HOW TO DE-STRESS AND PREP FOR A PERFECT NIGHTS SLEEP
There isn’t enough time in the day is there? We want to get
everything done all at once before we get our vital sleep. Sometimes sleeping
isn’t even a priority. I know I can completely relate, as a busy day for me
will leave me with less than 5 hours sleep some nights. Obviously, this is
terrible and I nearly ALWAYS end up crashing one day out of the week. All the
missed sleep that week comes right back to bite me in the middle of the day, my
skin will break out and I’ll feel even more stressed.
This is why I came up with a night-time routine to de-stress,
relax and help me catch some major ZzZzzZZzzz.
DRINK A DETOX TEA
After drinking detox tea, I always feel refreshed. That same
feeling after coming out of a shower, is the same sensation I feel after
drinking this tea. My favourite is the organic detox by Pukka. A detox tea
contains Aniseed, fennel, cardamom and licorice root, to help flush away those
toxins while lightly catering to your sweet
tooth. Infuse for 15 mins and drink up!
SKINCARE
I use the Clinique 3 Step system tailored for my own skin
type, but what really makes the difference to my skin is my Magnitone LondonFacial Cleansing brush. I can clean my face, apply a facemask and more, but for
some reason it still isn’t clean. When I use the Magnitone, I find that makeup
and dirt slides right off my skin. You don’t realize how filthy your skin is
until you see the dirt drip off onto the brush. It scrubs layers much deeper
than your hands can get to making sure there is no left-over makeup or dirt
left on your skin.
I also use the Bubble-gum
flavour lip scrub by LUSH. Before using this I would constantly have dry or
chapped lips in the morning, I didn’t realise that a simple daily exfoliate could
drastically improve the moisture and the colour of my lips. Following this I apply The Body Shop Grapeseed Glossing Serum to my hair.
MULTI MASK
I always multi mask as my skin type VARIES throughout my
face. I tend to break out around my jaw, chin and forehead, which is why I like
to use the Retexturizing Rose Clay Mask by Origins. Due to my breakouts constantly
causing acne scars, this mask is perfect for a deep clean and refining my skins
texture. In all the other areas, I love to apply the Chinese Ginseng and Rice
Clarifying Polishing Mask by The Body Shop. This mask is perfect for providing
a deep clean and a soft finish.
NIGHT TIME JAMZ
No routine is complete without the relaxing music to put me
in the chill mood. I Made a perfect throwback R&B Jamz playlist to tailor
to my night mood. Making a playlist on Spotify
is free and easy! You should try it, plus it's the perfect prep for your shower
karaoke session.
STEAMY SHOWER ALWAYS DOES THE TRICK
Do you remember always falling asleep after a hot bath as a
child? Nothing has changed as an adult. The hot water is soothing all over and
will leave you begging for your bed. Personally, I prefer a steamy shower.
Baths are time consuming and as I mentioned before, there really isn’t enough
time in the day.
I Love to use the two-day moisture shower oil by Sanctuary SpaCovet Garden. It has a slightly warming effect (if your showers aren’t hot
enough already). When you rub it into your skin it feels like you’re having a
massage. It’s heavenly for sure, and my skin feels silky smooth after using it.
It doesn’t quite last two days for me, as my skin is naturally dry and
dehydrated. I found that the softness will last roughly 5-8 hours.

A COMFORTABLE MATTRESS
This is probably the most important part. You can’t get a
good night’s rest in an uncomfortable bed! If your mattress is super uncomfortable
(like mine) try laying on some fluffy pillows, or consider getting a new mattress.

and of course the Kings and Queens you are! You should check them out!
