Instant cocooning: ritual for a well-being evening
In this emotionally charged time, it is more important than ever not to forget yourself. And why not take an evening and take advantage of it to pamper yourself ? We offer you a gentle cocooning ritual to recharge your batteries and get off on the right foot.
The power of candles...
Do you know hygge ? This Danish and Norwegian term refers to an art of living in simplicity to achieve happiness. The idea? To take full advantage of the "little things of everyday life", inexhaustible sources of intense well-being that is anchored in the present moment.
Light plays a fundamental role in our comfort : warm and subdued, it contributes to our serenity. Thus, candles are a central element of hygge : why not start this moment that you dedicate to yourself by placing a few in your home ? Whether they are scented or not does not matter (it is the glow that counts), but a beautiful candle is a plus , since what is pleasant to our eyes soothes us.
...and that of essential oils
Some scents have surprising effects on our psyche and can promote relaxation: we especially think of those that take us back to our childhood , or even gourmet and warm scents. Diffusing suitable essential oils , such as sweet orange , fine lavender or red mandarin can help you switch to "cocooning" mode and ignore the little daily worries.
Drinking and eating for pleasure
This is not the time to count calories! Eat a meal that comforts you and drink a tasty infusion under a soft blanket. Nothing like the chamomile to prepare for a restful night...
The warmth of a bath
Create a Zen atmosphere in your bathroom with everything that can please you: soft music, Tibetan bowl recordings, candles, garlands ... and slip into a hot bath with oil or bath salts to take care of your skin, all enveloped in delicious scents. Splash around for 10 to 20 minutes for perfect relaxation.
What if you took advantage of this time to leave a hydrating golden mask on your face? Under the effect of the steam, the pores dilate and are all the more receptive to the care applied to the skin. The opportunity or never to pamper it!
Hydration for comfortable skin
After your bath, it's time to deeply nourish your skin : unhealthy, itchy skin is not very relaxing. Choose a delicate milk , a rich cream or even an oil according to your preferences and needs, and enjoy a self-massage of your body. Your movements should always be directed towards the heart to stimulate blood circulation.
On the face side, why not also treat yourself to a massage with vegetable oil ? It can be done with your fingers, or with a gua sha or a roller signed Sentara Holistic. This final moment of relaxation before applying your favorite face cream will end your pampering session in style and promote a more radiant complexion when you wake up. And then... In your feathers for a beautiful night!
