Steam, salt, and shea — three small treatments for a body that earned them.
Read it once. Do it slowly. The pace is the point.
Place it on the floor, away from the direct stream so it lasts the whole shower. Breathe through the nose, deep and slow.
If a full bath isn't on the table, run a basin of warm water with two scoops of bath salts and soak the calves while you sit on the edge of the tub.
Recovery isn't a separate event from the workout — it's the second half of it. I made this sequence for my own legs after long days on the salon floor. Steamers open the breath. Salt pulls the tension out. Butter holds the moisture in. Twenty minutes total. Tomorrow's body thanks you.
Coin-sized scoop. Press into still-damp skin, one limb at a time. Slow circles where the soreness lives — never rough, never rushed.
A short, scented threshold between the bed you left and the day you owe nothing to yet.
