PROMOTE A
DEEP SLEEPSmooth on healing jasmine body cream.
Studies reveal that the intoxicating scent of
Jasmine can promote a deep sleep as effectively
as commonly prescribed meds like Vallum!
The Flower's oil also helps heal skin, making
stretch marks and scars less noticeable.
Make your own: Soothing Jasmine Body
Butter. In a double boiler, melt one cup cocoa
butter over low heat. Add 1/2 cup coconut oil
and 2 Tbs. vitamin E oil. Melt until completely
liquid. Remove from heat and pour into bowl.
Either steep Jasmine tea (such as Good Earth
Organic Green Tea Jasmine, $4.99) in the
oil for 10 minutes, or drop in 10-15 drops of
Jasmine essential oil (such as Aromappeal
Jasmine Essential Oil, $7.79, Puritan.com).
Chill for 10-12 minutes. Then, using a hand
mixer whip until stiff peals form. Spoon cream
into a reclosable jar. Massage a tiny dollop over
hands, body and feet before bed.
WAKE UP WRINKLE FREE
with a floral facial. Massaging your face with
your fingertips is one of the best ways to
increase blood flow to the skin, delivering
skin-firming nutrients and boosting collagen
production, It also relaxes facial muscles, so
you fall asleep faster. If your skin is dry, use
a rose oil for your facial massage. Rose petals
are filled with vitamins and minerals that help
moisturize drier complexions. If your skin is
oily, opt for a lavender oil, which has antiseptic
properties that can help control blemish-
causing oils. Bonus: Both relaxing scents
reduce stress, so you fall asleep faster.
Make your own: Rejuvenating Rose Facial
Oil. Blend ½ cup almond oil with 10-15
drops of rose essentials oil (such as Now
Foods Rose Absolute, $11.48, Amazon.com)

might be tiny, but when it comes to sleep
problems, they pack a big punch! Chamomile
has a deeply calming effect on the body. Its
scent relaxes the mind and helps relieve anxiety,
so you fall asleep quicker. And, the flower's oil
helps heal and repair dry, itchy, irrupted skin!

chamomile tea. Pour 1-2 scoops of the mixture
into small tulle bags. Place one of the sachets
into a warm bath.Soak for 10-20 minutes.

Massage your way younger with a vanilla balm.
Sound sleep promotes the release of a "youth"
hormone that stimulates skin cell production
- while also shutting off the release of stress
hormones linked to wrinkles. And an easy way
to invite that sound sleep is with the scent
of vanilla. It balances your mood, erasing the
anxiety behind most tossing and turning.
Make your own: dreamy vanilla bedtime
balm. In a boiler, slowly melt 4 Tbs. coconut
oil, 1 tsp. vitamin E oil (such as Jason Natural
Vitamin EOil, $6.79) and 1 Tbs. cosmetic
grade beeswax (such as Mountain Rose Herbs
Filtered Beeswax, $1.75 Mountain-RoseHerbs.
com). Once ingredients are liquid, add 1 tsp.
vanilla extract. Pour into a small, reclosable
jar; let cool and solidify. Before bed, rub the
yummy-scented balm over your pulse points -
wrists, neck, or behind the elbows and knees.

bedtime beauty treats into thoughtful gifts. Get
