Hot baths cause pores to open and aid in general system detoxification

Apple cider vinegar baths restore a natural pH to the skin and hair, as well as rejuvenating and building up the body’s resistance. Use 2-4 cups pure, unprocessed apple cider vinegar in a hot bath.

The early Irish considered baths a major part of hospitality. To not offer a guest the opportunity to bathe, or at least wash hands and feet, was an insult.

In the 1500's,most people married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good. Brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide body odor. Voila - the custom of carrying a wedding bouquet was born.

2 in 1 Chocolate Facial Mask and Exfoliant

Start with a Skin Sauna: Fill a bowl with near boiling water and add four drops of each of the essential oils recommended for your skin type.

NORMAL : Mandarin and Lavender.
OILY : Lemon and Eucalyptus.
DRY : Rose and Camomile.

Place a towel over your head and hold it over the bowl from a distance of about 12 inches for 2 minutes. This opens the pores and prepares it for a face mask. (You should not use a face sauna if you are pregnant or suffer from asthma)

Beauty Trend Watch:
THE GOLDFISH PEDICURE

The goldfish pedicure was once considered exclusively Japanese. Now, women in Great Britain are dipping their toes into fish infested waters to get softer, prettier feet. The treatment consists of a tub of water with hundreds of miniature gold fish. In about 15 minutes, the fish have nibbled away only the flaky, unattractive dead skin. Fortunately the fish know the difference.
