Aveda skincare lines combine Ayurvedic traditions with modern science and research for beauty and wellness as one of only a few brands that combine natural ingredients with scientific innovations.

Botanical Kinetics Deep Cleansing Clay Masque contains natural clarifying ingredients like sweet clover plant stem cells to reinforce skin layers and visibly shrink pores, while its low concentration of salicylic acid helps prevent breakouts.

Stress-Fix Body Creme

This ultra-rich body lotion from Aveda provides dry, dehydrated skin with the hydration it needs, while its aromatic blend helps reduce feelings of stress. Aveda’s proprietary Aromaology technique uses essential oils and pure botanicals to balance mind and spirit; lavender, lavender, and clary sage – certified organic varieties used for centuries to calm senses – combine with sustainably farmed algae extracts as well as certified organic shea butter and sunflower oil to soothe the senses.

Apply the balm directly onto dry skin and massage. This can be especially helpful in areas of the body that tend to tighten under stress, such as knees, elbows, or shoulders.

This product contains glycerin, an abundant natural moisturizer in our skin that helps it remain soft and supple while protecting it from irritation. Furthermore, this vegan-friendly formulation is free from synthetic fragrances, parabens, and phthalates; cruelty-free production was achieved using 100% renewable wind energy sources.

Jergens’ Eucalyptus Body Moisturizer may provide additional assistance with stress relief; its formula utilizes eucalyptus essential oils to promote relaxation, while the shea butter nourishes your skin and is available at Walmart and PETA-certified. Another option would be Thymes Eucalyptus and Aloe Body Lotion, which is suitable for vegans while free from parabens, synthetic fragrances, and phthalates – perfect for sensitive skin!

Gently massage into damp skin to produce a rich lather, then rinse thoroughly to avoid direct eye contact. Finish off your regimen with a body lotion of your choice – I’ve been using this product for about a year, and my hands have become noticeably softer! Though hard to come by in stores, the search was worth it!

Crafted with soy, olive, and safflower oils sourced from controlled organic farming, as well as rosemary lavender bergamot essential oils from organic cultivation along with pure flower and plant essences, Beautifying Composition Oil makes an aromatic bath and massage oil that can be applied directly after cleansing, or added now into running bath water for an enriching bath or massage treatment – perfect for sensitive skin!

Beautifying Composition Oil is an aromatic blend of lavender, ylang-ylang, and rose that will reenergize both body and mind. Perfect for soothing post-wax skin discomfort and use as a facial cleanser or makeup remover!

Botanical Kinetics Exfoliant

The nonabrasive liquid that gently wipes away spent skin cells to reveal a more refined complexion, this nonabrasive cleanser is excellent for all skin types (susceptible), including sensitive ones. Formulated with botanical ingredients to soothe and calm the skin, this formula is not harsh. AHAs such as glycolic and lactic acids work wonders on most skins except susceptible ones; BHAs like salicylic can treat conditions like dandruff, psoriasis, acne, and hyperpigmentation if these conditions exist; for best results, use after cleansing in place of toning. Apply a small amount to a cotton ball, then gently wipe the face/neck area, avoiding the eye area.

If you’re new to acid toners, I would start with something gentle like this or those from REN or Pixi and observe your skin’s response. From there, gradually expand to more powerful acid toners such as those from Clarins or REN until you find one that best meets your skin type – mine tends to prefer salicylic over AHA toners like those offered by REN; yours might respond differently depending on which exfoliants you use and what kind of skin type they target.
