Press the pause button: 4 ways to relieve stress at home

TO TAKE A BATH

Feeling a little frazzled after a long week at work? Let your hair down - literally -in a warm luxurious bath. Add a cup of sea salt and a few drops of your favorite essential oil or fragrance. You can also opt for a foaming bath with soothing properties, such as Relaxing Foaming Bath with Kiehl's Lavender, Sea Salt and Aloe Vera. It contains moisturizing and conditioning ingredients that are helpful in maintaining optimal skin condition. Plus, the soothing scent of lavender is truly divine. Add two or three caps to running bath water and dive in. Don't forget to light some candles to create even more zen mood.

For a little pampering, lather your skin with cocoa butter after your bath. We love The Body Shop Cocoa Butter. Rich creamy formula leaves skin soft and nourished.

EXHAUST

There's something about exfoliating dead skin in the shower this is especially comforting. When you feel stressed, jump in the shower and lather up your body scrub. Try The Body Shop Fuji Green Tea Body Scrub. It infused with revitalizing green tea from Japan, and the aroma is very uplifting. Apply in circular motions two to three times a week for smooth, healthy looking skin.

GET YOUR PEDICURE

Pampering your feet is a great way to have fun (and pamper yourself). First, soak your feet in a warm bath filled with your favorite essential oil, bubble bath, or fragrance. Next use The Body Shop Peppermint Cooling Pumice Foot Scrub to remove rough, calloused skin from the feet. Peppermint oil provides a cooling sensation that leaves the feet feeling fresh. After the scrub, apply a moisturizing foot cream or mint-themed lotion. Finally, apply your favorite coat of nail polish - we love Essie Shades on from the spring collection 2016 - and voila, you're done!
