Post-Workout Recovery Self-Care for Moms: Ulta & BBW Muscle Soaks and Balms
8
items Picture the end of a long workout day: a hot bath, a muscle soak, then magnesium spray and balm on tight shoulders and calves. This post-workout recovery self-care list gathers Milk + Honey Sore Muscle Soak, HigherDOSE, ELEMIS and Oars + Alps from Ul...
My legs are toast after leg day, and a half cup of this in a hot bath is the only thing that actually gets me back to normal by morning. The eucalyptus and arnica combo cuts the soreness way down, and the dark glass jar looks nice enough that I don't...
Milk + Honey Sore Muscle Soak No.18 (Eucalyptus, Arnica, Rosemary, Sweet Marjoram)
Four sprays on my calves right after a run and I can actually feel the tightness let go within a few minutes, which sounds too good to be true but it isn't. I keep this on my nightstand because magnesium before bed also helps me actually fall asleep ...
HigherDOSE Transdermal Magnesium Spray
The rollerball on this one is genuinely brilliant, because I can massage it straight into my shoulders one-handed while I'm holding my coffee in the other hand. It goes on cooling and turns warm within a minute, which my husband steals constantly for...
Oars + Alps Muscle Recovery Balm
This is the only dry shampoo that's actually kept up with my gym sweat instead of just sitting on top of it looking greasy. I spray it in right after my workout, scrunch my roots, and I'm presentable enough for school pickup twenty minutes later. It ...
Batiste Sweat Activated Dry Shampoo
I pull this one out after a brutal Saturday workout followed by an afternoon of yard chasing the dogs, since it's noticeably more concentrated than the drugstore soaks I used to buy. A capful under running water and the whole bathroom smells like a s...
ELEMIS Aching Muscle Supersoak
I switched to this after my old aluminum deodorant kept giving out halfway through a HIIT class, and this one has genuinely lasted through sweaty workouts and the chaos of an entire day after. It glides on clear with no white cast on my black legging...
Blu Atlas 48-Hour Natural Deodorant
Nothing wakes me up post-workout like this shower gel, since the menthol gives an actual cooling tingle that a regular body wash just doesn't have. I keep a bottle in my gym bag for the days I shower at the club instead of dragging myself home sweaty...
Philosophy Eucalyptus Breeze Revitalizing Shower Gel
This is my go-to when my shoulders lock up from carrying a laptop bag and a gym bag on the same side all week. It's not a CBD product, just menthol and methyl salicylate, but it hits fast and the roll-on tip means I don't have to get oily hands into ...
