A Simple Evening Shower Routine to Help You Wind Down

An evening shower is my favorite way to close out the day. It washes off the stress and helps me get ready for sleep. Here's my simple routine.

1. Set the Mood

Dim the lights if you can. Put your phone in another room. Then set a calming shower steamer on the floor. Our CALM (Lavender Chamomile) steamer is made for nights like this.

2. Wash With a Soft Scent

Pick a soap that smells calm. Our French Lavender & Oats bar uses pure lavender essential oil, and like every bar we make, it has shea butter, coconut milk and kaolin clay.

3. Wash Off the Day

Use your facial soap to take off makeup, sunscreen and dirt. For a gentle night clean, our Rose Clay & Sea Moss Facial Soap is lovely.

4. Scrub (A Couple Times a Week)

Nighttime is a great time to scrub, because your skin has all night to rest. Try our POLISH Sugar Scrub.

5. Moisturize and Rest

Put on Soothing Aloe Hand & Body Butter while your skin is damp. Use a little extra on your hands and feet, then slip on soft socks.

6. Finish With Your Lips

Put on our Overnight Lip Mask before bed and wake up with soft lips.

Our Tip

Shower about an hour before bed. As your body cools down afterward, it can help you feel sleepy. And take a moment to be thankful for the day, the good parts and the hard parts.
