its rejuvenating ingredients get completely dissolved in the warm water.  You can purchase these beauty salts from any reputed organic beauty stores selling natural beauty products. After 10-15 minutes, soak your body completely in the warm bath and relax in the tub for half an hour.

Gently scrub your face and body using the sea salts crystals to naturally exfoliate your complexion while you relax in the warm bath. Give yourself a rest period of 15 minutes once you step out from the warm bath. This will help relax your mind and body and will also help rejuvenate your facial and body skin. Try adding certain aromatherapy oils such as lavender oil or rosemary extract to the warm bath. These herbs will cleanse your skin and will provide a natural glow to it.

You can also make your own spa concoctions which can be used during the warm bath. A mix of olive oil, rose oil and a little shampoo makes for a nourishing bath concoction that will hydrate your skin.

All Natural Bath Lotions to Nourish Your skin

Along with relaxing bath infused with sea salts and herbs, your skin needs a nourishing agent that will moisturize it. Spas use a varied combination of exotic natural ingredients to create such nourishing body creams and lotions. An almond and milk concoction is great for nourishing the skin as almonds act as a natural scrubbing agent and milk serves as an effective moisturizer.

This bath lotion must be applied liberally all over the body, neck and face half an hour after a warm bath. This all natural concoction is sure to leave your skin looking fresh, glowing and supple. To make this concoction, take crushed almonds and mix with a few teaspoons of whole milk to form a paste. To this paste, add lavender oil, a little olive oil and few drops of glycerin.

A combination of honey and milk is an age-old beauty remedy that spas use extensively. Use this concoction and mix with your favorite aromatherapy oil to create your own nourishing lotion that can be applied before the relaxing warm bath. This concoction is sure to leave your complexion looking glowing and silken smooth.

Body wraps made of natural nourishing and exfoliating agents are an integral part of any spa treatment. You can replicate these body wraps at home too.

Apply this body wrap all over your body and face and then wrap yourself in a blanket for 20 minutes.

This is an example of a classic spa treatment technique that nourishes the skin as well as relaxes the mind. An oatmeal body scrub works wonders to exfoliate the dry and dead skin cells to reveal fresh looking youthful skin.

For this combine oatmeal with plain yoghurt and add some crushed natural herbs such as mint or rosemary and apply all over body and face. Apply this body scrub just before your warm bath for enhanced effect.
