“Aromatherapy winter baths bring back the moments of summer when you feel more vibrant,” says Christy Booth Hierholzer, founder of Pura Botanica. “Combining mineral-rich sea salts and natural essential oils can be warming, calming and uplifting during a season known for depression and stress.” A sybaritic soak is an easy way to soothe the psyche, soften the skin and take some time for yourself.
