Removing makeup before entering the hot springs bath increases the beautifying
effect.
Make-up prevents the pores of your skin from absorbing the beneficial minerals
that help to remove impurities and soften old keratoid skin. Removing your
make-up before entering the bath enables the special characteristics of
the bath to leave your skin with a creamy glow.

Reasons for applying warm tap water before bathing.
Applying warm water before entering the bathtub sends a message to your
body that you are going to enter the bath.
If you enter the bath without applying water, then your blood vessels will
suddenly expand, causing your blood pressure to drop. To allow the blood
vessels to slowly expand and significantly lighten the burden to the body,
apply water first to places furthermost from your heart such as the hands
and feet.
Also, warm water is important for cleansing the body. To avoid splashing
water on others, apply warm water while sitting.

Slowly warm your body by first submerging only the lower half.
The ideal style of taking a bath would be submerging half of your body
into the water at first.
The water pressure of the hot springs bath is greater than you think, and
if you submerge yourself to your shoulders, then the pressure will be felt
on your lungs, making it difficult to breathe and causing you to suddenly
feel woozy. By submerging only half of your body in the water at first,
you might initially feel dissatisfied, but you will soon begin to feel
warm as the blood steadily circulates through your body.

The appropriate length of time for total submersion is a key point to maximizing
the beautifying effect
The typical number of times for submerging the entire body is 1-2 times
with the ideal submersion time being no more than 10 minutes when the water
temperature is 42 degrees Celsius or higher. When the water is a tepid
temperature between 37 and 39 degrees Celsius, then you should spend no
more than 20 minutes in the bath. In either case, it is important not to
overdo it. While in the bath, try massaging the central arch of each foot
and the middle area of the palm of each hand. This will help your body
to relax and maintain a balance in the secretion of hormones.

Don't rinse off when getting out of the bath and only pour water on the
area below the knees.
You should rise slowly from the bath and allow the body to soak in the
minerals by not rinsing off. If you are a person with sensitive skin or
you feel a prickly sensation from the mineral water, then you should quickly
rinse off your body with warm tap water. Finally, pour cold water from
the knees on down to feel refreshed.
Note) Be careful to keep clothes from coming in contact with the mineral
water of the golden bath since it will stain your clothes with a deep red
color.

Replace the fluids lost during the bath
While in the bath, the ability of the minerals in the water to force out
bad elements is strong and can cause body fluids to become depleted due
to perspiration and the diuretic properties of the minerals. When replenishing
the lost fluids, be sure to drink light Japanese tea or mineral water to
avoid causing the blood to thicken.
You can promote soft skin by applying lotion after perspiration has abated
and the keratin portions of the skin are still moist.
