When aiming to promote health and prevent disease, it is extremely important to differentiate between good and bad hygiene habits and to establish the first one as a personal habit. The bathroom is very important for proper skin care, among other things. Keep in mind that the skin is more than just a protective layer of the body – it contains sweat glands that drain moisture when it’s hot, in order to keep the body cool.
One should bathe or shower once a day: to remove dirt, dead skin cells and bacteria that can cause infections and for the stimulating effect that the bathing has over the circulation, muscles and nerves in the skin. The choice between shower or bath may be made in terms of taste, time available and water conservation. A bath can be relaxing, help with sleep and ease tension, while in a shower the water is constantly fresh and clean. Before taking a bath, a shower should be taken to remove dust and other substances.
Under the shower, start by softly and strongly massaging the body from toes to neck. It will reactivate blood circulation and clean the skin, which could be rough and scaly. Finish showering with cold water – colder water is stimulating.

Vinotherapy is mainly based on the properties of grapes; each component of the grape offers several advantages, acting together give the skin a healthier appearance. Vinotherapy is used in different treatments like thermal baths, sweat wraps, body massages, peels and others.
For a vinotherapy bath, the first phase consists of our body exfoliation process, which uses grape seeds to remove dead cells and impurities, and activate cell regeneration in a natural way. The cream is rubbed on the body, with emphasis on rough areas like elbows and knees, and then removed with warm water.
In the second step, we use massage oil made of grape seeds. It decongests and increases blood circulation, as well as the temperature of the skin, by improving its physiological state. Grape seed oil nourishes mature and undernourished skin, bringing softness and smoothness. Its content of essential fatty acids gives the skin flexibility, helping to slow the degeneration of tissues.
Finally, a deep massage, extending upwards toward the heart from the feet and knees to the thighs, abdomen, chest, neck and arms, is given. The entire process takes about two hours.
