Great Skin Starts With A Perfect Night's Sleep
Posted by Adam Meads, Sep 04, 2020
We all know by now how important a good night’s sleep is. For your health, your mood, how you feel, and your skin. Yet busy days, delayed kids bedtimes, not shutting your laptop whilst you're working from home on time can mean the end of the day often feels as rushed as the morning. And although we have nowhere to be apart from bed, and as tempting as it can be to dive under the covers as fast as possible, how often have you done that only to find yourself tossing and turning, or awake at 5am? We feel your sleep anxiety, having not had a proper wind down and we’re not here to crowd you with a complicated routine, but to help you get the most out of those midnight hours.
We champion sleep routines - parents do it for their kiddies (bath, book, bed), so when we’re talking sleep routines in general, we love a bath with a few drops of a sleepy Bath Foam (or Essential Oil Blend), and there is a lot to be said for prepping your room with a candle or diffuser too. All of these natural scents (and the warmth and relaxation of just ten minutes in the bath) will help you get those zzz’s. And SCIENCE AGREES, a little wind down routine in the evening reaps rewards in the morning. And if you want supercharged skin as well as dreamy sleep, here's how we created our perfect routine for sleepy skin.
Cleanse
It goes without saying that falling into bed, makeup still on, is a big skincare no-no. If your skin can’t breathe it can’t restore itself, and yesterday’s dull makeup will not produce the morning glow you’re after! We created our natural Perfect Night’s Sleep Cleansing Balm to lift dirt and grime. Rice powder adds a little extra exfoliation, while almond oil and shea butter leave you feeling really nourished.
Of course, it works with our unique blend of sleepy essential oils, so you are naturally prepared for sleep while you cleanse. Simply massage over your skin (including your eye make up) and remove with the warm cloth. See our tutorial. {link to nic video}
Nourish
We LOVE our Perfect Night’s Sleep Face Oil (and it’s not just us, it has won awards after all), and it’s the perfect follow-on from our Cleansing Balm. With a mega list of natural ingredients, it gives you deep nourishment and healing without leaving residue, and the vitamin-rich ingredients like sweet almond, olive, cranberry seed rosehip and coconut oil are great at balancing both dehydrated AND oily skin.
Plus, the antioxidants in sweet orange oil are what will really help to clear up lingering breakouts, and give you that glow back. If you’ve never tried a natural face oil before, it’s well worth taking the plunge.
Sleep
As you sink into bed, a final touch from our Perfect Night’s Sleep Wonder Balm will soothe any lingering dryness, and give you a little boost of soothing lavender and chamomile to help you relax and prepare for a good night's sleep. See you in the morning!
