Advantages: Relaxing, Calming, Refreshing
Disadvantages: You may not like a bubble bath
One of my presents at christmas was this Aromatherapy Foaming Bath Essence kit.
I really believe that you should take the time to pamper yourself every now and then, one of the best ways to relax is to soak away your aches and pains in a luxurious bubble bath.
I was really pleased when I received this kit.
You get four little bottles of bubble bath, in a silver stand, each bottle is four inches tall and they have silver twist off tops.
You can buy them from Boots for 3.99.
On each bottle is written a word to tell you what each one is for.
Relaxing.
Contains a green gel like liquid and the scent of it is camomile.
This is an essential oil which is renowned for its beneficial properties for reducing stress, anxiety and can reduce headaches or help with menstrual problems, also it helps with insomnia.
Once you pour a little of this gel into the hot water it soon lathers up into a mass of bubbles, a great way to relax at the end of a day.
Sensuous
This one is couloured pink and is the same thick gel like consistancy of the relaxing camomile one.
When you open the top you can smell the scent of rose, I like this one as it lathers up quickly and the bathroom smells nice as you get in the bath, it also leaves a subtle scent of rose on your skin after bathing.
Rose has a wonderful antidepressant effect and is used to treat anxiety, stress and depression. It is also said to have aphrodisiac properties.
I wonder if that?s why its a tradition for men to buy loved one's roses?
Refreshing
This bath gel is also thick and makes loads of bubbles, I like to relax in loads of bubbles, it makes you feel better and this bath essence smells of lemon. It?s colour is yellow.
Lemon is great for waking you up, it stimulates your senses and is good for the circulation, it is also great for asthma, bronchitis and catarrh. I have been feeling a bit off colour with the flu lately and this has helped
me to feel better.
It also helps as a digestive aid and is also a natural cosmetic, it helps tone the skin.
It?s surprising what these oils actually can do.
Soothing
This is the last little bottle of my aromatherapy bath gels and this one is purple.
The scent of this one is lavender, I?m not a big lavender fan but was pleased to find that although it does make loads of bubbles and smells nice, the scent doesn?t linger on your skin after the bath.
Lavender is a great antiseptic and has the ability to relax and sooth away aches and pains, it?s a great tonic. It is also an appetite stimulant and is effective on burns and sores, lavender is one of the most common widely used essencial oil for healing. It is also good for headaches and pre menstrual tension.
I will probably go back to Boots and buy some more of these aromatherapy bath essences.
I really did enjoy using them and as each one is different I could choose the one which suited how I felt before having a bath.
They left my skin feeling soft and didn't irritate.
What a great present they were. It?s my birthday soon and I shall ask for some more of these.
