A Blissful Bedtime Routine

A Blissful Bedtime Routine
With so many stresses in life today, a good nights sleep is not something we all get, yet we all want it. Bedtime Bliss sounds like a faraway place that we all want a ticket, doesn't it? This is why this month Mintd Box have put together a selection of products all designed to take us right there. 
I need every bit of help when it comes to sleep as I find it really hard to switch off at night and am very guilty of being on my social media which doesn't really help with winding down so I rely highly on pampering to help adjust my mindset and relax my mind and body.

Bedtime Bliss, Mintd Box

This is no ordinary bedtime routine....

Within these 'Mintd Box walls' you can be sure to experience lavender, sandalwood, clary sage and a chamomile candle to provide ambient light to cold, dark evenings. Wash away the stresses of the day with a gorgeous blend of Himalayan salt crystals, sandalwood and jasmine and treat your skin with Frankincense Hydrosol, Turmeric oil and Hyaluronic Acid to reveal radiant skin followed by an application of intensely hydrating cream to gift your skin with a surge of long-lasting moisture to boost dull complexions. Completed with a sultry overnight serum designed to remove dead skin cells and amplify moisture. 

When I have a pamper session, I kick start with my skincare whilst the bath is running so that you can sit and let products work their magic on your skin as you start the relaxation process and what better way to start then with a mask, because in my book it is not a proper pamper session unless a mask is involved. Et voila .....

1.  AROMATHERAPY ASSOCIATES Hydrosol Sheet Masks x 4 (Full-Size £52) (here!)This Hydrosol Sheet Mask delivers a deeply penetrating, intensive hit of skin rejuvenators and is infused with hand-blended essential oils and powerful plumping actives of 100% pure distilled Frankincense Hydrosol and Turmeric oil to tighten and diminish fine lines. Each sheet also delivers a boost of Hyaluronic Acid and texture refining Turmeric. 
A face mask is an integral part of any pamper session so what better way to start a blissful routine than with sheet mask from the Aromoarthepy gods themselves, Aromatherapy Associates. This non-slip and non-drip biodegradable sheet will elevate your skincare ritual to spa treatment level let me tell you! An important aspect for me when choosing a sheet mask is one that is comfortable and not falling off my face or you spend the whole time faffing to keep it in place (=non relaxing). The gorgeous Frankinsnese water-like serum that sits within the sheet smells like a dream yet helps to calm your mood and your skin as Frankincense is known for soothing breakouts. The other essential oils and plant extracts including anti-inflammatory turmeric, sandalwood and rose are a perfect combination and a true testament to the high-grade oils the brand always uses. After removal, my skin felt super rehydrated, plumped, smooth and just looked really radiant! I would not expect anything less from Aromatherapy Associates which is why when it comes to relaxation, their range for me is always the winner. This is that product you reach for when your skin needs a boost of energy, just like taking a vitamin shot for the body. If you wanted to go the whole nine yards, then may I suggest you add some Deep Relax Bath Oil to the bath and maybe follow up with one their body gels because they are out of this world AMAZING (here!).

2. ILA SPA Inner Peace Bath Salts (Super Deluxe Size £20) (here!)
Ila Bath Salts offer rich, healing detoxification for anyone who is tired or stressed .... or both! Ancient Himalayan salts infuse the body with 84 essential elements and minerals, strengthening your energy and ridding you of negative ions from computers, phones etc leaving you totally cleansed, in mind and body. They have been proven to help joint pain, arthritis, sluggish circulation, puffiness, swelling and cellulite.
Time to run that bath and this shall make your entire soaking time an experience ... 
I have used these before and they are genuinely stunning so I am so happy for this top up! First things first, they smell incredible with Rose Geranium, Lavender and Lemongrass, I mean you are hard pushed to find a bath salt as luxurious as this. You simply pour 1-2 tbps into a hot bath and soak for 15-20 mins to let your body absorb all those lovely minerals and let them work their magic. I have said before, I am not a bath person but it's products like this that make me have them. Having used them many times now, they are just heavenly and I love how they make your whole bathroom smell like a Spa. They dissolve amazingly well too so you don't feel any bits at the bottom of your bath. My skin always feels soft with the scent on my skin whilst feeling relaxed and energised all the same time. If you love baths, bath salts or you need help with health issues as above then you really do need to try these out for yourself.

