"Sueño Ritual" (Dream Ritual)

The "Sueño Ritual" is all about embracing tranquility and preparing your body and mind for a night of restorative sleep. It's the perfect way to end the day, enveloped in self-care and peace, ready to wake up refreshed for a new day. 

Sweet dreams! 🌙✨💤

Follow the steps below. 


1. **Evening Unwind**: Begin by dimming the lights in your bedroom and playing some soft, calming music. This sets a peaceful ambiance, signaling to your mind and body that it's time to slow down.

2. **Gentle Cleansing**: Start with a gentle cleansing of your face and body in a warm shower. This not only cleanses your skin but also helps wash away the stresses and worries of the day. Consider using a soothing cleanser infused with calming botanicals, like our Black Brazilian Clay Soap Bar with Jojoba oil and Cupuaçu Butter.

3. **Warm Bath or Shower**: If you have the time, a warm bath can be incredibly relaxing. Add some of your soothing bath products, like my Yerba Maté Bath Soak with Aloe & Jojoba oil or a few drops of a calming essential oil blend, like my signature TRANQUILA EO Blend. If you prefer a shower, let the warm water soothe your muscles and calm your mind.

4. **Hydrating with Body Butter or Oil**: After drying off, apply a nourishing body butter or oil. If you prefer a deeper hydration, our Cupuaçu Seed Body Butter with Aloe & Vitamin E would be perfect for this, or a lighter, yet effective moisturizer my Chilean Rosehip Seed Body oil with Jojoba & Vitamin E is the one to consider (it's also my best seller!). The act of massaging the moisturizer into your skin can be very therapeutic and helps to further relax the body.

5. **Breathing Exercises**: Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and focus on your breathing. Practice deep, slow breaths to help calm your mind. This can be done for just a few minutes but is incredibly effective for relaxation.

6. **Gratitude Reflection**: Reflect on your day and think of at least three things you are grateful for. This practice shifts your focus to positivity and contentment, which is wonderful for a peaceful mindset before sleep.

7. **Final Skincare Routine**: Gently apply a nighttime facial moisturizer or serum. Opt for products with calming ingredients like lavender or chamomile to support your skin’s overnight healing and rejuvenation process. I know everyone is different when it comes to your facial moisturizer, but I love creating products with multifunctionality in mind and love using my body butter or body oil whichever I'm using that day as my facial moisturizer. 

9. **Bedtime Preparation**: Make your bedroom a sleep sanctuary. Ensure your bedding is comfortable, the room is cool, and maybe add a few drops of a calming essential oil to your pillow.

10. **Sleep Inducing Meditation or Soft Music**: As you lie in bed, you might listen to a guided sleep meditation or some soft, soothing music. This helps to quiet the mind, prepare you for a deep and restful sleep.
