How do I get warm after being in the cold?

I work in a grocery shipping business in the cold foods area. I am in temperatures from 32* or lower for about 9 hours a day three days in a row...My question is Lately I get cold there and cant warm my body with just blankets or the heater or basically being in normal temperatures. The best way is to get in a bath BUT it hurts the skin on my legs turns bright red and actually feels burnt. It goes away after a few hours (by the next morning) My question is..does anyone know a better way to warm up or something I can put on my skin to make it less irritated.

Update:

very good answers. I will try layers and different clothing but while I am working I do not feel cold at all. Thanks for answers so far.

    Get an electric blanket and allow your body temperature to rise slowly.

    The bath is not a good idea.

    A warming pad that you can sit on can help as well. This allows the heat to gently infiltrate your body tissues.

    Consider investing in some really good long underwear and alpaca wool socks. It will make a very real difference.

    I would be more concerned about prevention of getting cold. wear layers or better clothing.
