Massage after Bath
February 26, 2009
Bathing should form a part of a person’s daily routine. Bathing helps to clean the skin of dirt, exfoliate dead skin and improve blood circulation in the skin cells.
While bathing the body loses natural oils due to the soaps and scrubs we use. The skin needs to be replenished with the oils to keep it soft, supple and glowing. There are a lot of home remedies one can use instead of opting for costly bathing products from the market. These home made formulas would be more safe, effective and easy when compared to its market counterparts
