Resting is really very important, but it's not always easy to maintain this balance, because we are restless, worried, with lots of tasks and a thousand thoughts in our mind and we can't switch off (the story of my life). Sometimes we even lie down, tossing and turning in bed without knowing how to calm our mind and relax our body…
When we don't sleep and this state of alert becomes recurrent, we soon feel our body weaker, more tense and tired, our immune system becomes weakened and this is reflected in our skin. Sleeping well means that we reinforce our immunity and is like a reset button . During sleep, our body detoxifies, balances hormones, stabilizes blood pressure, strengthens immunity and releases dead and damaged cells. Our body will become more resilient and allow us to better deal with daily stress.
I think it's really important to be able to work on our emotions, to take care of ourselves (from the inside to the outside), so I wanted to share with you some “tricks” to help you rest better and with more quality:
A CUP OF CALM AT THE END OF THE DAY OR AFTER DINNER
Anyone who knows me knows that I drink the Calma mix religiously at the end of the day or after dinner (for me it works almost like a dessert, the cocoa flavor has a sweet and cozy effect) see the recipe here . This chocolate-flavored soluble drink is full of superfoods and medicinal plants that will help you feel less anxious, calm and with an incredible sense of well-being. A good starting point to create the perfect mindset for a good night's sleep (while satisfying any craving for a sweet treat)!
SELF-CARE BEFORE BED
Start by doing your self-care or beauty routine , it doesn't have to be long and time-consuming. I do this ritual before going to bed and it doesn't take more than 5 minutes!
It can be a moment of relaxation: ideal for cleansing impurities, toxins and pollution from an intense day. I use the facial towel with Ilumina or Detox serum, normally. The steam created when you apply the hot towel to your skin is simply extraordinary and relaxing!
Another moment of relaxation can be with the rose quartz mask . Relaxes the eye area, relieving puffiness, dark circles, muscle tension and headaches. Used for centuries as a treatment in Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is the perfect ritual to relieve all the stress accumulated during the day.
With clean skin, place the mask over your eyes and let yourself relax for at least 15 minutes. Finally, especially moisturize the eye area with Eficaz .
Store the mask in the refrigerator for an even more refreshing effect.
THE DROPS SLEEP
If you tend to sleep poorly, wake up in the middle of the night and/or have a restless sleep, try taking these drops before dinner. They are a liquid concentrate of medicinal plants, specifically designed to help you sleep better, more deeply and with a peaceful sleep.
CREATE THE IDEAL ATMOSPHERE
Preparing a comfortable environment is also a way to disconnect. I suggest you turn off the television 1 to 2 hours before bed and allow your mind, body and emotions to relax. Don't have any electronic device on your bedside table or even next to you (I know it's challenging, because there's always something to resolve, answer... but, keep your cell phone in another room or in flight mode).
Try to bring calm to your room, less bright lights and less noise. If you want, keep a notebook nearby and write whatever you want (worries, outbursts, intentions for tomorrow...). The most important thing is that this “ritual” is yours and that you feel super comfortable with the small gestures you decide to perform or add to help you sleep better.
Try these simple steps and put intention into each one , so that you can surrender to this revitalizing moment of sleep . The Sleeping Drops they will help you feel good, relaxed and ready to rest. The next day you will wake up in a good mood, with energy and prepared for a new day. Take care of yourself, always!
