How to Make a Perfect Hot Oil Bubble Bath







1. Put a rubber mat in to prevent slipping.

2. Fill the tub with water that is toasty warm but
not too hot.

2. Pour in your favorite suds maker, bubble
bath soap or even dish washing liquid.

3. Add one cap full of baby oil. It will stay on the
surface mostly but what drifts onto you will
leave your skin silky soft and moisturized. The
steam will open your pores to dee
pen the effect.

This following skin prep is
reprinted by permission from
www.mangoboss.com, and
modified for legs.

1. The key to a great shave is
preparation. You must prepare
your legs first.

2. Preparation starts with
cleaning the skin. Why? If your
legs are dirty, then when you
shave you increase the
chances of infection. The
bacteria gets into the cuts.

3. Open the pores. The hair
follicles, think of them like a
shovel stuck in sand on the
beach. You need to loosen the
spikes up before you pull them
out. To open up your pores,
wash the leg with warm, then
warmer water. You can if you
have time, apply a hot towel to
your legs or shave right after
you get out of the shower.

4. While the pores are nice and
open, apply a good thick
cream. It's best to apply it
warm too. You can warm it up
by heating up a cup of water in
the microwave (2 minutes),
then put a piece of thin cloth
over the hot cup. Squirt the
cream on top of the cloth for
about 10 seconds to warm it
up.

5. Apply the cream to your
warm skin.

6. Then, and only then, start to
shave.


7. The above applies if you use
commercial shave cream. If
you want to use a brush, you
don't work up a lather in your
hand. You work up the lather
in a little bowl with your
badger hair brush. You heat
the brush first by leaving it in a
cup or bowl of hot water while
you prepare your face as we
went over earlier.  Why
badger hair? It's soft, it holds
water more easily than other
hairs.


You don't have to spend a
fortune on badger hair
brushes. We found one for $10
at  
http://www.beautyrose.com/t
wdeshbrform. Some people
also forgo badger altogether
and use boar bristles. These
work but they're not as good
as badger.
