In the world of art, beauty and tranquillity are often sought after. These same qualities can be found in the simple act of taking a bath. The bathtub, an inviting centrepiece, lures you to a relaxation ritual. For those who appreciate the finer things in life, a well-prepared bath can be a truly luxurious and relaxing experience.

How to Use Bathtub?

If you are also wondering how to take a bath in the bathtub,  here’s a step-by-step guide to transform your bath into a truly indulgent experience.

1. Setting the Stage

• Cleanliness is Key: A pristine bathtub is the canvas for your relaxation. Begin by ensuring your tub is spotless and free from any residue or dust. This sets the tone for your bath and ensures the experience is as pure and refreshing as possible. Use a gentle, eco-friendly cleaner that won’t interfere with the luxurious bath products you’ll be using.

• Temperature Control: The ideal water temperature is subjective, but generally, a warm bath, around 90-100°F, is most relaxing. Test the water with your wrist before stepping in. Tiaara by Artize has a built-in water heater in the bathtub, which regulates the water temperature.

• Lighting: Dim the lights or light a few scented candles to create a soft, calming ambience. Consider investing in waterproof, colour-changing LED lights to add a touch of artistic flair. Oxypool as a Chromo-therapy feature, which can create a serene ambience with colourful lights.

• Music: For the musically inclined, a soft, classical playlist can enhance the ambience and allow you to unwind completely. Before entering the bathtub, curate a playlist of soothing music.

• Shower Before: A quick shower bath before getting soaked in a bathtub is essential to cleanse your body of any impurities and ensure that you can fully immerse yourself in the experience without distraction.

2. Enhancing the Experience

• Aromatherapy: Bath salts infused with minerals or essential oils like eucalyptus or chamomile can transform the water into a soothing elixir. These elements not only relax your muscles but also nourish your skin. Add a few drops of a favourite oil for extra hydration, leaving your skin silky smooth.

• Bubble Baths or Bath Bombs: Bubble baths are timeless and indulgent. Choose a high-quality product that creates rich, frothy bubbles without drying your skin. The bubbles add a playful element to your bath, while the subtle scent envelopes you in a cocoon of luxury.

• Bath Caddy: A bath caddy holds your book, wine glass, or tablet, keeping them within easy reach. A beautifully designed bath tray can hold a glass of fine wine, a book of poetry, or even a rare art catalogue, allowing you to indulge all your senses simultaneously.

• Head Rest: A comfortable bath pillow supports your head and neck, allowing for complete relaxation. Quadro comes with a headrest so you can enjoy the bathtub experience with added neck support.

• Towels and Robes: Invest in plush, high-quality towels and a comfortable robe for a truly pampered experience.

3. Indulge Your Senses

• Tea or Wine: A herbal tea or wine can further enhance relaxation. Choose a beverage that complements the ambience.

• Books or Magazines: Immerse yourself in a good book or catch up on your favourite magazines.

• Face Mask or Hair Treatment: Use the warm, humid environment to treat your skin and hair.

• Mindful Meditation: Close your eyes and focus on your breath. Let go of any worries and simply relax.

4. The Art of Relaxation

Remember, the goal is to create a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Don't rush. Take your time and savour every moment. Allow yourself to fully unwind and let go of the day's stresses. A well-prepared bath is not just a cleansing ritual, but an opportunity to nourish your body and soul.

5. After Care:

• Shower After: A gentle rinse after your bath helps to remove any bath product residues, leaving you refreshed and ready for the final stage of your ritual.

• Moisturise: After stepping out of the bath, pamper your skin with a rich moisturiser. Choose a body oil or lotion that accentuates the aroma of your bath to make it even more enjoyable. Apply it generously while your skin is slightly damp to lock in moisture, ensuring it stays soft and supple.

• Clean Your Bathtub: As a final act of self-care, clean your bathtub once your bath is complete. This keeps your bathroom in pristine condition and ensures that your next bath will be just as luxurious.
