Short on time but craving a wellbeing moment? Want to feel as relaxed as you do from a long soak? Here are five ways to supercharge your shower and create the ultimate calming experience, morning or night…
1. Scent The Scene
We're all about making every moment a good smelling one... After all, who said candles were just for bath time? Try lighting one of our hand-finished Scented Candles 10-15 minutes before hopping in the shower to let the 100% natural fragrance fill your bathroom.
Shop our collection of Scented Candles.
2. Pick The Perfect Products
You didn't think we'd talk about the ultimate shower without plugging a few NEOM heroes, did you? Not only does our collection of Bath & Body products help to nourish your skin; they also smell great and bring a bit of a calm to your day with with 100% natural essential oils.
A great shower staple is our Real Luxury Creamy Body Wash which is just as dreamy as it sounds. Creamy AND calming, it not only helps to cleanse your skin and keep it hydrated for up to 48 hours* but it's also packed with soothing essential oils like lavender, geranium and cedarwood.
We also have a line-up of body washes crafted with 100% natural fragrances. Each serves a different purpose: Feeling Grounded is your ticket to de-stressing, Squeeze The Day is crafted to help energize you from head to toe and Great Day is our fan favorite fragrance, now infused in an exfoliating body wash.
Top tip: take your time massaging your bath and body products into your skin, inhaling the fragrance while mindfully breathing in for 7 seconds and out for 11.
3. Sound Track Your Shower
Another great way to bring calm vibes is to add some relaxing music. This is one of our favorite ways to really tune out from the stresses of your day and into a more mindful state. Whether it's spa-like music or a meditative playlist, find something that feels soothing for you. We've even got our very own Spotify playlists for you to explore (De-Stress Vibes and Soak In Wellness)
3. Turn Down The Lights
If you can, dim the lights and avoid showering before bed in super bright light. Lower lighting before bed can help tell your brain it's time to sleep which might make it easier to fall asleep.. If you don't have a dimmer switch, don’t worry: try popping your hallway light on instead, or better still, shower by candlelight.
4. Tune In To The Temperature
To go icy or super hot? Interestingly, the best temperature for your calming shower is in fact one which is similar to your body temperature. This will likely feel slightly warmer than lukewarm. Not only will this still give you a steamy experience but it also won't dry out your skin as much as hot water does.
Top tip: if your skin is feeling a bit dried out, you can always put some moisture back in through your Shower Gel or with an enriching Body Butter.
5. Keep It Up Post-Shower
The calming experience doesn't need to stop once you've stepped out. In fact, we're big on making every moment a relaxing one. For a lightweight dose of hydration and a mighty mineral boost for your skin, try our Real Luxury Multi-Mineral Body Milk. This is from our Scent to De-Stress collection and is a real treat for the senses. Take a few extra minutes to massage this in and enjoy the soothing scent
For those who prefer a thicker, buttery texture, try our Real Luxury Magnesium Body Butter which is also packed full of magnesium.
