5 Must-Have Skin Care Products for Your Summer Beauty Routine

Did you know that 70 million Americans suffer from some form of insomnia? That’s a lot! 😮 And it’s likely this epidemic stems from our inability to fully let our bodies wind down before bed.⁠
⁠
Think about it: How many nights do you lie in bed watching TV, scrolling on your phone or going over the next day’s to-dos? These common activities make it difficult for our bodies to prepare for seven to eight hours of quality sleep. Not getting enough sleep directly impacts our appearance, causing more dark circles, redness and other common skin woes.⁠
⁠
Here are 2 sleep tips for you:⁠
⁠
😴 Start a Bedtime Routine.⁠
⁠
It’s important to let your body know when it’s time to start winding down. A consistent nighttime ritual will signal when bedtime is near and it’ll also help you relax. Some things you can do are practice breathing exercises, take a warm bath or go for a quick walk.⁠
⁠
Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day, giving yourself at least seven hours of rest, also helps. Even on weekends and while on vacation, a consistent schedule can be a solution to how to get better sleep throughout the night.⁠
⁠
😴 Limit Your Screen Time.⁠
⁠
If you are currently using your TV, phone or computer as a way to “relax” before bed, then listen up! Doing so can actually hinder your ability to fall asleep because of the blue light the screens emit. This light mimics sunlight, tricking our circadian rhythm and making it difficult for our bodies to wind down.⁠
⁠
There are a few solutions to this, the most obvious being to limit screen time at night before bedtime. But since that may be easier said than done, you can try amber-tinted glasses to wear after dark, which help reduce exposure to blue light. You can also use the “Night Shift” mode on your devices, which has a similar effect.⁠

Mindset is everything. ♥ Ok so I’ll admit, I’m someone who is naturally a bit restless, so slowing down and being mindful and present in the moment is something I have to be really intentional with.⁠
⁠
Did you know that what you think about doesn’t just affect our moods, it affects our bodies and our immune systems down to the cellular level? Once you become aware of that you’ll begin to see how your thoughts directly affect things like your stress levels, pain, sleep and other negative emotions like depression and anxiety.⁠
