Bathing To Help Your Skin..Problem Skin

Hi sorry haven't been to regular at putting up post on Bathing to help your skin as I said I would.
So back now to do one for you on Problem Skin. I know all of us have some form of problem skin, but what I mean is skin with Blemishes and Spots (pimples), yes the ones we really love to have and we all get at some stage,whether young or young:-) sure you know what I mean there. Bathing can help these types as well as any other problem type skin you might have. As I have said before it's just finding the right Oils that suit you.

Please do remember never to use to much oil in the bath as this can do more harm than good. Sorry to repeat myself for those that read my blog. But it is very important to understand and learn about the oils you are using. Always read the labels first. Only use amounts given and also the amount I give is what I use for my skin type. These bathing remedies and tips are my own remedies or should I say my Mum's and her Mum and so on down the line.
So what do we do, we first prepare the bath and bathroom. Get the relaxing music, close the doors, turn off the phone and get ready to relax. Run your bath. I say this because it is actually part of the healing process. The more relaxed you are in the bath the more relaxed your skin is.

Make up a mixure of two drops Lavender Oil
and two drops Tea Tree Oil;

Once your bath is at your decided warmth not to hot I hope.
Just add mixture to bath, lay back and relax. 20 minutes in a bath of oils is usually long enough, don't want you turning into a prune.

The reason these Oils work so well is they are known for their antibacterial properties and they are both calming oils.

If you have a real bad problem with spots and pimples, you can just dab them with neat Tea Tree oil.
But if you don't like the smell of Tree Tea you can also use the Lavender Oil the same way. I have used this dab a pimple with either of these oils lots of times. The Tea Tree oil I feel for me anyway even though it does smell yuk, works wonders.
Good idea to wear clothes made of cotton as I'm sure you know synthetic fabrics can irritate some skin types.

Hope you enjoy your bath, even if you have no problems with your skin, you can never beat a bath to wash away the stresses of life.

Enjoy :-)
