I am a stress-head. Fact. I worry continuously, and if you ask anyone who knows me they'd tell you how tightly wound and highly strung I am. Being able to relax is not a skill that comes easily to me. There are few things that leave me feeling genuinely chilled. However, there are some products that I am loving right now when I want to try and unwind from a stressful day.
The first of which is Elemis quiet mind relaxing bath elixir. The smell is sensational without being overpowering. It leaves my skin feeling soft rather than dry like some bath products can. And similarly, does not leave the bath oily like some products do. Which is just as well, since I don't find falling and nearly breaking my neck (or in my case breaking my ribs - true story) a particularly calming experience at bath time.
The next step in my unwinding process is the Aromatherapy Associates Revive body gel. This is a new addition to my collection courtesy of Birchbox, and I love it. When I first read the name of the product I was expecting it to be a little heavy or greasy, and I couldn't have been more wrong. The gel is a lovely light, cooling texture that soothes the skin and the mind alike. It sinks into the skin in record time- allowing me to crawl straight into bed without worrying about sticking to the sheets.
And, after immediately tucking myself up into bed I treat myself to This Works deep sleep pillow spray. I received a sample of this in a goody bag from Space NK recently, and I am definitely going to be purchasing the full size of this. It is pitched as being "infused with essential oils of Lavender, Vetivert and Wild Camomile to soothe the body and mind" and boy, does it deliver on its promise.
The most important thing about all these products for me is that the smells aren't too strong. Personally, I find a lot of products that are meant to be relaxing are often smell to powerful which just irritates rather than calms.
What are everybody else's favourite products to help them relax?
