Skincare specialists throughout the world know this. There is more. The cheapest most effective beauty treatment is sleep. Nothing can give you the refreshed & relaxed look like a good restful night’s sleep. Without sufficient sleep the skin looks drier & older. Many people reach out to medications to get sleep, thinking that medicated sleep can be just as effective. If anything, medicated sleep can dry out the skin more, as well as set up the potential for addiction. When medications are prescribed for skin conditions, interestingly a mild tranquilizer is often included.

One of the most commonly prescribed sleep aids is Ambien. Ambien is reported to be addictive because users are finding that it takes more to achieve the same effect. Rap star, Eminem, canceled a European tour last August after checking himself into a hospital. He claimed he was addicted to Ambien. This is where sleep isn’t too cheap.

Here are ways to Keep Sleep Cheap:

–Create a routine at bedtime. Use your self-care techniques as a nightly ritual. It allows you to unwind & if it is a consistent routine then you do not have to think about your actions. You’ll just go through the motions habitually & that will allow your mind to relax.
–Cleansing your body with water can wash off the issues of the day, even if it is just your hands, face & mouth. Cleanse minimally no matter how tired you are. If you had an very stressful day, a salt or milk bath with lavender is a great way to literally & metaphorically wash those events & stressors down the drain.
–Limit beverages with caffeine throughout the day especially near bedtime.
–Make sure you have a quality bed & linens. Cotton linens make a significant difference in sleep comfort.
–Wear comfortable clothes to sleep in, preferably cotton, ideally organic cotton.
–Sprinkle a few drops of lavender essential oil on your pillow.
–Another essential oil indicated for insomnia is Vetiver. The best place for this is on the bottom of your feet before you go straight to bed, then cover your feet with cotton socks.
–Think grateful thoughts as your head hits the pillow & become aware of your gentle breathing.
