There’s perhaps no better elixir than soaking in warm water after a long day. Many of us can validate the relaxing benefits of unwinding with a hot bath, but did you know it can also help improve your health and mental wellbeing?

Bathing has a long and history. Submerging ourselves in water, whether in bathing at home or in a natural body of water is something we do for personal hygiene, leisure, and health.

Nowadays, of course, a luxurious long soak is associated with solitude and self-care, a little indulgence that many of us look forward to after a stressful day or a tough workout. Studies show that the benefits of bathing are more than just skin deep. The benefits of taking a bath have been scientifically proven and can ensure optimal health of the mind and body.

Your skin releases endorphins in response to the soothing warm water the same way that endorphins are released when you feel the sun on your skin. Soaking in warm to hot water can be therapeutic and reinvigorating because blood flow increases to the skin.

Studies

Since the beginning of time, bathing has been about more than just personal hygiene. Cleanliness was seen as a symbol of power and beauty, and public bathing was a way to socialise and build communities.

Hydrotherapy has been practiced for centuries. Both the use of hot and cold water can have beneficial effects on the body. Boiling water can be sourced naturally from hot springs which are high in healing minerals. Cryotherapy or ice baths can help to alleviate muscle strain and many athletes including runners will submerge themselves in freezing waters to counteract the damage or strain induced by exercise.

Ancient cultures have long believed in the healing effects of water. Similar to mindfulness, the Japanese practice of “sento” is the use of public baths to cleanse both the body and the mind.

A Japanese study looked into the mental health benefits of bathing. They found that bathing, compared to a quick shower, transpired in less stress, tension-anxiety, anger-hostility, and depression.

In a German study, participants with depression reported a boost in mood after soaking in a 40C bath for 30 minutes. In fact, in this experiment, regular baths proved to be more effective in aiding depression than aerobic exercise.

Benefits

A bath can be the ultimate in self-care. And with the right setting and products, the effect can be enhanced a thousandfold.

A good bath might be seen as a little luxury now and then, but beyond some essential self-care, it actually has scientifically proven benefits for your mental health.

Warm baths improve mental and emotional health and decrease stress hormones and more balanced serotonin levels, which help regulate mood and improves states of depression and overall wellbeing.

Bathing can reduce pain and inflammation and calm the nervous system, reducing the levels of stress and anxiety in the body and calm the brain and nervous system.

A relaxing bath help many people sleep well and creates a good environment for meditation, thought, and escape from everyday stress and tension.

Increased body temperature at night helps regulate our natural circadian rhythms, leading to better sleep patterns, along with the improved quality of sleep and overall wellbeing.

Depression is thought to be related to low levels of serotonin, and research has shown that serotonin-releasing neurons connected to mood-regulating regions of the brain fire in response to increases in body temperature.

If you find taking a warm bath relaxing and it makes you feel good, there is now even more reason to take the plunge.

Best Practices

Before you jump in the tub ill-prepared, here are a few tips on how to create a soothing experience that will help you rebalance in the comfort of your own home.

Pick a time when you are unlikely to be distracted. Peace and quiet will help you to relax. Close the door and say no to endless distractions.

Use products that you find relaxing: While bath oils and aromatherapy blends may take your bath from enjoyable to life-changing.

How to take a good bath

Get the temperature spot on: Warm baths help ease physical tension, relax anxious muscles, and relives overall tensions in the body and mind. They can even aid with digestion problems, and lower blood sugar levels.

Consider the temperature of the room. A Japanese study showed that bathing in 41C water in a 25C room increased body temperature more than taking a bath in a 14C room. However, if taking a bath to promote sleep before bed, the room temperature should be cooler: 18C is ideal.

Use warm (not hot) water: Some people may experience dizziness or weakness when the temperature is too hot. The ideal temperature for a soaking bath is between 40C and 45C.

Large and sudden increases in temperature puts strain on the heart, so if you suffer from heart problems, avoid hot baths – particularly on cold days.

Essential Oils & Products: Choose your bath products.

Light it up: Keep your mind quiet, and focus on the present moment. The sound of the water, the aromatic experience. The complete relaxation

Many of us are exposed to blue light all day in the form of computers and mobile devices, leaving us mentally drained and prone to headaches. If your bathroom has lots of natural light, consider a daytime bath. Natural light can lead to an improved sense of wellbeing, and better sleep. In the evening, bathe by candlelight, as exposure to artificial light at night suppresses melatonin, interfering with sleep timing and quality.

Set the tone: Leave technology behind. Enjoy the silence, or lose yourself in natural sounds like rainforest sounds or peaceful rains. Studies show that nature sounds can decrease the body’s sympathetic response (that anxiety jolt that comes from fight-or-flight) and can increase feelings of relaxation.

Meditate: If you struggle to meditate, then try a few minutes in the bath. It is the perfect setting as your body is physically relaxed, and makes it easier to empty your mind. Close your eyes and concentrate on long, deep breaths. Keep your mind quiet, and focus on the present moment. The sound of the water. The smell of essential oils. The complete relaxation.

Combining electrotherapy with the active ingredients in aromatherapy-based skincare can lead to impressive skin results.
Matt Taylor, brand and education manager at Eve Taylor London, explains how to make it work for your clients

Cosmetic electrotherapy has been a key feature utilised by the beauty industry since the 1970s, with traditional modalities consisting of galvanic, high frequency, and microcurrent. As technology has progressed over the decades, skincare professionals now have access to many modalities to supercharge treatments, including ultrasound, ultrasonic, radiofrequency, LED, to name but a few.

While each device offers unique effects, without the right supporting products the ultimate results are less likely to be achieved. When using electrotherapy modalities within facial treatments, many beauty therapists assume they must be combined with scientific, technologically advanced skincare formulations to achieve a noticeable improvement to the skin, but Eve Taylor, the naturally beautiful aromatherapy brand, has created a range that allows you to combine nature and science together, offering treatments that give noticeable improvements while maintaining an aromatic and sensorial experience.

Exfoliation & Deep Cleansing

The range from Eve Taylor can be fully integrated with skin preparation when using ultrasonic technology. Deeply purifying formulations packed with tea tree oil and lemongrass essential oils within a foaming base can be propelled into the skin using sound waves, expelling grime and pollutants from the follicles as the blade edge passes, leaving the skin fresh and squeaky clean.

For those who wish to power up their exfoliation, an ultrasonic blade edge can be used, combined with professional resurfacing products formulated with fruit-based hydroxy acids or proteolytic enzymes. The active ingredients in the products will digest corneocytes and loosen the bonds that give cells cohesion to each other. The combined use of ultrasonic technology emits soundwaves to vibrate the cells, further loosening them and gently abrading with the blade, giving an excellent resurfacing action for impressive results.

Oxygen Response Serum

Formulations include the pomegranate and yeast-rich, which acts as a true skin tonic for those who need a re-energising skin boost and pick me up. This highly concentrated professional use serum improves the cell’s ability to consume and utilize oxygen. Improved cell oxygenation leads to increased cellular energy, tissue regeneration and a refreshed complexion.

Product Penetration

With so many electrical modalities on the market for product penetration, it can be challenging to determine which is best for your business and whether the chosen device can be used with a product range.

Eve Taylor has an extensive offering of electrical-compatible serums, gels and masques, which can all be combined with machines to drive them deep into the skin and give clients the results they crave. Whether using galvanic iontophoresis, ultrasound, ultrasonic or even LED therapy, these innovative formulations will impress.

The range of professional response serums are packed with botanicals and natural ingredients, yet, boast a scientific edge to achieve skin enhancements. The selection is highly concentrated and positively charged for supreme ionisation benefits.