3. WILDHEART ORGANICS Tranquil Candle (Super Deluxe Size £15) (here!)Wild Heart Organic's best selling relaxing blend is sleep inducing making this candle a must have at bed time. Designed to calm the soul, this soy candle is 100% clean and natural with nothing but 12 pure essential oils such as lavender, neroli, orange blossom, sandalwood, clary sage and chamomile all proven to have sleep-inducing properties.
Now you cannot have a relaxation session in the bath without a candle lit and this one shall make you go all wrinkly because you won't want to move ...
This is one very effective relaxation candle as I have had this one before and absolutely adored it. The scent always fills up the whole Mintd Box making it a literal 'spa in a box!'. One day smell-o-vision will be invented so you can smell this as you read but for now, just go get yourself one because if this want to relax, this will do the job! We are talking the cherry on the cake to helping your routine or just your evening in general, stay blissful.

4. FARMACY Honeymoon Glow AHA Resurfacing Night Serum 30ml (Full-Size £55) (here!)The all-new Honeymoon Glow AHA Resurfacing Night Serum is another FARMACY cult classic, jam-packed with hyaluronic acid, their famous honey blend as well as salicylic, lactic, citric and fruit acids. This 3-in-1 night treatment resurfaces, hydrates and clarifies dull complexions while you sleep. By morning you’ll notice your skin looks healthier, dewier and smoother. Count me in! Whilst your body is in a nice relaxed state, it is time to let magical ingredients take advantage of it and get to work on your face ... 
I was so excited to try this because I love all that I have tried from Farmacy as a brand so far and recently became quite reactive to a similar product that was in my routine so I had to stop using it which is why I am hoping that this one fills that gap in my skincare routine. I know many rave about this one which made me even more excited to see how it worked on my skin. I love the fact that it is a  3-in-1 multi-tasker that is designed to not only resurface but hydrate and clarify dull/stressed complexions as I need all of that. First off, I have to say the packaging is so sleek and the chic gold-accented tube makes it a feel super luxurious! I will need to come and report back more about the long term effects as I haven't used it long enough to be able to give a full rundown in my feedback as you know I like to be thorough but after a couple of uses I will say that it hasn't broken me out or caused redness (hurrah!) yet has really given my skin a hydration boost and evened out my complexion making it look brighter and healthier so I have very high hopes! I feel this potent little potion of goodness is going to be a great product for when you need your skin look to look its best!

5. VERSO Skincare Nourishing Cream (Super Deluxe Size £29) (here!)
An intensive, nourishing cream for extra moisture and long-term hydration, targeted to improve the barrier performance of the outer layer of the skin. Using Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) helps to increase cell turnover, collagen- and lipid production, makes the skin retain moisture better. Niacinamide is an antioxidant that occurs naturally in our bodies and is known for its barrier mechanism supporting properties. For all skin types.
Let the skincare continue with a good moisturiser to follow up your serum .... 
Verso and this product are totally new to me yet one that always catches my eye and intrigues me. This deluxe size is ideal and enough to give you an idea on whether you'd invest in the larger size for sure seeing as it is not cheap (£95 full 50ml sized). It may not look much, but I was really surprised at the science and ingredients within this cream. It certainly feels gorgeous on the skin and absorbs really nicely yet leaves a light dewy glow and you don't need to use much at all. Again, I need to use the cream a few more times but I do feel this is ideal if you are someone who suffers which your skin feeling dry and looking dull, then with regular use I think this would definitely make a difference (-why do I feel this will be dangerous, as I know I will want the big size, damn it.).

Bedtime Bliss, Mintd Box,

I don't know about you, but I had a great night sleep after this pampering lot so I obviously recommend signing yourself up to this box if you really do struggle with switching off and your skin needs some TLC in the process. I can't fault any product as they all help in different ways! The products featured are ideal for all and perfect should you just want to handpick those you feel may be more beneficial to you.
I cannot even choose a star product this month because they are all so amazing in their own right and all work a different angle, so they all win. I will keep you posted on my further results with the Farmacy Serum (just let me know below if you want me to tell you!).
