Sleepytime Bath & Body Products

Courtesy of That Works

Oh, those summer nights . . .if the hot weather is keeping you up, forgo the sleep meds and try a relaxing bath and body product instead. Taking a warm bath has been shown to induce sleepiness — enhance the effect by adding a few drops of lavender-scented bath oil to your tub. Try This Works Deep Calm Bath & Shower Oil, $60 at beauthabit.com, or Neutrogena Relaxing Shower and Bath Gel, $7, at drugstore.com. Don’t feel like taking a bath? Just slather on some Johnson’s Melt Away Stress Body Lotion, $6, at drugstore.com. The soothing moisturizer contains an exclusive lavender-tinged Aromasoothe fragrance, to ease muscle tension and relax your whole body. And if you still need a little extra help falling asleep, rub a little Origins Sleep Time On-the-spot Gel, $16, at origins.com onto your temples and the back of your neck. The chamomile and lavender aroma is practically guaranteed to provide you with an instant calm and induce a deep sleep. Add a cute Body Benefits sleep mask, $4 at drugstore.com and you’re set for serious slumber.

I will have to go pick this up soon! I love the Johnson’s baby oil in lavender, perfect for some serious moisturizing in bed! Another great way to relax and soften up in the shower is Bath and Body Work Aromatherapy Sugar Scrub. I just reviewed it on my blog and I don’t know if I could love it any more! Check it out http://pressedpowder.blogspot.com/
