21 Calming and De-Stressing Beauty Products I'm Craving Right Now
As much as I wish it were true, you can't douse yourself in a gallon of lavender oil and expect to become a zen master overnight. Pity, I know. That said, it never hurts to tap into the calming and stress-relieving powers of targeted beauty products. We can't all escape today's health climate with a 12-day silent retreat à la Jared Leto, so I think it's safe to say we can use all the help we can get right now.
Some products are designed to alleviate overall stress, while others are made to calm the inevitable breakouts that occur while you're under pressure. (Cue the David Bowie and Queen song.) Whether you're into body oils, cleansers, face mists, bubble baths, or more, you can look for relaxing, soothing ingredients like lavender, chamomile, vanilla, cucumber, aloe, rosemary, or white lotus if you could use a little help in the stress-relief category. And isn't that all of us right now? Scroll down to shop the best calming beauty products right now.
This gentle mask is cool to the touch and great if you're dealing with redness, rosacea, dryness, or overall stressed-out skin. "Calming cucumber, chamomile and aloe blend together to soothe and hydrate," the description explains. It's like a tall glass of ice water for your skin.
Stress often leads to breakouts, but those with sensitive skin won't be able to tolerate harsh acne products. Enter this treatment gel that's made with breakout-busting salicylic acid along with maritime pine and thyme complex to soothe the skin.
"The Current Mood Moodpatch Kit features a range of products that work to contribute to both your mental and physical well-being," according to the product description.

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
