Quella of bathroom it is an art that in winter becomes a ritual: when it rains outside (or better still it snows) what could be more pleasant to let yourself go in a tub of hot and foamy water, among the soft lights of scented candles?
A ritual, but also a luxury and then, a fashion: the bathroom has become one of the best Instagram friendly sets. Recently, the New Yorker talked about “Era del Bathfluence”a crasis between the words bathroom and influencer that tells a lot about how the bathtub has become the most photogenic of the objects to be exhibited on Instagram.

But if there is who how Lady Gaga uses it as a post concert remedy, but there are those who like Poppy Delevingneprefers to triumphantly post her own beautiful bathtub, as a new object of desire finally fulfilled.
For Gwyneth Paltrow then the bathroom is the most beautiful moment of the day, which he loves to indulge in every night before going to bed, often telling about it on social media. Could this be why his line of bath salts is among the best-selling in America?
The secrets for the perfect bathroom: time
The first essential ingredient for a bath ritual ad hoc is time. Carve out a moment in which you know you cannot be disturbed, it is the essential element to obtain the maximum relaxation.
The temperature
The water should be 37 degrees to be hot, but not too hot. The ideal after the gym or in case of tension and contractures is the bath in Epsom salts (can be found in herbal medicine): just add one or two glasses of magnesium salts to the tub water and remain immersed for at least 20 minutes.
The right ingredients to put in the water
Deborah Hanekampwho in New York is known as a real beauty guru for the bath ritual, has written a book of “recipes” to enrich the bath water:
“Oat milk, açaí powder, 3 cups of salt, amethyst and smoky quartz crystal, patchouli, lavender, lemon balm essential oils” to accompany a real ritual of diving, half-closed eyes and breathing. And the most classic of bathrooms thus becomes an ancestral rite.
