Thursday, 28 March 2013: Rejuvenate, Replenish & Regenerate

What's the magical thing you can do to Rejuvenate, Replenish & Regenerate at the same time?

SLEEP. We think in the hectic lifestyles of Singaporeans, everyone is sleep deprived.
Some are workaholics, some choose to sleep less spend the time having fun.

Do you know that the optimum amount of sleep we need is 7-8 hours?
There's been some studies that people who sleep less than 6 hours OR more than 9 hours daily is bad for your health.

It's common knowledge that the period from 11pm - 2am is the best time to be sleeping because that is the time when your skin detox while you're sleeping . Without this detox process, it's no surprise you'll experience dull, blemished skin.
 
There are several sleep inducing aromatherapy products in the market and here at the Blackbox team, we have tried and tested some of these: 

 Boots carry an aromatic range
Sabai Arom, called Sleep Tight. It's a range of products that as it's name suggest, induce sleep.

  We tried out their Shower Gel, Body Cream and Aromatic Mist:
1
 
The main scent of this series of Sleep Tight products are Jasmine and White Champaca.
There's also a whole list of other aromatic oils like Lavender, Bergamot, Ylang Ylang, Spearmint, Ginger and Aloe Vera and Jojoba oil which are really hydrating and soothing to the skin.

We've learn a little about the uses of aromatic oils previously,
so let me breakdown what the effect of the below aroma oils provides:

Jasmine: Mood uplifting and also a well known aphrodisiac
Lavender: Soothing, relaxing
Bergamot: Sharpens the senses, refreshing yet calming.
Ylang Ylang: Calms down the hyperactive, also a well know aphrodisiac
Spearmint: Refreshing, good for headaches
Ginger: Good for indigestion




This is how we usually use the 3 products in the Sabai -Arom Sleep Tight range:

Shower with the Bedtime aromatic Shower Gel, letting the scent of Jasmine flowers & White Champaca envelopes you...The scent reminds us so much of the awesome massages we stressed-out singapore enjoy so much of. 

After showering is the best time to apply your body moisturizers
since your pores are still open from the hot shower and the absorption is the best.

The Bedtime Aromatic Body Cream leaves a white cast at first
but massage it for a few seconds and your skin absorbs it all.
It's super hydrating but not greasy at all, it's so hard to come across a body cream
that is like that. Plus it smells SO good and calming!

Spritz the Bedtime Aromatic Mist on your pillows and the scent makes you slip into a deep sleep within seconds.

Other than the products we've mentioned above, we've also tried another similar sleep enhancing aromatherapy product from Bath and Body Works, Sleep Body Lotion.

It has Lavender & Chamomile Essential oil which has a lulling effect to enhance sleep, as compared to the Sabai-Arom Bedtime Aromatic Body Cream, this Sleep body lotion is not as hydrating. But the Lavender-Chamomile combination are both known to be soothing, calms the nerves and the ultimate scent for relaxation. The Sleep Lotion is definitely much more soothing and more effective inducing the sleepy mood to prep for bedtime.

Remember, try and get 7-8hours of sleep every night, more importantly be in bed by 11pm so your skin can detox naturally, so your skin can rejuvenate, replenish and regenerate overnight and you'll have naturally clear, glowing skin!

Have a wonderful weekend ahead! (:
