They will prepare hams (89 million), bake cookies (1.7 billion), write Christmas cards (2.3 bil lion) and wrap nearly 3 billion presents! With holiday hullabaloo in full force, “tis the season to be downright exhausted. This year, the bath-care experts at Yardley remind holiday-weary Americans that they can and should take time out for themselves. A luxuri-, ous, stress-relieving and inexpensive “vacation” in the tub could be just the answer. “Tub bathing is becoming recog nized as one of the easiest and most effective ways to give your mind and body a break,” says George Ziets, vice president of Yardley Bath Research “With this in mind, we have created the Yardley Bath Shoppe, a collection of toiletries designed specifically to enhance the therapeutic benefits of bathing.” According to a Gallup Survey, the number of women making time for a relaxing bath nearly doubled. from 1991 to 1992. Tub bathing, Ziets says, increases circulation, relaxes over- worked muscles and is a visual anacea for the harried mind. The Yardley Bath Research team recommends these tips for a relaxing bath: * When filling the tub, leave 8-10 inches of space at the top for water dis placement. * Draw a warm bath. The ideal tem- perature is 95 to 100 degrees. Hotter temperatures can dry out skin and, if you're pregnant, could cause unneces sary shifts in circulation and blood pressure * Spend 10-15 minutes in the tub Baths extended past 20 minutes can dehydrate the skin * People with extremely dry skin should limit tub baths to 2-3 times a week. All bathers should rehydrate skin after bathing with body oils or body lotions * It is better to bathe in “soft” water. « Minerals in hard water interact with the fats in soap to produce an insoluble pre cipitate (“soap scum”) that can leave a residue on skin. If you have hard water, consider installing a water-softening mechanism or adding softening prepa: rat such as Yardley Bath Shoppe Bath Salts, directly to the water. * Prime bathing time is late after noon or early evening, when you can wash away the stress of a busy day and rejuvenate for an evening of festivities. * Consider adding herbal extracts to the bathing ritual, thereby enhancing the therapeutic properties of tub bathing. Choose bath products like Yardley Bath Shoppe Shower & Bath Gel with camomile for calming effects and Body Splash with’ ginseng for a feeling of well-being * Get the most from your time in the tub by using a pumice stone to smooth rough heels and sides of feet. Use a loofa to slough away dry skin on arms and legs, allowing new skin to surface HOLIDAY RELIEF is a soak in the tub away. Enhance this calming, therapeutic ritual with glowing candles, soft music and fragrant Yardley Bath Shoppe salts, gels, soaps and body lotions. —1L.93942/ Hunreds of dollars worth of savings on food, clothing, travel, towing, consulting, contractors, advertising and much much more 130 area businesses are represented.
