Rest is truly very important, but it's not always easy to maintain that balance because we're restless, worried, with immense tasks and a thousand thoughts in our minds, and we can't switch off (the story of my life). Sometimes, even when we're already lying down, tossing and turning in bed, we don't know how to calm our minds and relax our bodies…
When we don't sleep and this state of alertness becomes recurrent, we soon feel our bodies weaker, more tense and tired, our immune system becomes weakened and this is reflected in our skin. Sleeping well means that we strengthen our immunity and it's 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 cope with daily stress.
I think it's really important that we are able to work on our emotions, to take care of ourselves (from the inside out), so I wanted to share some "tricks" with you to help you rest better and with higher 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. I religiously drink it at the end of the day or after dinner (for me it works almost like a dessert, the cocoa flavor has a sweet and comforting effect). See the recipe here . This chocolate-flavored soluble drink is full of superfoods and medicinal plants that will help you feel much 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 also satisfying any craving for something sweet)!
SELF-CARE BEFORE BED
Start by doing your self-care or beauty routine ; it doesn't need to be long or time-consuming. I do this ritual before bed, and it takes no more than 5 minutes!
It can be a relaxing moment: ideal for cleansing impurities, toxins, and pollution from a busy day. I use the A facial towel with the Illuminating or Detox serum, as usual. The steam created when you apply the warm towel to your skin is simply extraordinary and relaxing!
Another relaxing moment can be achieved with a rose quartz mask . It relaxes the eye area, relieving puffiness, dark circles, muscle tension, and headaches. Used for centuries as a treatment in Traditional Chinese Medicine, it's the perfect ritual to relieve all the stress accumulated during the day.
With clean skin, apply the mask over your eyes and let yourself relax for at least 15 minutes. Finally, moisturize the eye area especially with Eficaz .
Store the mask in the refrigerator for an even more refreshing effect.
SLEEPING DROPS
If you tend to sleep poorly, wake up in the middle of the night, and/or have 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 more peacefully.
CREATE THE IDEAL ATMOSPHERE
Creating 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 devices on your bedside table or even next to you (I know it's challenging because there's always something to deal with, answer... but keep your cell phone in another room or on airplane mode).
Try to bring calm to your bedroom, with fewer bright lights and less noise. If you want, keep a notebook nearby and write down whatever you feel like (worries, venting, 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 make or add to sleep better.
Try these simple steps and put intention into each one , so that you can surrender to that revitalizing moment that is sleep . Sleep Drops They will help you feel good, relaxed, and ready to rest. The next day you will wake up feeling refreshed, energized, and prepared for a new day. Take care of yourself, always!
