BASE interviewed Dr Kubicka about the concept of bath prescriptions, tailor-made combinations that are created to help the individual’s skin concerns – exfoliation, hydration and nourishment – as well as providing general emotional and psychological impact.

Which skin issues can you treat with a bathing prescription?

We have prescriptions rich in anti-inflammatory activities which is great for acne prone skin as well as those regulating sebum production, dry skin with mixtures rich in hydrating and nutritional substances and ageing skin with prescriptions of a high concentration of vitamins and oils.

How do bathing prescriptions help with nutritional issues?

The most important issue is intoxication from heavy metals which is a very common condition and can be difficult to treat with conventional methods. There are many ways in which we are exposed to heavy metals – cooking in aluminium pans, storing foods in aluminium containers, fish, drinking tap water, flying and air pollution being one of the main culprits.

The long-term health issues that develop as a consequence of constant exposure can be fatigue, anaemia, depression and hair loss. Detoxing baths can help with removing toxins from a person’s system. Magnesium salts can be a great way of supplementing this mineral through the skin as well as vitamin C with its antioxidant properties.

How quickly can clients expect to see results after they start using their prescription?

Depends on the concern. If it’s muscle tension, insomnia, anxiety or dry skin the improvement can be noticed even after the first bath. If it’s more complex then usually after a few sessions.

It is important to treat it as a regular treatment rather than therapy. Once a week is a minimum to see the benefits. Best results are achieved when used 2-3 times a week.

How long do you need to soak in the bath to reap the benefits?

The best time in the bath is anything between 15-25 min, longer than that can cause opposite effects.
