Beauty Guru: Beauty Sleep

By Geoffrey Rodriguez

For the latest feature in our Beauty Guru series, Geoffrey Rodriguez lets us in on the best secrets to good beauty sleep.

Nothing contributes to a healthy, productive and active lifestyle like being well rested, but catching up on or even getting enough “beauty rest” unfortunately can often be a challenge. Of course, having a deep tissue massage followed by a hot bath bubbling with relaxing essential oils, the scents of aromatherapy candles and herbal tea are all ideal remedies for a perfect night’s sleep, but the following products are more realistic—though equally effective ways—to ensure a perfect night of sleep anytime and anywhere.

Molton Brown Sleep Collection
Molton Brown’s Sleep Collection includes wonderful and effective products that contain the beautifully fragrant Cedrus oil, which has a naturally calming effect. Each product in Molton Brown’s series can easily be used at home or when traveling. The Cedrus Temple Soother and Cedrus Soothing Body Oil in particular are a sure way to relax the senses and soothe tightened muscles even if there’s no personal masseur on hand.

Siddatech Deep Sleep
It doesn’t get more convenient than Siddatech’s Deep Sleep flower essence spray. The one ounce bottle is small enough to fit into any pocket and it guarantees a good night’s sleep with just few sprays in your mouth. Siddatech’s Deep Sleep is made of all natural flower essences that clear blockages in the body’s electro-magnetic fields—otherwise known as meridians in Chinese medicine. Results have also been known to improve with each use.

Mellow Night
Also convenient and delicious is Mellow Night, a nighttime sleep aid of water infused with exotic fruit flavors combined with the perfect amount of melatonin to soothe you into a deep and restful sleep. Perhaps avoid that cup of coffee the next morning and instead start the day with a Mellow Day, which has refreshing natural fruit flavors and “relaxidants” ™ that help ease stress and allow you to focus and feel calm throughout the day.

Arcona Night Worker
Wake up looking refreshed with Arcona’s Night Worker. This remarkably hydrating cream-gel contains Vitamin C complex and the antioxidant-infused enzymes of apricot, peach and pumpkin. It brightens and strengthens the skin’s natural immune response during sleep, while reducing fine lines, neutralizing free radicals and stimulating collagen synthesis.

40 Blinks Eye Mask
Lastly, block out any unnecessary distractions in style with the extremely comfortable 40 Blinks eye mask. The ultra-light molded foam eye mask is perfectly contoured for maximum pressure-free and smudge-free comfort. It’s ideal for air travel or when catching up on beauty rest during the day, but check out other great and practical sleeping aids on the company’s website.
