Fa Cosmetics For Body

Everything they do should be an art, even a shower or bath as they relax and gently wash away the cares of our everyday world. Relaxation and regeneration are fast becoming the primary reasons for showering and bathing, as important as cleansing itself.

Showering and bathing are precious alone times...an opportunity to let the day's anxieties evaporate.

A bath should be a time for daydreams, never hurried, while showering is a faster way to feel invigorated and refreshed while getting clean.

Showering and bathing provide health benefits in addition to psychological benefits, as you'll see. What's more, baths and showers are inexpensive luxuries anyone can afford.

Showers and baths can create great moods. We'll show you new ways of looking at what you always thought of as common everyday showers and baths.

Exclusive Fa Fragrances
Fragrances are currently used as therapy --- aromatherapy. But emphasis on therapeutic fragrances isn't new: the ancient Egyptians, Chinese, Hindus and Tibetans practiced aromatherapy thousands of years ago. Fragrances can set your mood, giving you a lift or a letdown, which is why the makers of Fa created their superb, unique fragrances. Each puts you in a wonderful mood every day in every way.

Cleopatra, an inveterate bather, took mostly milk baths. Pity she couldn't use Fa Foam Bath instead!

The Shower Experience
Benefits of showering
Showers are a quick, easy way to get clean

They refresh and revitalize

They're excellent for improving circulation

Cleansing substances (e.g. surfacants) have no time to dry skin, or adversely affect it because they are instantly rinsed off

Showering Tips-

Showering for health and fun
Be sure to use pH balanced body washes or shower gels (ala Fa Body Wash, Fa Shower Gel) to minimize drying skin, which can result in signs of premature aging

If you aim the shower head down at your feet first, moving the shower stream up your body, blood circulation improves because the poorest area of circulation is your legs

Beginning your day with a cold shower improves circulation. Alternating hot and cold water can improve your immune system by allowing it to build more antibodies, making it easier for your system to resist disease

Alternating hot and cold water opens and closes your skins pores, maintaining its elasticity. According to some medical sources, proper blood circulation in problem zones (such as legs or hips) may reduce fatty tissue

When showering in the evening, use warm or hot water as a last phase, particularly on your feet. You sleep like a baby when your feet feel warm and cozy. A brief foot shower before bed produces the same effect

Gently massage your body with a loofah sponge when you shower. Loofahs slough off dead skin, smooth rough spots and stimulate circulation.  We recommend the Riffi Massage Mits, which set the industry standard in quality loofahs.

The Bathing Experience
Benefits of Bathing
Primary reason for bathing: relaxation, recreation and a sense of well being. Getting clean is merely a by product of bathing

Hot water opens pores and stimulates cell movement, a catharsis for your body

Water pressure stimulates blood vessels. Arteries expand so blood flows through them more easily. Organs are relieved so you relax more readily

Bath additives, such as Fa Foam Bath or Algemarin Foam Bath, contain ingredients that cleanse and pamper your skin

Special bathing tips for relaxation
and a great sense of well being

Don't stay in the tub too long, as an ultra long bath strains your circulation and hot water dissolves your skins natural lipids. There is a definite correlation of bath temperatures to length of time you stay in the tub, to the mood your bath leaves you in, so here are some recommendations....

Pregnant women should take cooler shorter baths, no longer than 5 to 10 minutes at a temperature of 95F to 99F. Hot water may raise body temperature above water temperature and cause harm

A great side effect of bathing: rough skin and calluses soften when immersed in warm water, so be sure to work these areas with a pumice stone or loofah sponge to smooth them down
