You’re still not going to be completely 100% clean and tubs are dirty, too.
alright
I would love to show all y'all who are freaking out over a bath not being 100% clean the inside of the water lines that transport you the "clean" water coming out of your shower. Or the fact that all the water that exists on the planet has been urine. Or the fact that your entire bathroom is coated in a tiny fecal particles.
My point is there's no reason to obsess over being 100% clean and s*** like that.
In a public bath its courtesy to shower beforehand. In a private bath it's just preference.
And while I'm here talking, it's important to not go balls to the walls with products when bathing. Too much soap and such will absolutely destroy your skins microbiome. Very quickly you can end up drying your skin way the f*** out with soaps, then find yourself buying wild moisturizing stuff in an attempt to rectify the dryness, but now your skin is over-saturated with oils and it's struggling to get rid of them, and then it;s dry again, etc.
It's important to not start running on the skincare treadmill (shoutout the hedonic treadmill) because in this instance less is more.
Ppl in the PPOY thread were saying "maybe veganism the wave if it makes ya skin so nice" when I posted a selfie and I think that helps me a lot with my nice skin but really I think the biggest thing is that I just don't stress it out. I almost never wash my face with soap/cleanser, only water and scrubbing, and I only moisturize with coconut oil. Simple as.
Can't get the 90s r&b rain effect by taking a bath. Makes the karaoke experience less effective
brought my heartrate down from 151bpm to 97bpm in a matter of a few minutes in the middle of my second sauna session at the baths earlier today
i gotta say it feels really cool to be able to do that just by breath alone
I’m washing off in the shower before I lay down in the tub, I shower daily so no I’m not a nasty nigga but something don’t sit right with me about laying in my filth

ay whatever makes you feel relaxed that's the important part
baths is a time of leisure and comfort
bathing is blessed
i have a membership to a local bathhouse and I go weekly
first a shower to cleanse myself before getting in any shared space of the bathhouse
then 15 minutes in the sauna with a linen scrubby pad manually exfoliating every inch of my skin as sweat absolutely pours out of my pores
then a cold plunge for as long as I can take
then soaking in the hot tubs and stretching
then back in the cold plunge
that's one 'circuit' and I try and do it twice
this is all while focusing acutely on my breathwork to help expand my lung capacity, grow my control over my parasympathetic nervous system, increase the size of my nasal passages, and acclimate my body to high oxygen and then high carbon dioxide all while under the additional stress of extreme temperatures
im also usually really high and possibly drinking so yeah. get on my level of woke debauchery
btw a mask in a really hot sauna actually helps cool the air before you inhale so you can take quicker deeper breaths
cuz when I'm inna sauna I run that s*** so hot it burns your nostrils if you inhale too fast

do not liken my posts to that cesspool please
i love taking hot baths after a workout. gets the extra sweat out, makes me drowsy and gets me ready for bed.
i put my laptop next to the bathtub and play interesting youtube videos to keep me entertained while i bathe for ~45 minutes.
they don't replace showers though
Bath time
what a coincidence im hitting the baths after physical therapy later today
