Youthful skin? Relax and soak it in 🛁💆

Here's an easy DIY project to melt away your stress — and give you glowy skin for the holidays If you would like to unsubscribe click here: This time of year can be nonstop, {NAME}... And the stress of your growing list of “to-dos” can really do a number on your skin... I’m talking deeper wrinkles and a dull, flaky complexion. That’s why today is all about treating yourself to some well-earned "me time"! Now, I think we agree one of the best ways to unwind is by taking a bath. And to really kick them up a notch, I have one simple trick… BUT it’s a bit unusual. It involves Epsom salt to ease your muscles… Coconut oil for soothing hydration… And a pinch of essential oil for relaxing aromatherapy. No, it’s not a science project… It’s a bath bomb. If you’ve never used a bath bomb, they help with: 🛁 Deep Hydration ~ coconut oil contains ultra-nourishing fatty acids like lauric acid and linoleic acid. 🛁 Silky Skin ~ baking soda helps to soften skin and purge bacteria, dirt, and oil from your pores. 🛁 Beauty Sleep ~ the essential oils can boost melatonin, which helps you wake up looking refreshed. And best of all, bath bombs help to melt away the stress… Relaxing those overworked facial muscles we tense without realizing… Which visibly softens the appearance of wrinkles around your forehead, eyes, and lips! And the good news is, they’re fun to make — and you probably have what you need in your pantry! Introducing my favorite recipe for… Step 1: Gather your ingredients Okay, here’s what you need: – 4 ounces of baking soda – 2 ounces of cornstarch – 2 ounces of Epsom salt – 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of water – 1 1/4 teaspoons of coconut oil – 2 silicone bath bomb molds – 2 ounces of citric acid – 5-10 drops essential oil of your choice (I like lavender or eucalyptus) You can pick up any of these in most big box stores or online retailers. Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients Whisk the baking soda, cornstarch, Epsom salt, and citric acid for a minute or so until there are no more clumps. Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients In a separate bowl, give the coconut oil a quick melt in the microwave first (8 seconds should do the trick) then mix in your water.  Step 4: Mix Wet and Dry Together Okay, this is the step where you have to be careful, because you don't want the bath bomb mix to bubble prematurely. (Otherwise, you won’t get that fun fizziness in the bath!) The trick is to pour the wet into the dry, slowly — just a little bit at a time. Then mix with the whisk immediately to stop any bubbling. Keep pouring and mixing until all the wet ingredients are mixed in.  Step 5: The Big Test Grab a small bit of the mixture and press it together in your hands. If it sticks together and smoothes out, you have enough moisture! If the mix is dry and crumbly and doesn't stick to itself, you just need to add a bit more water. (Pour it in small amounts and continue mixing.)  Step 6: Filling and Packing Your Molds Add small amounts of your mixture to the mold and pack it down with a spoon as you go.  Step 7: Drying and Storing  Once your bath bombs are packed into the molds, let them dry on the counter overnight. You want them to be completely dry and hard as a rock. (If the bath bombs are still soft, you'll be able to apply pressure with your finger and feel it sink in a bit.) Once they're fully dry, gently push them out of the molds and store them in an airtight container. Then whenever you need a little “me time” just draw yourself a warm bath and drop one of the bath bombs into the water. You can light a candle… Maybe grab a book… Whatever sounds best to fully relax and recharge. (FYI — aim to keep your bath in the 100-105°F temps, anything above that can dry out your skin!) So give this little recipe a whirl, {NAME}. In no time, you’ll have a rejuvenated glow that shines through the holidays! Your Beverly Hills MD, Dr. Payman Danielpour P.S. By the way, this bath bomb recipe is totally customizable! For example, you can swap coconut oil for olive oil because olive oil's fatty acids and vitamin E help the skin retain moisture and support the skin barrier. Or if you want to really spice things up — add a drop of food coloring to your mixture and turn them into your favorite color!
