This magical pot of pastel purple goodness has made countless headlines this past month, disappearing from shelves almost as instantaneously as they appear. And that’s not solely because it lives up to Lush’s heavenly sweet-smelling archetype of products. The lavender infused cream mixed with notes of almond, vanilla, cocoa butter and oatmeal has been highly raved about by fans, many of whom claim to have an ‘incurable insomnia’ that was somehow cured by this lotion! Sounds highly improbable? We thought so too, but that changed we dug deeper to uncover the secrets behind this cult product.

This Japanese steam mask emits heat automatically when you lay them upon your eyes, soothing and bringing comfort to strained eyes. The temperature of the steam is warm enough to encourage blood circulation to the eyes, but not so much so that you start to feel uncomfortable with the heat. Though the eye mask isn’t really a remedy for dark eye circles or wrinkles, it’s superb in inducing relaxation and restfulness. And the best part is, you’ll be able to find this at any Watsons or Guardian store near you.

The best thing about a sleeping mask is how you’re able to leave it on for the night and it’ll do all the work while you’re asleep – the most crucial time of the day for your skin to rejuvenate.

The lavender’s anxiety-reduction properties will boost your mood throughout the night, leaving you to feel like you’re at the top of your game in the morning.

If tension headaches and sinus discomforts pay you a regular visit, this product will practically free you from the unforgiving clutches of those evils.

The scent of the refreshing blend of peppermint, basil and rosemary will work up your senses, living up to its namesake to grant you a peace a mind.

We’re no longer a slave to caffeine whenever we’ve given our pillows a couple spritz of this highly-effective spray the night before. This pillow spray goes a long way towards relaxing your body, soothing your thoughts, and framing the perfect environment for uninterrupted hours of sleep.

This rollerball-topped vial of precious essential oils and Sambucus Nigra fruit extract works to quiet the most overactive minds, fostering a sense of calm and quiet.

Nothing beats a warm bath in the evening after a trying day at the office. Add two to three capfuls of this foaming bath formulation to warm running water if you’re looking for a relaxing end to your evening. This heavenly concoction uses a blend of sea salt and aloe vera to moisturise and condition your skin and loosen up your muscles. We recommend lighting an aromatherapy candle during your bath to further promote a pleasant session of unwinding.

These bath salts will not only help to ease you into a sweet slumber, they also detoxify the body and exfoliate the skin. The Kneipp’s mineral salts are natural and unique, having been sourced from an ancient underground seawater in Central Germany. This gives the salts a high trace of beneficial minerals such as magnesium, calcium and zinc, which will readily be absorbed by your body when you soak in the tub. Given its incredible price point, this bath salt guarantees a luxurious spa-at-home experience, rendering you blissfully lethargic by the end of it all.
