Aromatherapy can truly work wonders for your health and your skin. Pour a few drops of an essential oil of your choice (we prefer lavender or chamomile) in a bucket of hot water or a boiler. And take some steam from it by covering your head with a towel. Not only will the aromas help make you feel relaxed but the steam will also ensure that your pores are unclogged and your skin stays clean.

For those of you who can't figure out why your skin keeps breaking out unexpectedly, it could be because of your pillowcases. They often harbour bacteria which gets transferred to your skin while you sleep (you might also find yourself scratching your face while half-asleep due to this). So, opt for silk pillowcases since they reduce friction significantly and can also help keep skin problems at bay. This will also help you sleep better.

Just because you're at home and not wearing any makeup doesn't mean your skin isn't prone to get clogged by dust particles and bacteria. So, make sure that you at least wash your face before you go to bed and use a mild cleanser and cold water to do so. The cleanser will help get rid of impurities while the coolness of the water will help relax your mind and body. And the last time we checked, a relaxed mind and body are great to help you fall asleep.

Scalp massages can work wonders in putting you to sleep quickly since they help boost blood circulation and can help you feel relaxed. So, twice a week you should opt for a scalp massage with some warm oil (coconut, almond, jojoba) and you'll see just how well it'll work not just for your sleep cycle but also to improve the condition of your hair.
