It's that time of year where as skin care professionals, spouses, caretakers, parents, etc. we have the tendency to do more for others than we do for ourselves. Even though it is all done in the name of holiday spirit, we cannot fill up the cup of others and leave ours empty. Although I am often guilty of this, I like to remind myself often to take a few moments for self care. Included here are some of my favorite self care pics, though your self care pics will likely be geared to your own personal likes/dislikes.
1. Naturopathica Schisandra & Chamomile Adaptogenic Stress Tea
Naturopathica Schisandra & Chamomile Adaptogenic Stress Tea
If you aren't a tea drinker, this one might not be for you. However, even non-tea drinkers may consider this tea and its benefits for stress. Let's face it, anything that helps reduce stress is worth a shot. This tea contains lavender to reduce stress, oat stress to calm stress related skin imbalances and holy basil to increase skin's resistance to stress. Also, note that it does not contain caffeine, so you can sip until you sleep. www.naturopathica.com
2. Bloomy Lotus Bud Ultrasonic Diffuser
Bloomy Lotus Bud Ultrasonic Diffuser
We all know and love diffusers in our spa spaces, but no one wants to relax to an ugly diffuser in their spa space or home. When it comes to beautiful and functional diffusers, Bloomy Lotus is on the top of my list. This diffuser was designed to resemble the bud of a flower, but it also provides a 2 or 5 hour continuous operation mode, operates silently, emits a soft losw and has a large water tank. https://bloomylotus.us/
3. KM Herbals Sleepy Time Roll-on Oil
KM Herbals Sleepy Thyme
With sleep being a global epidemic, sleep-assisting products have become an essential in most people's daily routines, including mine. I have loved KM Herbals' Sleepy Time blend for quite awhile, but the roll-on is a product that you can apply to pulse points to continue to work as you sleep deeply. The Sleepy Time blend can also be found in a linen spray and aromatherapy oil for maximum sleep efficacy. https://kmherbals.com/sleep
4. Farmhouse Fresh Rosemary-Mint Hemp-Infused Large Fizzing Bath Soak
Farmhouse Fresh Rosemary-Mint Hemp-Infused Large Fizzing Bath Soak
I love a good bath, both for its therapeutic benefits for the body but also its relaxation benefits for the mind. This bath fizzy has the refreshing and relaxing scent of rosemary and mint and 50 mg of calming CBD. As an amazing added benefit, it contains a Swellness fortune at the end of your soak. https://farmhousefreshgoods.com
5. Pevonia Marine Magnesium
Pevonia Marine Magnesium
I curiously tried Marine Magnesium a few years ago when it was introduced, and it has been a staple in my product closet ever since. This 100% pure Marine Magnesium product is a light, easily absorbed, seawater-infused gel that helps revitalize and remineralize skin. Beyond that, it helps to relive feelings of tension and fatigue, especially in muscle pains and aches. www.pevoniapro.com
