It always seems like the second your head hits the pillow, your mind starts racing. Suddenly, you're stressing about your insurmountable to-do list and sleep is nowhere to be found. Enter: Lather Quiet Night Relaxing Balm. This aromatherapy balm contains calming lavender, calendula and ylang ylang essential oils mixed with nourishing rosehip and sunflower oils.

Lavender is well known for its sleep-improving, anxiety-decreasing superpowers. Howard cites two studies that looked at the use of lavender for these purposes: "By simply placing a vial of lavender at the bedside of sleep-deprived patients, they found a decrease in blood pressure and heart rate, and an increase in sleep quality and quantity." In another study, lavender aromatherapy in a dentist's office greatly reduced patient's anxiety. "So, if lavender can help with these two groups, it stands to reason that we could likely all benefit from a whiff of lavender to ease the impact of our daily life stressors," she says.

While you're in the tub, work on your deep breathing. "Your lymphatic system gets a boost from these deep breaths," Wechsler says, which helps it deliver nutrients to cells, collect waste and fight off pathogens -- all of which can improve your skin's health. "Not to mention that deep breathing immediately helps restore your body to a state of calm," she says.

Just don't wind down with a glass or two of wine, as well. Clary sage, while non-toxic, is so relaxing that it can enhance the effects of alcohol.

"You can add a few drops of an essential oil into your warm bath and soak to evoke a state of relaxation and bliss," Wechsler says. Put a few drops of Dermalogica Stress Relief Oil into your tub, and let the soothing blend of sandalwood, lavender, clary sage essential oils take you to your happy place. You can also use this oil in lieu of a lotion, or for a relaxing massage.

When you're stressed, your body releases cortisol, a stress hormone that (among other things) makes it harder for your body to hang onto water. Meaning: your skin dries out.
