Posted by on

A candlelight bath is a luxurious, calming experience that can help you unwind and relax after a long day but it does take a bit of effort to set the mood. However, It’s an ancient ritual that has been used for centuries to promote health and wellness, so why not take advantage of it? With a few simple tips, you can create the perfect candlelit bath experience right in your own home.

Select Quality Candles 

When it comes to candles, quality matters. Not all candles are created equal. Some burn faster than others or emit a foul odor when lit. Make sure you select high-quality ones that provide clean, pleasant scents when lit. Consider buying soy or beeswax candles—both of which burn longer than paraffin ones and don’t release any potentially harmful toxins into the air when burned. 

Soothing Music 

Nothing sets the mood for relaxation better than soft, soothing music. Choose calming music that won’t distract from the tranquility of your candlelight bath. Classical music and instrumental jazz are excellent choices. Nature sounds such as rainforest ambiance and ocean waves work well too. If you need help finding good music for your bath, consider searching for “relaxing music” on streaming services. 

Decorate The Bathroom

The more time you spend in preparation for your bath, the more likely you are to enjoy it thoroughly once it begins. Consider setting up a few decorations in your bathroom to add special touches that further enhance the mood of relaxation and calmness while bathing by candlelight. Hang some twinkling Christmas lights around a mirror or place a few trinkets around on shelves or counters to give off a relaxing glow in addition to your candle’s light. 

You may even want to play with aromatherapy. Certain essential oils can be used during baths as well. Products like the Better Bath Better Body bath soaks come in a wide variety of scents, so you are sure to find something that you will enjoy.   

Setting The Mood 

You can set the mood for your bath by dimming the lights and making sure your bathroom is as quiet as possible. Then, play soft music or white noise. Next, light some scented candles or incense—lavender is always a good choice! Finally, fill up your tub with warm water and add some essential oils for an extra layer of relaxation.
