August is National Wellness Month, and with National Relaxation Day falling on August 15, it is the perfect time to press pause and make a little more room for self-care.
Whether that means creating a nighttime ritual, protecting your skin or taking a few minutes for yourself, small wellness habits can make a difference. For those looking to refresh their routine, LATHER offers a collection of clean body and hair care products designed to bring a little more relaxation into everyday life.

Independently owned and founded by Emilie Hoyt in 1999, the brand has created a spa-inspired experience at its Phoenix storefront in Uptown Plaza, which has been welcoming customers since 2019. The Phoenix location offers a respite from the desert heat, where visitors can stop in for a complimentary skin analysis, sample products and receive recommendations from LATHER’s team based on their individual skincare needs.

The store also offers a way to turn a shopping trip into a social self-care experience with complimentary Pamper Parties for small groups. The gatherings include mini treatments, botanical skincare education and personalized product recommendations, while the host receives a gift card as an added perk.

For those celebrating National Wellness Month at home, several LATHER products can easily be incorporated into everyday rituals. The brand’s Quiet Night Relaxing Balm, Quiet Night Pillow Mist and Muscle Ease Gel with Botanical Pain Relievers are part of its Wellness Collection and are designed to complement an evening routine focused on rest and relaxation.

As summer continues in Arizona, daily sun protection remains essential. LATHER’s Daily Defense Mineral SPF 50 Body Sunscreen offers an easy way to make protecting exposed skin part of a regular routine, whether the day includes time outdoors or simply a drive across town. Vitamin C Peptide Renewal can also be incorporated into a daily skincare regimen. The brightening serum is designed to help refresh the complexion as routines shift from the slower pace of summer into a busier season.

Ultra Mild Face Wash removes dirt and impurities without stripping the skin, making it a useful everyday option when skin is feeling particularly dry or stressed. And for an easy addition to any purse, desk drawer or nightstand, LATHER’s Lip Conditioning Balm helps keep lips moisturized throughout the day.
Wellness does not always require a major lifestyle overhaul. Sometimes, it can be as simple as taking a few minutes to unwind at the end of the day, giving your skin a little extra care or creating a routine that encourages you to slow down. Learn more at lather.com.
