YOUR GUIDE TO A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP
Previous
How do I sleep dreamily and wake up wonderful? That’s the words on our lips. Ours, and about 1.9 billion per cent of the worlds population, who are currently struggling into their 8th round of alarm clock snoozing.. Just one more minute… and then comes coffee. Sweet coffee saves the day!

Read on for our guide to becoming a morning person without the coffee.

HYDRATE: Hydration is the key to balancing and replenishing the body. Drink up in the hours before heading to bed to balance your energy levels, muscles, joints and hormones. This balance allows the body to switch off - leaving you rejuvenated and refreshed in the morning.

For optimal hydration and repair – take a relaxing bath or shower before you sleep followed by an all over lather of Bali Body’s moisture intense lotion. The bath/shower will lock in moisture + relax the body, and Bali Body will assist in hydrating and repairing your skin. Get yours here: http://balibody.com.au/products/luxe-moisturising-lotion

QUALITY NOT QUANTITY: It’s often said that adults need between 6 and 8 hours of sleep a night for regeneration and general wellbeing. But according to scientific studies, its not how many hours you get its when your getting these hours. The “golden hours” are said to be between 10pm and 2am. This is when your body is wired to do most of its intensive healing and repair. In order to get your beauty sleep, try calling it a night early babes.

BEDFELLOW: Never underestimate the power of a bedfellow. He/she will whisk you into a good night sleep. And if you don’t have one? Your BFF will do. Cuddling releases all sorts of feel-good chemicals that help you unwind after a big day, relieve stress, and fall in to a sweet state of bliss.

COFFEE < HERBAL TEA: Caffeine is a stimulant which will have you buzzing under the sheets if consumed up to 6 hours before bed time. Caffeine can block sleep neurotransmitters and lead to insomnia. Try giving yourself a caffeine curfew and swapping that night time hit for a herbal cuppa. We recommend Chamomile tea for its natural sedative effect.

N-O TO NIGHTCAPPING: Who doesn’t love a nightcap before falling into a deep sleep? Not at all.. said no one ever! However, there is a misconception regarding alcohol and helping you sleep. Whilst that nightcap may get you off to sleep faster it does disrupt REM sleep, which is a phase of sleep associated with deep dreaming. The deeper you dream – the less drowsy you’ll feel the next day!

SWITCH OFF: Tech emits blue light, which is said to delay the production of melatonin (sleep-inducing hormone) and keep your mind engaged when its meant to be resting. Give yourself a tech curfew to allow your body and mind to switch off before hitting the hay & make your room a tech-free zone at night time. Your sleep will love you for it!

How to combat dry and dehydrated skin

How to combat dry and dehydrated skin

We’ve all been there. Neglecting our skin is unfortunately a sin most of us commit on a regular basis. And let’s face it, there really is no nicer feeling than slipping into clean sheets with silky smooth skin to compliment. It’s the simple things in life that really go the extra mile. So we’re here to teach you the easiest and fastest way to give your skin a little TLC, in under 2 minutes. Step 1: Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate The most simple, yet the most neglected part of any skin care regimen. Long gone are the days of harsh scrubbing applicators and routines, feeling like our skin is going red raw with the pressure.  If you’re using a 100% natural DHA self-tanner, then the self-tan only sits on the first layer of your skin, your epidermis. Synthetic or chemical DHA-based tans actually seep into the lower levels of your skin, making it much more difficult to remove.  In essence, we always recommend that you opt for a 100% natural DHA self-tanner. Not only to add ease to the post tanning removal process, but to also support a healthy relationship with your skin and it’s overall health. To exfoliate, we recommend using a light to medium pressurised, natural body scrub that also harbours benefits for the skin. Our Essentials Body Scrub is an all-natural formulation that gently but effectively exfoliates the skin while replenishing moisture. Pink french clay and nourishing plant based oils work together to promote skin elasticity and renewal. Infused with a blend of grape seed oil and rosa damascena flower oil, this combination is designed to provide antibacterial properties, minimising the occurrence of body acne and other skin concerns. Step 2: Stay hydrated We know that sometimes getting your 2L of H2O every day can be more of a laborious chore, rather than a self care act. Keeping your skin hydrated should be no less of a priority than the latter.  There are generally 3 ways you can go about this: 1 - Mid-wash hydration This is usually when you use an in-shower or oil-based product whilst you wash. Our in-shower body oil is a great product for this method of combating skin hydration. Enriched with soothing ingredients such as chamomile and coconut oil, the formulation of our Shower Oil has been designed to soften the skin's surface and help control skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Our in-shower body oil also includes nourishing plant-based oils such as grapeseed oil, which aims to provide intense hydration to the skin.  To use, apply generously to wet or damp skin in the shower. Following this, massage all over your body and focus on any dry areas or where the skin is cracked and neglected (elbows, knee caps etc). Lastly, rinse off in the shower and you’re good to go!  A product like that is perfect for daily use and complimentary for all skin types and skin aversions, including sensitised skin. 2 - Post-wash hydration The second and probably most obvious skin hydration tip is to moisturise daily. We recommend using a 3-in-1 product, like our Gradual Tan Moisturiser. Using 100% natural DHA and other natural ingredients and oils, our Gradual Tan can be used as a daily moisturiser, a tan extender or a gradual tan. 3 - General product mindfulness As explored above, the importance of choosing to use products that contain natural ingredients and oils is extremely important - especially when you are applying it topically all over your body's largest organ. Always be sure to educate yourself regarding what is actually in a product and favour ingredient-focused formulations. Also, try to get in the habit of electing to seek out products that are sustainable in their packaging and their ethos. Our new Essentials range has been designed using 100% recyclable materials and is safe for all skin types and pregnancy.
