4 Ways to Escape (When Vacation Isn't an Option)

So it's been a long day. Words like tired, cranky, hot, and sticky sum up your situation. What you really need is a vacation, but what you can get, more realistically, is instant getaway gratification from out favorite beauty treats. Each promises on-the-spot relief, and you can indulge anytime you're feeling a little less than your best.

Naturopathica Arnica Muscle Gel: Banish the word Bengay from your mind. This cooling gel is anti-inflammatory and tingles on your skin in that fresh pepperminty way. It also helps sore muscles relax, so it's perfect for rubbing along aching, stiletto-tortured calves.

Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Eye Mask: Just about the best thing to ever happen to swollen undereye circles, these vitamin-C soaked patches rest on your skin so it can absorb all the de-puffing ingredients.

Kiehl's Acai Damage-Protecting Toning Mist: Spritz your face with this antioxidant-infused liquid to protect it from skin-damaging pollutants and give it a refreshing jolt.

Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller Gel: Ahhhh, the feeling of an icy-cold roller ball massaging the skin around the eyes is our idea of heaven. Fittingly, this handy stick rarely stays out of arm reach.
