First of all, something good for bathing.
1, green tea

Taking a bath with a green tea bag can make the tea polyphenols in green tea penetrate into the bath water, effectively soothe the skin, detoxify and reduce fat.
2. lavender

Lavender has a good plant calming effect. If you are easy to travel in summer and your back is prone to acne and oily particles, you can try taking a bath with lavender to get effective relief.
3. baking powder

Many girls with sensitive skin are troubled by skin allergy. Try taking a bath with baking powder. When baking powder comes into contact with water, it will dissociate into several substances that can effectively relieve the skin, thus improving the allergic phenomenon.
4. Lemon
Efficacy: refreshing, eliminating acne and promoting skin regeneration.
Everyone knows that a large amount of vitamin C in lemon is excellent for the skin. Cutting a few pieces and taking a bath can not only make people feel happy, but also effectively improve the acne on their bodies and help regenerate broken skin.
5. energy
Efficacy: detoxify, prevent colds and relieve muscle aches.
People in China have a tradition of drinking ginger tea to relieve body cold, but actually taking a bath with ginger has the same miraculous effect. Cutting a few slices of ginger and taking a bath can effectively prevent the "cold" and muscle aches caused by slow construction and sedentary study.
6.lemon
Efficacy: shrink pores, repair skin and make skin radiant.
Whether using fresh lemons (we recommend squeezing 5-6 lemons) or lemon juice (about 1/2-3/4 cups), lemons can shrink pores, repair skin and make skin radiant. We like to put it in the bathtub to help us get a happy mood.
7.milk
Efficacy: soothing and calming, repairing sun exposure.
Milk bath is not a new skill, but many people don't know that milk bath has a miraculous effect on repairing sun exposure. If you accidentally put on sunscreen when you go out today, you can finally make up for it by taking a bath with milk when you go home.
8.olive oil
Efficacy: resist virus and bacterial infection and maintain skin collagen.
Many oils can help the skin become better and softer. Our favorite is olive oil. Add 5 spoonfuls of extra virgin olive oil to the bathtub and stir. Soaking in olive oil can help you resist viral and bacterial infections, maintain collagen in your skin, and even help you reduce annoying fine lines and wrinkles.
9.honey
Efficacy: Relieve stress, detoxify and moisturize skin.
Taking a bath with honey can effectively moisturize the skin and relax the mood. The key is that everyone has a faint sweet smell after soaking. It is suggested that ordinary honey should be used instead of royal jelly containing a lot of estrogen, because too high estrogen can easily cause diseases such as female breast tumors.
10, salt
Efficacy: Analgesia and anti-inflammation.
It is best to use sea salt and soak it in bath water, which can effectively fight against the common "rat shoulder" of white-collar workers and students and muscle pain caused by sedentary. However, it should be noted that there are a lot of sea salt for bathing on the market at present, and many of them also contain essential oil. It is suggested that you choose sea salt for bathing according to your different needs.
Second, the precautions for bathing
1, there is a difference between bathing in the morning and in the evening.
When you want to wake up in the morning, you can take a shower with hot water of about 42℃, or let the hot water soak around your shoulders. Joint and muscle activity is relatively slow in the morning. To improve this, you can use a slightly warmer bubble. When you need to relax at night, choose hot water at about 38℃ for a half-length bath for about 20 minutes, which will help you relax and have a good sleep.
You don't need to wash your body after taking a bath.
When using a bathing agent with moisturizing effect, it is best not to take a bath at last. Like a hot spring, it will wash away the moisturizing ingredients left on the skin surface. However, if you put grapefruit and calamus, etc. It should be noted that there may be skin irritation and need to be rinsed off.
Be sure to take a bath after eating.
When a person has just finished eating, a lot of blood flows into his stomach. If he takes a bath after a meal, hot water will make a lot of blood flow to the skin, causing stomach ischemia and indigestion. If you take a bath on an empty stomach, it is easy to cause dizziness and nausea, which is very harmful to your body. It is recommended to take a bath two hours after meals.
4. Bathing can't take the place of bathing.
With the increase of age, blood circulation and metabolism will gradually decrease. If you don't take a bath, you can't keep warm from your body, so that the cold will accumulate slowly, leading to shoulder pain, headache, gynecological diseases and other diseases. I hope everyone can get rid of the cold for a day by taking a bath, and don't let the cold accumulate in the body.
5, the bath time should be mastered.
It takes about 1 minute for blood to circulate to the whole body after being soaked in warm water of about 38-40℃. And let our body warm up from the inside out, this process needs at least 20 blood circulation, which means that about 20 minutes of bathing time is the most appropriate.
6, hay fever, allergic people, it is recommended to take a bath.
People with allergies or dry skin may be worried about itchy skin caused by bathing. However, a warm half-length bath that can raise the body temperature inside the body will not cause itching, but also improve immunity and remove allergic substances attached to the skin. In addition, when the body of pollinosis patients is cold, the symptoms will be aggravated, and half-body bath can also be used to improve the problem of chills and reorganize the melancholy mood caused by pollinosis.
7. Select the water temperature as needed.
Most people think that hot water is the most effective way to promote blood circulation, relieve fatigue and relax, especially in cold winter. Some people also like to constantly inject high-temperature water and soak for a long time. But the purpose of bathing is different, and the control of water temperature and time is also very different.
These things can make people feel more comfortable when they are put into water in the bath, and they can also play a certain health care role, because the pores of the human body are fully opened in hot water, and the beneficial components in these things can be absorbed by the human body through the pores and play their due roles. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the precautions for bathing.
