Schoeller Martin We're all for efficiency, but sometimes a good soak is just what your body ordered. Here's the truth: taking a bath is way less practical and efficient than taking a shower. It’s like taking a cross- country sleeper train when you could fly in a fraction of the time, not to mention that you’re basically floating in a mixture of your own dirt and whatever was at the bottom of the tub. Plus your fingers and toes are going to get prune-y. But sometimes the body demands a prescriptive dunk—to calm muscles, nerves, and even skin. And those are the times when filling the tub and taking it slow is absolutely necessary. Here's your guide to knowing which of them require a good soak: 1. When Your Body Aches For athletes and the generally achy, an Epsom-salt soak is like aspirin for the entire body. If your muscles or joints are sore, draw a hot bath and pour in some EPSOAK SPORT, or a similar Epsom mixture . The magnesium and sulfate blend reduces inflammation , sp...

Beauty brands not native to America have invaded the market over the past few years — occupying prime shelf space everywhere from Sephora to Target. But instead of erecting walls to keep outsiders at bay, U.S. consumers have wholeheartedly embraced the hair, makeup, and skincare crazes from foreign lands as if they were their own. (Perhaps beauty products are even better than an olive branch?) Korean beauty, for example, is such a big hit that several stores (like Nordstroms) have devoted precious square footage to the country’s cosmetic exports, while K-themed pop-up shops (like Glow Recipe’s Glow Studio in New York City) and subscription services deliver goods straight to your door (there’s Soko Glam’s Klog Box and Mishibox to name two popular options ) abound from coast to coast. But Korean companies aren ’t the only ones interested in expanding their territory and capturing the hearts (and complexions) of an adoring American public : Argentina, Brazil, Britain, Canada, France, an...

It seems like more and more brands are taking the conscious (and ecologically-friendly) effort to give you skin care, makeup, hair care, and even bath products that are formulated free of harsh chemicals, irritants, artificial ingredients, colorants, and fragrances but still perform the way you would want them to—i.e. the same way those conventional beauty buys you’ve used for years do. The concept of going clean, so your skin doesn’t absorb chemicals, is one that we only expect to keep growing in popularity. It is Earth Month, after all. One area of your beauty routine that you might be interested in swapping out conventional products for organic, natural, or eco-considerate? The tub! Think about it—you’re taking a shower or soaking in a tub to cleanse your skin of dirt and debris and experience a soothing, relaxing spa-like vibe, so it would make sense to do so with a product that’s clean of as many chemicals and artificial substances as possible! Whether you’re going for a body w...
