In popular movies often there are footage where the heroine takes a bath with immense foam and rose petals surrounded by a romantic radiance of aromatic candles. To try this method of relaxation is not difficult at all; moreover, it will allow not only to relax, cheer yourself up, but also to noticeably improve the skin condition.
Which petals are suitable for the bathroom?
The uniqueness of such raw materials for the preparation of the bath is that the essential oils are preserved in the petals irrespective of their freshness. Thus, you can use both freshly cut flowers, and already dried.
It is worth noting that not only rose petals will suit, but also flowers of rose hips, rosemary and lavender.
How to make a bath with petals?
There are two main ways of using floral raw materials:
- The first is that the rose petals are placed in a hot bath and are there until the water acquires a comfortable temperature for the body. After this, you can start hygienic and relaxing procedures for the body. In any case, you will notice that the skin will become much softer and more gentle due to pink essential oil , and also enjoy its delicate aroma.
- The second method involves the use of additional ingredients to prepare a relaxing bath. Let's consider several effective recipes in more detail.
Bath with pink infusion
Petals with 8-10 buds of roses or other selected flowers, for example, rose hips, lavender, boil on very slow fire for about 15-20 minutes in one liter of water. Cover the container with a lid and let it sit for a while. If desired, you can add to the solution of any aromatic and essential oils, dry herbs. After the infusion is prepared, it should be poured into warm water in the bath and proceed with the relaxation session.
Bath to improve skin elasticity and elasticity
For this procedure, you need the following components:
- 150 g (glass) of dried pink petals;
- 100 g of oatmeal or cereal;
- a glass of shallow sea salt;
- 12-15 drops of essential oil of lavender and rose;
- gauze pouches or just pieces of cotton fabric, which can be tied with braid.
All these ingredients must be mixed in a large bowl, and then divided into 5-6 portions and each placed in a prepared tissue pouch. These aromatic sachets should be placed in a bath and filled with a small amount of very hot water or boiling water so that all useful substances and vitamins are released from the mixture. Then you can remove the bags, squeeze them and fill the bath with warm water of a comfortable temperature for you.
Bath with pink petals and milk for skin rejuvenation

on low heat, do not bring to a boil. - In warm milk, pour the pre-cooked petals and cook them for 15-20 minutes, stirring constantly.
