End of Summer Sizzle

Cool Down Bath x Mad Ritual

Whether you are spending the unofficial end of summer at the beach, on a boat or barbequing at home - a warm soak with a Mad Ritual bath bomb is one of the best ways to cool down and relax. 

Heating up to cool down may seem counterintuitive but research suggests a warm bath an hour or two before bedtime can help you unwind and fall asleep faster. The bath will lower your core temperature, a key circadian sleep signal, priming the body for rest.

Lukewarm or Cool Water

If you are feeling very overheated and in a rush, immersing yourself in water cooler than your body temperature is a quick way to transfer heat away from your skin. However, it is not the most relaxing experience. Nor would it allow you to absorb the benefits of extended head-to-toe CBD delivery that comes with a Mad Ritual bath bomb. 

Hot Water

Ease into a warm bath and allow the heat + CBD to relax muscles and joints. Hot water will cause blood vessels to dilate and bring more blood to the skin's surface in an effort to dissipate the heat. Allow the water temperature to cool gradually around you before getting out of the bath. For even more cooling, allow water to evaporate from your skin rather than toweling dry. This process draws heat away from your body without a harsh temperature change which could cause muscles to tense or cramp.

A formula to remember: Hot Water > Gradual Cool Down > Evaporative Cooling > Reduced Soreness + Better Sleep
