Bath-time lovelies...get fabulous skin & hair while relaxing!

I love baths - in fact I turned one of our bedrooms into a bathroom, just so I could fit the biggest bath I could find! The great thing about baths is not just the relaxation aspect...glass of wine, magazine...bliss! but its also a brilliant opportunity to get some products doing ALL the hard work for your skin and hair while you sit back and do as little as possible.
If you usually find time to fit in a weekly bath then its the perfect time to incorporate your wedding countdown preparations!
First up, hair. Before you get into the bath, wash your hair with a nourishing shampoo and apply a treatment. Wrap your hair in a warm damp towel and leave it to absorb while you are in the bath. I love Kerastase Elixir Ultime or the more budget friendly new Pantene Age Defy.
Next up, exfoliate face and body - for face, see my previous recommendations on exfoliators and for body try a home made scrub of coconut oil and sea salt or Sanctuary Hot Sugar Scrub.
Into the bath and I prefer oil type bath products to foamy ones which I think strip your skin and leave you with red blotchy patches. I love Jo Malone and Rituals. Two great bath treatments are also Epsom salts if you suffer from water retention or muscle pain and oats, if you have very dry skin - just pop some organic jumbo oats into a muslin cloth, tie with a hair band and attach to the tap while you are running the bath - it really soothes dry patches and takes down redness. On your face, pop on a facial oil and mask, again you'll find lots of recommended products in previous posts.
After a relaxing soak, if you have used oil, you probably won't need a body moisturiser. If you do need one, go rich and creamy, especially if you are just getting into PJ's afterwards. Bliss Lemon and Sage is gorgeous as are all the Body Shop Body Butters.
Rinse your hair and you are done! I recommend leaving application of fake tan until the next day as your skin will be very warm from the bath and you will have used some very rich heavy products - applied the next day, tan should glide on perfectly!
