The First Thing I Do When I Wake Up Is…
Take a few minutes to check in with how I am feeling mentally and physically, then let the dog out and put the kettle on for a cup of red-bush tea.
The Last Thing I Do Before I Go To Sleep Is…
My evening skincare routine, camomile tea, spritz pillow with sleep spray, take a magnesium and ashwagandha supplement, switch off all phone notifications, lights and sounds.
My Weekly Body Care Routine Is…
I shower or bath in the evening, I don’t like using products in the bath water other than Epsom salts, In the shower I always use a body wash or an oil if I want something a little more nourishing. I generally avoid things that are highly fragranced unless its aromatherapy based, Aromatherapy Associates oils are just beautiful. I love body washes which are kinder to the skin like the Ameliorate Nourishing Body Wash.
I body brush weekly, if I’m being honest it’s probably once or twice a week even though I know I should do it daily. I do scrub all over once a week, it’s great for your skin, boosts blood flow, and excuse to massage yourself and if you choose the right product it’s like a mini trip to the spa. I love ESPA Relaxing Salt Scrub.
