Our favourite products to soothe those tired muscles and ease those aches and pains. Plus any excuse for a long, hot shower right?

Mio Liquid Yoga (£26.00) helps with muscle fatigue, relaxing tight and stressed areas, and is made up of liquidised Epsom Salts and Arnica. Double the power, double the effect! And super convenient and mess-free in liquid form. Just go steady. We’ve been known to tip nearly a whole bottle into a hot bath without even realising!

Aveda Stress-Fix Creme Cleansing Oil (£11.00). Though it’s called a cream, this beautiful thing is a body oil, to be used as an aromatic wash in the bath or shower. It moisturises dehydrated skin with organic babassu and sunflower seed oils, and of course combines that unique Stress-Fix blend of aromas that are proven to reduce stress.

Weleda Arnica Muscle Soak (£12.95) uses the notoriously potent herb Arnica together with others such as rosemary and lavender to form a bath soak that soothes both mind and body. Quite literally. Pop a few cap-fulls into your bath as it’s running with hot water, breathe in and let it do its work.

This Works In Transit Muscle Therapy (£18.00) is a portable roller ball applicator that eases the aches and pains of tired muscles with a warm, deep heat. It’s the perfect handbag must-have for a gym-going girl.

Bells Epsom Salts (£1.79). Epson Salts are one of the most effective forms of muscle therapy around, and you can’t fault the price. Pick some up at your local chemist and get bathing!
