subject: Relax... Your Hot Tub Can Be Heaven [print this page] A hot tub can be your gateway to a relaxing abyss where you can soak in your surroundings and have your troubles washed away. It can be a place where you can leave the distractions and stress of everyday life, silence the noise and enjoy that well-deserved peace and quiet. Hot tubs also relax aching and tired muscles, leaving you rejuvenated and ready to take on the day.
So how do you make the most of your hot tub experience? Here are a few tips on how to take advantage of your relaxation time.
You have all the time in the world - choose it wisely
Before you step into a relaxing hot tub, you might want to take note of the time. If youre going in early in the day, be sure to apply a lightweight lotion to keep your skin moisturized. If you decide to go for an evening dip, try using heavier based oil that will nourish the skin and stay on through the night. At any hour, you should always put on some sort of lotion before entering a hot tub to prevent dryness. Keep in mind your skins sensitivity and type when purchasing lotions and oils.
Sense the mood
Investing in different genres of music and experimenting with aromatherapy are two ways to help you relax. There are so many different kinds of music (e.g. Classical, ambient, jazz, etc.) to match your mood. Compilation CDs also make it easier to figure out which genre youd like to explore. Certain scents in the atmosphere can also improve your frame of mind. Aromatherapy is a form of alternative remedy that uses essential oils, and similar aromatic compounds from plants, for the purpose of improving a person's mood, cognitive function or health. Find out which scents make you feel happy, calm, relaxed, etc. and test them out while youre enjoying the water. Lavender and jasmine are two of the most popular scents to complement a hot tub atmosphere.
Give your hot tub some personality
Your individuality deserves to be seen, even when it comes to the hot tubs. Whatever your traits are, make sure you incorporate some of your character into your hot tub. Purchasing hot tub add-ons such as: speakers, towel warmers, or dcor items can all play up your hot tub ambiance, while reflecting your personal style.
