Hot baths have a soothing rep, but a Pantene survey revealed that showering does the job too, washing away tension for 72 percent of women.
Your action plan: For extra ahh, place a few drops of of jasmine or lavender essential oil on the shower floor and breathe deeply as the scented steam rises, suggests Donna Mastrianni, director of spa and fitness at Sea Island Resort in Sea Island, GA. When you do have time to fill the tub, try Aveda Stress-Fix Soaking Salts ($40; aveda.com), which contain calming lavender and clary sage.
