The secret to Sleeping Beauty’s youthful skin is mentioned in her stage name itself- it’s sleep! Getting 7-8 hours of rest every night will boost blood flow, rebuild collagen, and repair UV-damaged skin. Think of sleep as a recipe for fresh, youthful skin! As precious as it is, not everyone gets enough of it. Stress, jetlag, insomnia, poor lifestyle habits, anxiety, and depression, are a few obstacles that come in the way of getting a good night’s rest. For the more serious problems, you may have to seek guidance from a professional. However, if it’s only learning how to fall asleep quickly, we’ve got solutions!
7 Ways To Fall Into A Deep Sleep Like Sleeping Beauty
Breathe, you got this!
Drink A Hot Cup of Chamomile Tea
Chamomile tea is rich in antioxidants, promotes sleep, reduces anxiety and treats insomnia. Drink a hot cup of this tea 45 minutes before bed, and you will sleep like a baby! To sweeten your cup of chamomile tea, you can add 1 tbsp of raw honey or maple syrup.
Pillow Mist For Better Sleep
A pillow mist is a water-based spray that’s loaded with essential oils. Its main job is to relax your mind, calm you down and get you better sleep at night. The best part about using a pillow mist is that you can spray some of it on your sheets, blankets and even nightgown.
Take A Long Hot Bath
A long, warm bath is the perfect remedy to melt all your stress away. If you’re feeling tired or low, hop into the shower or your bathtub and take a nice, long bath. While you’re at it, add some citrus bath salts into the warm water. They’ll help with soothing muscle pain, insomnia and stress.
Invest In A Sleep Eye Mask
Sleeping on silk bed sheets is cool, but have you slept with silk eye masks on? They take luxury to a whole new level. Unlike cotton, silk eye masks are soft and have natural moisturising properties that prevent the skin around your eyes from drying out. They ensure that you get a night of sound sleep and wake up feeling fresh and ready for the day!
Moisturise & Repeat

Dry skin could cause itchiness and inflammation at night. Waking up in the middle of the night to satisfy the itch, could break your sleep cycle. Hence, it’s always safer to moisturise your skin before you hit the sack. Preferably do so when your skin is damp after coming out of the shower.
Put On A Calming Sheet Mask

When you’re stressed, it shows on your skin. The best way for your skin and mind to calm down is to put on a relaxing sheet mask. Roll over the sheet mask with a cold jade roller for a spa-like experience.
