Can You Soak Away Your Stress?

January 9th, 2012

Many women and an increasing amount of men know that one of the ways to destress at night is to take a relaxing bath. But there is more to it than a tub full of warm water. True, water is the first step, but additional elements can help to make your soak even more relaxing. For instance, a cooling eye mask can help eliminate the puffy build up around your eyes. Keeping one in your freezer or fridge makes it easy to keep it prepared for your relaxation time.

“After your bath, smooth onto damp skin. It contains oil to seal in moisture, so skin stays hydrated. Add a few scoops of bath salts to your bath. The salt blend contains magnesium, a mineral that has been shown to increase levels of the mood-boosting hormone serotonin when your skin absorbs it from water.”
