If you find yourself constantly chasing a good night’s sleep, you won’t be too surprised to learn that a third of Brits experience sleep deprivation at some point in their lives. Not only that, more than half of us are only clocking up six hours of shut-eye a night – rather than the recommended eight to 10. Over time, this not only impacts on your effectiveness during the day and overall energy, but also takes its toll on the radiance of your skin, too.
While a solid night’s sleep is key for a healthy life and boosting your mental wellbeing, as many of us know, it can prove elusive. Spa Magik Organiks Sleep & Moisture Therapy range is based on a trio of gorgeous natural products to help you reclaim your nights – no counting sheep required. It includes:
Deep Sleep Lavender Bath Salts
These 100 per cent Dead Sea mineral salts contain magnesium, a mineral which can help combat insomnia, and organic lavender oil – a plant that’s renowned for its ability to help you sleep. This soothing mineral and herb blend makes for a super-relaxing soak.
6-Oil Super Serum Blended with six conditioning oils, including vitamin E to hydrate, repair and protect. Apply a drop to the pulse points on your wrists and neck before bedtime and the lavender oil will help induce sleep.
Six steps to sweet dreams
Stress and smartphones are often blamed for poor sleep quality. Sound familiar? Try this therapeutic routine:
1 Add two to four handfuls of Deep Sleep Lavender Bath Salts to your bath.
2 Soak for 20 minutes, letting your mind and body wind down.
3 For an exfoliating body boost, mix the bath salts with 6-Oil Super Serum or Triple Oil Shea Body Butter to make a salt scrub, then rub it all over your body.
4 After bathing, pat your skin dry; apply a few drops of the 6-Oil Serum directly to face and body; massage well.
5 Massage a drop on pulse points, too; the lavender oil will help you nod off.
6 Wind down and relax – your body needs time to shift into sleep mode.
