20+ Soothing Products to Help You Make the Most of National Relaxation Day
Today, Aug. 15, is National Relaxation Day, and you can bet that as soon as the work day ends, we're planning to get extra cozy.
To us, relaxation means everything from practicing indulgent self-care and beauty routines to calming down, doing what we love and tucking in for a great night's rest. If you'd like to do the same, just keep scrolling to discover our favorite soothing products this National Relaxation Day.
Spongellé Spongettes: $12
For us, relaxation means eliminating extra steps from our routines, and Spongellé's Spongettes take all of the work out of a soothing, sensational body cleanse. Each slightly rounded, floral-shaped sponge is infused with a moisturizing and cleansing soap, coming in eight invigorating fragrances while gently buffing the body.

Herbivore Botanicals Calm Soaking Salts: $22
Is there anything more calming than a soak in the tub? When we're going for relaxation, we like gentle scents and natural ingredients, such as the ones found in Herbivore Botanicals' Calm Soaking Salts. Real Himalayan pink salt fills the water with nourishing vitamins and minerals, while the soft fragrances of ylang-ylang and vanilla are soothing without being overpowering.

Butter & Me Assorted Butter Melt Lotion Bar Bundle: $70
Feeling your coziest starts with being hydrated, both inside and out, and if your regular moisturizers aren't cutting it, we recommend Butter & Me's Butter Melt Lotion Bars. This incredible scent includes bars in four scents—Calm, Happy, Humble and Lovely—with a unique, buttery texture that melts into an oil with touch, leaving skin super moisturized but not greasy, with stunning natural scents.

Here at Sweety High, we love a good sheet mask, and this magical "Love Your Skin" Sheet Mask Kit from Rodial includes eight total in four different varieties.

Healing masks aren't just for your face, and maintaining healthy, glowing hair starts at the scalp, which is why we love this Balance Scalp & Hair Mask from Facetory.

It smells fabulous, too!

And if you prefer to get your relaxation in the form of a tasty, sippable drink, try Blue Bear's Functional Relax Drinks. Just the flavor itself, blending sweet and tart berries with mellow white tea, is quite soothing, but with L-theanine, lemon balm, lavender, passionflower and GABA, it also rapidly brings a feeling of calm clarity.
