Runner’s Recovery Ritual: Post-Workout Self-Care
Whether it’s a morning jog, a long-distance run, pilates class or walk in the park what you do after your workout is just as important as the time you put in. A good recovery routine helps ease tension, prevent soreness and reset both body and mind. Here's our tips on how to make it a ritual and a healing part of your routine.
1. Soak the Tension Away
For a soothing recovery, Shinrin-Yoku Bath Salts are the ultimate way to ease muscle fatigue and tension. Packed with magnesium-rich Epsom salts and Dead Sea salts, this blend helps:
Relax sore muscles and aid recovery
Reduce inflammation and stiffness
Replenish essential minerals lost through sweat
Create a moment of calm with grounding notes of cedarwood and oakmoss
A soak in these mineral-rich salts isn’t just indulgent, it’s a recipe for recovery.

Tip: Spray our Mezame shower spray when the steam from the bath rises to enjoy the therapeutic benefits.
2. Reset with a Cleansing Ritual
Post-workout showers should feel as good as the workout itself. Our Cleansing Bars wash away sweat while leaving skin soft and hydrated, plus they're packed with hero ingredients that buff, detoxify and soothe.
Tip: add our All-Over-Oil into your bath for a nourishing, sensory experience.
3. Set The Mood For Recovery
Scent has a powerful impact on relaxation, and lighting a candle can be the perfect way to signal the start of your recovery time. The soft light of the flame and your favourite fragrance help shift your body from workout mode to wind-down mode.
For post-exercise relaxation, our Onsen Candle, inspired by Japanese hot springs, has the perfect blend of peppermint, eucalyptus and mandarin to bring a fresh, revitalising aroma that helps clear the mind and refresh the senses. Perfect after a long run or a workout.
4. Pack Your Bags
Packing your bags the night before can be the motivator to get up and out. Packing an air freshener inside helps keep unwanted aromas at bay so you’re always greeted with a clean, uplifting scent when grabbing your kit. Tuck one into a pocket or attach it to a strap for a quick refresh between workouts.
