There is nothing better than taking a relaxing bath. It is not for nothing that wellness is very popular and there is a large selection of special baths in hotels. But you don't always have to visit a hotel for a special bath; here we have a few tips for luxury baths in your own bathtub:

Fairy-tale bathing in roses

But roses not only make the complexion appear flawless, the soothing ingredients of the rose petals also pamper the soul, have a calming effect and cleanse the skin. It is not for nothing that a rose bath is considered a wellness offer in many health resorts.

But also milk and honey know how to bring body and mind back into harmony. They not only refine bath time: the valuable substances in milk and honey wrap themselves around the skin like a protective coat. The milk protein smoothes and soothes the skin, the lactic acid additionally binds moisture and the honey nourishes the body.

Especially in winter, when the skin is stressed by heating air and cold wind, a rose-milk-honey bath is highly recommended. Together with a good book, some candlelight and perhaps a delicious tea, you can now enjoy your wellness time to the fullest. Here we have a few recipes to treat yourself to wellness within your own four (bathroom) walls:
