The selection of clothes for a bath should be approached seriously, paying attention first of all to its functionality and the requirements that are placed on it.
Kilt for the bath
This accessory is definitely included in the bath set for men. It is presented in the form of a kind of men's skirt and is used in the same way as a sheet. But unlike her, the kilt holds securely on the belt and does not fall off.
A kilt is indispensable when visiting public baths, where it is undesirable to have direct contact with a regiment or bench. This accessory will also come in handy in your steam room to conveniently hide from prying eyes.
This accessory is made from natural fabrics - linen, cotton, waffle fabric. However, the best option is a terry model. They are very practical, dense, perfectly absorb moisture, soft and pleasant to the body.
When purchasing a kilt, please note that it should not contain any buttons, hooks or other elements made of plastic, much less iron. Having basic cutting and sewing skills, you can easily sew this product yourself.
Steam room hats
This attribute is one of the most important in bath procedures. The cap protects your head from overheating and your hair from drying out. It must be worn before visiting the steam room. IN otherwise you need to shorten your stay so as not to harm your health.
Typically, bathhouse caps are made of felt or felt. In commercial steam rooms, cotton or linen accessories are often offered as an alternative, but they are significantly inferior in their protective properties to products made from thick fabric.
As for the models of bath caps, they are traditionally presented in the form of bells, budenovkas, cone-shaped triangles, hats with brims, and caps. The last two options are preferred by women. Often, funny designs or funny inscriptions are embroidered on steam room hats to cheer up the mood of steamers.
Proper care behind the cap involves drying it after procedures and periodic hand wash in warm soapy water. It is not recommended to machine wash felt products. They break into small pieces.
Bath slippers
A visit to both a home and a commercial bathhouse is indispensable without this accessory, where hygiene and safety must be taken care of first. Slippers will protect against infection skin diseases. You can move freely in them and not be afraid of slipping. In addition, in slippers you will not come into contact with the cold floor.
The best option for the steam room - rubber or felt shoes. The latter type is usually included in ready-made steam room kits. But it is undesirable to give preference to plastic products, since they slip very much on a wet surface. When purchasing slippers, choose models that do not stick to your feet and do not rub your feet. They should be comfortable.
Remember that steam room slippers are an item for personal use. It is not recommended to give someone your shoes or wear someone else's.
After bath procedures, you should wear clean, changeable underwear made from soft natural fabrics, such as linen or cotton.
Bath accessories for water procedures

For these purposes, you can also use regular pumice.
Traditionally they are made from wood, plastic or silicone. Natural products healthier for the body, but have short term operation. Untreated wood, under the influence of changes in humidity and temperature, will soon begin to dry out and crack. Artificial models will last much longer.

- Green tea. This tea should not be brewed with 100-degree boiling water. It’s better to wait until it cools down to +80-85 degrees. In this case, the drink will be more useful. Green tea contains a lot of theine, which has a tonic effect. It is also rich in tannins, which relieve inflammation in the body.

- Natural kvass. This drink is considered almost traditional for the Russian bath. Rye, bread, honey or berry kvass is perfect to quench your thirst. You can buy it in a store or make it yourself from water, rye bread, sugar and yeast.
- Mineral water. Perfectly quenches thirst, contains salts and minerals. However, only water without gas is suitable for a bath.

What to take with you to the bathhouse - watch the video:
Selecting bath accessories is a serious process. Each individual accessory must be practical, natural and safe. Recommendations from experts and photos of the bath set will help you select all the components of the set so that your stay in the bathhouse is as comfortable, safe and healthy as possible.
To the bathhouse? "What's so difficult?" - you ask. Warmed up, washed, and went to the table with some soft drinks. This is actually too simplistic. Our Slavic ancestors knew a lot about the art of bathing. Today we decided to collect all their experience so that you can use it. There are a huge number of nuances, failure to comply with which leads to the fact that you do not heal your body, but, on the contrary, cause harm to it. Therefore, if you plan to take a broom to the steam room, then first read our article and find out how to go to the bathhouse correctly.
Preparing for the bath ritual
It can be called that way. For the Slavs, the bathhouse was an almost holy place. Sick people were brought here to heal them, a newborn child was washed in the bathhouse so that he would grow strong and healthy, the bathhouse was also flooded at the moment of a person’s death to wash him. Today we go to the steam room purely for pleasure, because every home has a shower and hot water, but the smell of warm wood and an oak broom cannot be replaced by anything else.
So, how to go to the bathhouse correctly? First of all, you should not eat enough before visiting the steam room. The last, light snack should take place no later than 1.5 hours before the event. Take some kvass with you, mineral water, compote or natural juice (for example, birch). But you need to forget about alcohol on this day.
A hot shower is enough to keep your body clean. The bathhouse is completely different, it is a place of power. The Russian bathhouse is highly hygienic and has medicinal value. However, you should not visit the steam room too often. It’s not for nothing that there is a generally accepted standard of going to the steam bath on Saturdays. Once a week is the optimal frequency. Moreover, the meaning of such an event is much deeper than simple washing of the body. Such regularity will help strengthen the body and avoid many diseases in the future.
Primary ablution
Speaking about how to properly go to the bathhouse, it is necessary first of all to emphasize the importance of preparing the body. That is, you don’t need to go straight to the steam room - first rinse yourself in a hot shower. In this case, the water should be warm enough. The optimal temperature is 38 degrees, this is enough to prepare the body for the upcoming test of high temperatures.
At this stage, the task is precisely to warm up skin, so save the soap and washcloth for later. The fact is that soap actively destroys the lipid layer, which is designed to protect our skin. By washing away this barrier, we leave the skin defenseless against the high temperature of the steam room, which will dry it out to parchment.
Cool head in a hot steam room
We continue to tell you about how to properly go to the bathhouse and take a steam bath. It is very important to keep your head dry. That is, when taking a shower, you should absolutely not get your hair wet. If you neglect this rule, you can easily get it. In general, all avid bathhouse attendants know that you need to put a hat made of natural wool or cotton on your head. By the way, it wouldn’t hurt to soak it in ice water and squeeze it out properly. This will provide even better head protection and prevent accidents. Now you are ready to meet the hot climate of the Russian steam room. Don't expect to sit here for a long time right away. This is not only unnecessary, but even harmful. During the entire time you are in the bathhouse, it is better to make 5 to 10 visits to the steam room, and spend the rest of the time in the pool or in the relaxation room.
What do we take with us?
Let's dwell a little more on what to take with you. It’s better to think about this in advance so that you don’t forget anything in a hurry at the last moment. First of all, you will need a towel and a mat for the steam room, as well as a special hat. Don't forget flip flops that are easy to put on and take off. It would be a good idea to bring a comb and hairdryer, soap, shampoo, shower gel, and clean clothes.
For women, the list expands even further with the addition of cosmetics, which fully reveal their properties in the bath. These are masks and scrubs, peelings. However, keep in mind that there are certain standards for how to properly go to a public bath. In your personal you can apply any cosmetical tools in a free sequence, but going into a public steam room with a mask on your face or a scrub on your body is disrespectful to others. You can apply them, but be sure to wash them off in the shower before using the steam room. But this does not apply to hair masks. Choose nourishing formulations, apply to strands and cover it all with a shower cap. And put it on top special hat for the steam room.
Steamed skin is ideal for applying moisturizing creams and masks, anti-cellulite and firming products. Therefore, take them with you to the bathhouse too. While the cream is absorbed, drink green tea, mineral water or juice. But it is better not to drink coffee and alcohol.
Getting used to the heat
Today we are talking about a classic steam room, where water pours onto the heater and the dizzying smell of leaves from a broom. And in order to easily endure the heat, you need to know how to properly go to a Russian bathhouse. In order for you to have the most pleasant impressions, you need to make the first adaptation run. The optimal temperature in this case is +60 o C, that is, the bottom shelf of the steam room is suitable. Lie on it and get used to the conditions. The first run usually lasts 3-10 minutes, so don’t be too zealous. For now, you just need to steam the broom, the most important thing is yet to come.
Second call: moving on to bath procedures
After you've had a good rest, it's time to go to the steam room again. Now the period of stay there can be extended to 10-15 minutes. During this time, you can not only sweat, but also try the healing power of a broom. To do this, it is best to go to the bathhouse together. Don’t forget: we take a steam bath correctly. Soaring with a broom (we'll tell you the rules now) is a procedure that not many people know today. At the same time, the expression “whip with a broom” is completely inappropriate here. For the procedure to be useful and enjoyable, you must first study this sacrament.
Broom massage
First of all, plowing of the person lying on the shelf is performed. In this way, the injection of hot air is achieved. The massage continues with shaking. This is shaking a broom under the ceiling of the steam room and briefly pressing it on the feet, lower back and shoulder blades. Now you can move on to whipping and light blows to the skin. It is imperative to alternate them with lingering strokes. An excellent type of massage is a compress. A hot broom is lowered onto the skin with firm pressure for 4-5 seconds. Do not forget that although this procedure is pleasant, you should not drag it out too much. 5-7 minutes is enough, after which you need to lie down for another 2-5 minutes, relaxing as much as possible, and only then you can get up and go to rest.
The bath evening continues
You don't have to go home at this point. Use the cosmetics you brought with you. Drink tea, relax, rinse in the shower - and you can go to the steam room again. Each subsequent visit may be longer. But each person is individual, watch your feelings and don’t try to stay there for too long. Maximum time in the steam room - it's 20 minutes.
Extreme temperature changes
Since today we are talking about the body, we must definitely talk about the favorite entertainment of the Russian people. This means diving into an ice hole, wiping yourself down with snow, and at worst, you can pour ice water on yourself from the gang. But! We must remember that this is a lot of stress for the body, so if you have just recently started going to the steam room, you should not test your strength. Start by swimming in the pool; the water in it is usually just cool. Gradually lower the temperature of the water used for contrast procedures. Hardening is a process that is designed to be beneficial, so approach it wisely.
Bathhouse - an assistant in the fight for a beautiful figure
All women have probably asked this question, so finally we will look at how to properly go to the sauna for weight loss. How can a steam room help you lose weight? It turns out that it is very simple: under the influence high temperatures there is a process of heavy sweating. The fluid leaves, and the body makes up for its deficiency by melting it from fat deposits and muscles. This starts the process of breaking down and removing fat through the pores. Of course, you won't lose much, and besides, strong thirst will force you to drink enough a large number of water, which compensates for the loss. But the running process is very beneficial for the whole organism. Today, the program has proven itself to be excellent, which includes a visit to the Russian steam room, then a cleansing peeling of the whole body and a manual anti-cellulite massage. This procedure ends with mud or
To summarize, I would like to add that the Russian people have honored the bath traditions for centuries, which means that it is very useful for us to continue the traditions of our great-grandfathers and go to the steam room. At least a couple of times a month. The bath strengthens the body and relieves numerous diseases, gives a second youth, lifts the mood, and has an effect on the skin almost the same as expensive salon treatments.

To store such accessories, you should choose dry and well-ventilated areas, away from open heat sources, to prevent them from drying out and cracking.

This is a special basin (barrel) made of wood, with a volume of 6 to 65 liters. It is used for ablution, and in some cases for steaming bath brooms. In private baths, it is recommended to provide each family member with a bath, taking into account the size and design of the product. In public baths, the number of wooden piles is determined by the area of the washing area.
Ladle
In public baths there are two buckets - for the washing room and the steam room. In the washing room, a large-volume ladle is used to collect water into basins or bowls; in the steam room, a small-volume ladle with a long handle is used for safely watering the heater. For those who like pouring, it is additionally recommended to purchase a 2-liter ladle.
The best option is a ladle made of wood or metal with a wooden handle. Plastic buckets are only suitable for wash bays.
Don't forget the washcloth
When carrying out basic and auxiliary bath procedures, it is difficult to do without a washcloth. A washcloth is used to cleanse the skin and perform a light tonic massage.
In the bath you need to use washcloths made of natural materials - loofah, bast and sisal.
Such products help improve blood circulation, gently cleanse and rejuvenate the skin. For young children and teenagers, it is better to use natural sea sponge.
In addition to the traditional washcloth, you can purchase a massage mitten. With its help, it is more convenient to massage all areas of the skin.
When performing individual bath procedures, it is recommended to purchase a medium-hard massage brush with a long handle. It is quite effective for self-massage.
Hats and shoes
To protect the head from heat stroke during procedures, special headgear is provided - made of felt, flannel, wool, linen and cotton.
A correctly selected hat should be soft and pleasant to the touch, not cause allergic reactions. Before visiting the steam room, the headdress should not be wetted with water to avoid overheating the scalp.
The hat needs to be washed periodically. Woolen and felt products are washed only by hand in warm water with the addition of a soap solution. You can unscrew the product with terry towel, dry - in a well-ventilated area, flattened.
Slippers are a must on the list. necessary accessories. A slipper for bath procedures can be made of plastic, rubber or foam. They are comfortable, practical and hygienic. It is better to choose models with a special grooved sole.

Towels and washing accessories
You can also use special towels with hidden Velcro as bath clothes. Such clothing is aimed at men and women; it may have special protective straps and patch pockets.
When carrying out any bath procedures, it is impossible to do without auxiliary accessories - soap, shampoos, shower foams, brushes, sponges and oils.
Soap and shampoo
When choosing cosmetic bath products, it is recommended to pay attention to their smell and quality. Bath cosmetics should not contain dyes or fragrances. It is better to give preference to completely natural ingredients that will not cause allergic reactions. The best option for a bath is tar, birch and milk soap. If desired, soap can be replaced with soft gel or shampoo.
Scrubs and masks
A visit to the bathhouse is an excellent opportunity to combine wellness and wellness. Enlarged and cleansed pores respond well to any cosmetic products, so you need to use special cleansing scrubs and nourishing masks for skin.

And according to tradition, any bath procedure ends with tea. The best option is green tea or any herbal drink. For brewing the drink, herbs that promote maximum relaxation of the body are suitable - mint, lemon balm, chamomile. This drink will fill the body with vigor and energy for the whole day.
It's no secret that for many people, a bathhouse is a great way to relax, relieve stress, and improve their health. But, unfortunately, not everyone knows what exactly needs to be taken with them when planning to take a steam bath. So, let's look at what to take with you to the bathhouse for both girls and men.
Sheet, towel and bedding
Out of ignorance, some of us take a sheet with us to the steam room as a bedding, which we will then wrap ourselves with. However, this cannot be done. The bathhouse requires a special bedding. This can be a large piece of fabric, preferably cotton, linen or flannel. This fabric will perfectly absorb the sweat generated in the steam room.
After the bath and in between steam baths, a sheet is just necessary. A large terry towel will come in handy after a shower.
Attention
After each visit to the bathhouse, for hygiene purposes, the bedding should be boiled and ironed with a hot iron.
Washcloth
You simply cannot do without this item in a bathhouse. After all, rubbing ourselves with a washcloth brings tangible benefits to our body. This excellent massager perfectly massages the skin, increasing blood circulation (especially in fatty deposits) and having a tonic effect. Experienced bathhouse attendants advise taking a natural, moderately hard washcloth with you to the steam room, for example, one made from loofah (the dried fibrous fruit of a plant).
But with the help of plastic corrugated palms that are fixed on the wrist, or hard terry mittens, you can effectively remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, making it softer and smoother. A special bath brush made from pork bristles is also perfect for this; it is attached to a small wooden board. For convenience, it is sometimes made with a long handle so that a person can rub his own back without turning to the help of others.
Soap and shampoo
What soap do you take with you to the bathhouse? Probably an ordinary toilet that you use every day. But real bath lovers know very well that there is a special bath soap. It differs from the toilet one in that it contains fewer perfumes and aromatic additives that can irritate sensitive, steamed skin.
Bath soap may contain: natural ingredients And medicinal herbs, which, in turn, has a healing effect on the skin.
You can revive and nourish dry skin with strawberry soap containing vitamin C and essential oils. Cleanses and disinfects pores well oily skin soap based on calendula extract. Find " mutual language» with mixed skin Raspberry soap will be able to, while leveling the pH balance and making it less sensitive.
Apple soap is suitable for any skin type. It gives the skin tone and improves its color. Soap with celandine and pine needles extract has a soothing and anti-inflammatory effect, which is good for problem skin.
As for shampoo, take with you the one you usually use at home.
Attention
You should not wash with a washcloth and soap before visiting the steam room. If you do not adhere to this rule, then hot steam will only harm your skin: after all, skin that is actively washed with soap and a washcloth becomes degreased, irritated and becomes drier.
cap
A bath cap protects our hair from strong steam and dry air. The best option will be if you choose a hat made of wool or felt. Although some people prefer to wrap their head in a terry towel. True, at the most inopportune moment such a “turban” can come undone, and you will have to build it again. And it often happens that a person has to adjust his headdress several times, and this, you see, is very tiring and distracts from the main procedure.
Slippers
Many people take rubber slippers with them, but such shoes are not advisable for a bathhouse, as you can easily slip in them.
Slippers should perform two tasks at once: reduce the slipping effect and protect feet from fungal diseases. Therefore, it is better to give preference to closed models with a textured sole.
Honey and butter
After a bath our skin needs good hydration and nutrition. For example, pamper the skin of the face and neck honey mask. As for the body, oils (walnut, almond, pine, etc.), which can make the skin smooth and velvety, will have an excellent effect on it.
Tea
During and after a hot bath, this tonic drink will help you maintain the balance of moisture in the body, increase sweating and quench thirst. It is better if you brew green tea instead of black tea and replace sugar with honey.