Pigment Response Serum

This mulberry and vitamin C-rich , promotes a monotone complexion and helps to banish uneven skin tone .This professional use only serum responds to pigmentation changes from intense sun exposure, hyperpigmentation that comes with age, post-inflammatory pigmentation marks and other uneven skin tone related concerns.

Oily & Congested Skin

Oily and congested skins can also benefit from the combination of botanicals and electrical current with decongesting treatments. When using galvanic current on the negative polarity to create an alkaline effect, use with a desincrustation solution rich in aloe vera, chamomile and coconut based skin softeners to further assist with the saponification of impacted sebum in the follicles, allowing for easier comedone extractions and ultimately clearer skin.

If the client’s skin is especially congested, desincrustation products can be customised with Lemon Hydrolat for enhanced degreasing actions. This aromatic water, among others in the Eve Taylor range, is ideal for boosting the effects of professional products to take results to the next level.

Sebum Response Serum

Abundant in tea tree oil and niacinamide to regulate overactive sebaceous glands and refine pore size. This highly concentrated professional use serum addresses imbalances for those experiencing excessive oiliness, congestion or breakouts.

Lifting & Firming

For therapists with a client base concerned with ageing, the range of electrical compatible serums extends into the Age Resist range. With the skin-quenching Hydrating Serum abundant in hyaluronic acid to plump skin and create a dewy complexion; Brightening Serum to promote radiance while helping to build collagen and defend against free radical damage with its triple vitamin C formulation, and Firming Serum, a skin-strengthening elixir to firm and combat free radicals with co-enzyme Q10 and peptides working in harmony to protect collagen and elastin fibres from degradation while giving an immediate firming sensation. The highly effective serums can be used in combination with one of Eve Taylor’s many conductive mediums to ensure the smooth flow of current while assisting with skin improvement.

Microcurrent and radiofrequency are also catered for within the Eve Taylor range, with the formulations complementing skin-lifting treatments for visible effects. Firming Serum can be applied simultaneously or as a stand alone treatment serum to target loose skin tissues, or combined with lifting treatments for an all-round improvement.

For enhanced skin firming, customise Electro Gel with Peppermint Hydrolat. Its ultra-cooling actions help constrict the skin and further firm the epidermal layers. The cooling actions are especially beneficial when used with radiofrequency and help to counterbalance any irritating effects from the increased temperature.

Firming Serum

Formerly CoQ10 Serum.

This easily absorbed serum delivers potent anti-oxidants to firm and combat free radicals, protecting collagen and elastin fibres from degradation. With peptides to stimulate collagen production and minimise lines and wrinkles, the tightening effect on the surface gives an immediate firming sensation.

The botanical rich Anti-oxidant Masque is a firm favourite for ageing clients, while the aloe vera-rich Electro Gel is suitable for all skin types and conditions and intensively hydrates the skin as it conducts. To go one step further and really customise for the client’s specific needs, adding a few drops of Hydrolat to the chosen conductive medium not only makes the treatment aromatic but allows you to treat conditions simultaneously, with a serum targeting the primary skin concern and the enhanced conductive gel treating secondary concerns.

Anti-Oxidant Masque

A medium-weight creamy-textured masque infused with a unique powerhouse of natural good for skin ingredients to resist the signs of ageing and assist with the healthy functioning of the skin. Potent antioxidants neutralise damaging free radicals which contribute to skin ageing, vitamin-rich botanicals increase skin suppleness, brightness, luminosity, and essential hydration.

Hydrolat is created as part of the extraction process of essential oils, using steam, and retains many therapeutic properties of the oil while maintaining its water consistency, allowing it to be effectively infused and ionised into the skin. With eight Hydrolats in the range, you can select from Rose for all-round skin hydration, Lemon for oily skin, to Orange for intensive skin brightening.

The brand boasts its own electrical tool, the Ultrasonic Micro-therapy Device. Exclusively available to Eve Taylor therapists, this handheld tool offers multiple settings to exfoliate, clarify and ionise, and supercharges formulations within the range to give clients impressive results.
