Invigorating Products for the Bath

Want to wake up without a cup of coffee? Try using an invigorating aromatherapy product as a natural way to boost your energy and mood.

Here are a few favorites:

Body Scrub/Granular Exfoliant

After a long workout or a hard day, try an invigorating shower instead of a soak in the tub. While showering, use a granular exfoliant to remove dead skin and leave your body feeling smooth. Using your hands or a washcloth or sponge, massage the exfoliant into your body in a circular motion, then rinse and follow with lotion.
