There is nothing better than turning off the lights and immersing yourself in the dark. Our body's biological clock is governed by the light precieved by our eyes. Under normal conditions, we should wake up and sunrise and sleep at sunset, but electronics and electricity upset this balance a bit. To bring your body's biological clock back into balance, you can turn off the lights and warm up the atmosphere with candles for a dim ambience.
Staying in hot water for a long time can dry out the skin. Therefor, it will be optimal to moisturize your skin directly after bathing, with a cream with a high dose of hydration. The knees, elbows and neck are areas particularly prone to dryness and wrinkles. Make sure you don't forget these areas. For smooth and soft skin, but also to reduce muscle tension, do not hesitate to go through a scrub beforehand.
