Head-to-Toe Soothers: Step 1

Soak in the Tub
When you're feeling stressed, a leisurely dip can definitely take the edge off. "A warm bath that lasts at least 15 minutes releases feel-good endorphins, improves skin circulation, and reduces muscle tension," says dermatologist Zein Obagi, MD, founder of the Obagi Skin Health Institute, in Beverly Hills. Maximize the skin-softening effect of your bathwater by adding bath gel, salts, or oil.

Try: Ahava Placid Bath Salts, $19, or Aveeno Stress Relief Foaming Bath, $6.
