Essentials That Will Take Your Night Routine to the Next Level
Checking assignments late into the night, obsessing about the next day's to-do list, and relentlessly telling yourself “just one more episode” on Netflix. We know the benefits of perfect morning habits, but curating a well-balanced night routine is just as important. These are some easy practices that will make self-care Sunday into an every evening thing.
Cherish your skin
Whip out your favorite cleanser, hydrate with a serum, pop a face mask on and seal the deal with a moisturizer. A long day’s work is often draining, but taking a few minutes to up your facial care steps will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated—and your skin will love you for it.
Aromatherapy
Calming scents enhance our overall soundness of mind, body and spirit. Light your favorite candle. Plug in your essential oil diffuser. Even adding a few drops of lavender on your pillow at night will relax your senses and promote restful sleep.
Bubble bath
Whether you’re already a bath bomb connoisseur or just dipping your toes in for the first time, making room for a weekly soak will give you all the spa feels. Dr. Teal’s Lavender foaming bath is a go-to, but if you’re looking to upgrade your bath game, hanging fresh eucalyptus inside your shower will cleanse your sinuses and deliver an invigorating fragrance.
Cut the caffeine
Although we love getting our daily coffee fix, swapping out the caffeine for herbal drinks before bed will lighten those restless nights. Teas such as Chamomile, Peppermint, and Elderberry not only give us sweet, natural flavors, but also carry health benefits like antioxidants and improvement of gut health.
Journaling
Reflecting on the day allows us to take a step back, breathe, and fill our hearts with gratitude. Writing positive affirmations and unplugging from social media ultimately creates a sense of serenity that prepares us for the next morning. Check out the Doing Well Daily journal for the best notebooks on the market.
