Understanding sensitive skin and its needs

Sensitive skin has a heightened reaction to external factors such as:

• environmental irritants
• harsh ingredients
• and temperature changes

It tends to be more prone to dryness, redness, itching, and irritation. If you have sensitive skin, you know how important it is to be mindful of the products you use on your skin.

To care for sensitive skin, it's essential to understand its unique needs. Sensitive skin often lacks the protective barrier that keeps moisture in and irritants out. It can be more susceptible to the effects of harsh chemicals, fragrances, and dyes commonly found in many bath products. Additionally, sensitive skin tends to have a lower tolerance for extreme temperatures.

The benefits of a bubble bath for sensitive skin

Sensitive skin requires careful attention. But it doesn't mean you have to miss out on the luxury of a soothing bubble bath. In fact, a bubble bath can offer several benefits to those with sensitive skin. Here are some thoughts for you to consider.

Firstly, a bubble bath can help hydrate and moisturise your skin. Hopping in a warm bath increases your skin's natural moisture barrier. It allows your skin to absorb moisture better. This can ease dryness and reduce flakiness. A bubble bath can leave your skin feeling soft and supple.

Secondly, a bubble bath can provide a calming and relaxing experience. Stress and anxiety can often trigger skin sensitivities, leading to flare-ups. Take the time to unwind in a soothing bubble bath. It can help reduce stress levels, promoting overall skin health and well-being.

Lastly, a bubble bath can improve blood circulation. The warmth of the water helps dilate blood vessels, increasing blood flow to the skin. This improved circulation can help deliver oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells. And enhance health and skin appearance.

Choosing the right products for a soothing bubble bath

When choosing a soothing bubble bath for sensitive skin read the label before buying. Choose gentle, hypoallergenic options. Avoid products that contain potentially irritating ingredients such as:

• sulphates
• artificial fragrances
• and synthetic dyes.

Opt for products that contain natural ingredients known for their soothing properties. Ingredients like avocado oil can help calm and nourish sensitive skin. These gentle ingredients can provide relief from irritation and redness. Enjoy your bubble bath experience.

Additionally, consider using fragrance-free or lightly scented bubble bath products. Strong fragrances can be a common trigger for sensitive skin reactions. If you prefer a scented bath, choose products that use natural essential oils for a more subtle and skin-friendly fragrance.

Citrus Blossom Bubble Bath comes with an amber glass bottle with your choice of essential oil blend. The blend is a base of avocado oil with essential oils. It’s up to you as to how much you would like to put in your bubble bath. For sensitive skin start by using a few drops and increase the quantity, if it agrees with your skin. It’s also useful to complete a spot test first.

Preparing your bathroom for a luxurious bubble bath experience

Before you hop into the tub, take a few moments to prepare your bathroom for a luxurious and soothing bubble bath experience. Creating the right ambiance can enhance the relaxation and overall benefits of your bath.

Start by tidying up your bathroom space to create a clutter-free environment. Remove any unnecessary items or distractions that may disrupt your tranquillity. Dim the lights or use soft candlelight to create a calming atmosphere. Play some soft, soothing music to further set the mood.

Lastly, ensure the water temperature is comfortable. Hot water can be harsh on sensitive skin, so it's best to opt for warm water instead. Test the water temperature with your hand or a thermometer to ensure it's comfortable and soothing. The ideal temperature is around 37-38 degrees Celsius (98-100 degrees Fahrenheit).

Step-by-step guide to creating the perfect bubble bath for sensitive skin

It's time to create the perfect bath experience for your sensitive skin. Follow this step-by-step guide to ensure a soothing and gentle bubble bath:

1. Fill the tub with warm water: Start by filling your bathtub with warm water. Ensure it's at a comfortable temperature for your skin. Avoid using too hot water, as it can strip your skin of its natural oils and cause further dryness.
2. Add Citrus Blossom Bubble Bath: Wipe down your bath to remove any grime. Place a few tablespoons of Citrus Blossom Bubble Bath in your bath for tonight’s blissful indulgence. Be mindful not to use too much, as excessive bubbles can lead to skin irritation.
