Yoga mats can contain a lot of bacterias, so keep yours clean. There are numerous cleaning products for yoga mats on the market. However, I prefer to make my custom mat cleaner once I put my body onto it, especially my face. It is so easy to prepare, and you can combine your favourite essences, making your wellness potion.
