When temperatures soar, a warm bath might be the last thing on your mind - but hear us out. While we often associate bathing with cozy winter nights, a summer bath can be just as restorative and beneficial, both physically and mentally. With 14th June being International Bath Day, we’re celebrating the importance of bathing - no matter the season.
Here’s why summer is still the perfect season to soak:
Promotes Cooling
A lukewarm bath can help regulate your body temperature and cool you down more efficiently than a cold shower, which can cause your body to overcompensate by producing heat.
Reduces Stress & Muscle Tension
Long summer days often come with increased activity - think hiking, cycling, swimming, and travel. A soothing soak relaxes tired muscles and calms the nervous system, making it the perfect end-of-day ritual.
Helps with Circulation & Detox
Humidity and heat can cause swelling in the legs and feet. A mineral-rich bath helps improve circulation and ease inflammation.
Encourages Mindful Moments
Summer can be socially and mentally hectic. Stepping into a peaceful bath gives you a moment to slow down and reconnect.
Core Body Temperature Drop
A warm bath raises your body temperature slightly. After you get out, your body cools down quickly, mimicking the natural drop in core temperature that happens before sleep. This cooling signal helps trigger sleepiness.
Improved Sleep Quality
Research suggests that taking a warm bath about 1–2 hours before bedtime may help you fall asleep faster and improve overall sleep quality. The timing allows your body temperature to drop by the time you're ready to sleep.
