Aromatic oils in the bath

Aromatherapy is one of the oldest forms of natural therapies and is used for curing many chronic diseases. Whatever the mode of use, these aromatic oils enter the body, circulate and are excreted in a stipulated time without causing any side-effects. Using these essential oils in the bath is a wonderful way to take care of your skin.

In the bath:

When a few drops of aromatic oil is added to the bathtub along with a vegetable oil, it forms a film on the body and penetrates it slowly. A gentle scrub with a natural scrubber facilitates this penetration. The skin is rejuvenated and glows. Regular use of aromatic oils fights the formation of wrinkles, loss of elasticity, pigmentation and suppresses infection of the skin in the long run.

After bath:

A few drops of any essential oil blended in almond oil, when massaged on a clean skin gets completely absorbed and penetrates the tissue deeply. As one grows older, the skin loses its moisture retaining capability. Result? Dry and dull looking skin. This oil massage will prove to be effective.
