ELEMIS Aching Muscle Super Soak is a revitalizing bath treatment designed to ease muscle tension, support post-activity recovery, and elevate your self-care routine. Powered by a blend of essential oils traditionally used to help comfort overworked muscles, this soak delivers soothing warmth and aromatic relief after workouts, long days, or whenever you need targeted comfort. Whether you call it the ELEMIS Muscle Soak or the Aching Muscle Super Soak, it’s crafted to provide a restorative soak you can feel from the first bath. The larger ELEMIS Aching Muscle Super Soak 400ml size is ideal for regular use and consistent recovery support.
How It Works and Key Benefits
This soak combines essential oils and botanical extracts that help promote circulation, relax muscle tightness, and calm both body and mind. Juniper, rosemary, and lavender come together to deliver a comforting sensation that helps melt away tension and leave skin feeling refreshed, while echinacea extract supports overall skin wellness. The warming aromatic experience transforms ordinary bath water into a soothing ritual that promotes relaxation and recovery.
The balanced herbal and woodsy scent unfolds with steam, offering a spa-like aromatherapy experience that helps clear the mind and uplift mood. With regular use, ELEMIS Aching Muscle Super Soak helps you feel restored, relaxed, and ready for what’s next.
Size and Usage
Packaged for multiple restorative baths, the Aching Muscle Super Soak fits easily into your routine. Use approximately 2–3 capfuls under warm running water to activate the formula and create an aromatic soak without leaving residue on skin. Adjust the amount based on preference and how you feel that day.
How to Use
Fill your tub with warm water. Add 2–3 capfuls under running water so it disperses evenly and swirl to blend. Immerse and relax for 10–15 minutes, using deep breathing to enhance the aromatherapy benefits. After soaking, rinse lightly if desired, then pat skin dry and follow with a nourishing body lotion or oil to help lock in hydration and comfort.
Tips to Enhance Your Soak
Keep the water at a comfortable warmth of about 98–102°F to encourage muscle relaxation. Dim the lights and play calming music to deepen the sense of calm. After your bath, try gentle stretches to extend the feeling of relief, and hydrate with water or herbal tea to support overall recovery. Incorporating this soak into your warm-up or cool-down routine can help complement exercise and everyday muscle tension alike.
Who It’s For
Ideal for anyone seeking targeted comfort for tight muscles, sore limbs, or post-workout stiffness. This soak is suited for a wide range of lifestyles — from athletes and frequent exercisers to desk workers and anyone wanting a relaxing finish to a busy day. It also works beautifully as part of an evening ritual to help you unwind before sleep, offering both physical ease and mental calm.
