Zen moment

After your bath, smooth

Infusion Organique Body Lotion in Buddha’s Fig ($20) onto damp skin. It contains coconut oil to seal in moisture, so skin stays hydrated.

Fresh Citron de Vigne Oval Soap ($14) has a Champagne-inspired fragrance and a rich, moisturizing lather that turns everyday washing into an indulgent experience.

Store a cooling eye mask in your freezer, then slip it on when you submerge. It has chilled beads that reduce puffiness around eyes while you soak.

Add a few scoops of L’Occitane Lavender Bath Salts ($24) 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.

Exfoliate rough spots with Tillia Bath & Body Blackberry Plum Sugar Scrub ($16). Moisturizing aloe leaves your skin hydrated, and you’re sure to smile when you get a whiff of the juicy-sweet scent.

Lather up with the Earth Therapeutics Anti-Bacterial Flower Sponge ($5.99). It’s made with eco-friendly bamboo, which has natural anti­-bacterial properties.

The chamomile extract in Johnson’s Melt Away Stress Lavender & Chamomile Body Wash ($5.49; drugstores) helps to relax tense, sore muscles.

Set the mood with Mistral Balinese Vanilla Glass Scented Candle ($22). The vanilla scent puts you at ease, and the soft glow is better than overhead bulbs!
