8 Tips On How To Take Care Of Your Body Before Going To Bed

Interesting fact! Cate Blanchett says that she tried to tan when she was 14, because it was deeply uncool to be this pale. But she just burned and peeled. She even carried a parasol for a while. A bit pretentious in Australia — although it's common in Asia.

At the end of a hard working day it’s especially important to find some “me time”, take off the weariness and prepare yourself for the sound and healthy sleep. The following 8 tips are very simple and don’t take too much time.

Have a bath

Fill your bathtub with warm water and lavender petals which will help you to relax your body and muscles. You can also add some chamomile as it softens skin and removes irritation. At the end you can massage your body with scrub.

Take care of your hands

The first signs of aging appear on the hands. That is why it is important to take care of them. Pamper them with moisturizing cream or some olive oil.

Maintain your summer tan

For even tan exfoliate your skin using scrub or loofah. Wipe your skin with a towel and apply moisturizing cream on dry and coarse areas of your body such as elbows and knees. When the cream is absorbed completely you can apply self-tanning lotion at least 30 minutes before going to bed.

Take care of your neck 

When you’re lying in your bed your neck should be supported in such way that the bend between your neck and shoulders won’t be exposed to unnecessary risk. For example, if your chin falls forward or backwards or too close to the neck, your muscles become tensed, hence you wake up in the morning already tired.

Remove corns

There’s no need to save money on special moisturizing cream for feet. Cream with glycolic acid is perfect for coarse and cracked skin. Apply it right to your feet before going to bed and don’t forget to put on socks. Light an aroma candle. There is nothing more relaxing than light and gentle fragrance of aroma candle. It’s a perfect way to create relaxing and romantic atmosphere in your house.

Create spa-atmosphere

The key moment in spa is aroma. Special warmed up clay jars distribute pleasant fragrance throughout your room. You can use lavender essential oil at least an hour before going to bed.

Prevent skin dryness 

Skin needs humid air. That is why air humidifier is a must in your room. To improve your breathing and sleep you can add 5-6 drops of eucalyptus oil to the water.
