1. Pevonia’s De-Stress Escape Aromatic Oil

An essential oil for mind and body reset

A favourite of ours and for very good reason, this multi-sensory oil is like serenity in a bottle! Infused with lavender, chamomile, grapefruit, rose flower oil and squalane, it instantly melts stress on contact, calming your senses, deeply hydrating, and cocooning your skin in a soothing, spa-like aroma. It’s nourishing, aromatic, and totally mood-lifting!

Simply warm a few drops between your palms, inhale deeply, and gently massage it into your face, neck, and décolletage. Remember massage is one of the best stress relievers and no it doesn’t need to be at the hands of someone else, just a few minutes massaging a facial oil into your skin can induce endorphins and help relinquish stress. For an even more nurturing experience massage the oil into your skin with a gemstone facial roller. They help boost circulation, reduce puffiness, and enhance the absorption of your favourite serums and creams. Plus, the cooling sensation feels absolutely heavenly.

“I love this face oil! I’ve been using it for a month now as a night time treatment for my dull, dry skin and the results next morning are fantastic! Smoother, plumper, brighter skin! The scent is also heavenly and definitely transports me into a relaxed state of mind. Such amazing stuff!” – Amy K

 

2. Phytomer Oligomer Well-Being Sensation Essential Minerals Relaxing Bath

A beautifully soothing bath soak for stress relief

There’s nothing quite like soaking in a warm bath to wash stress away. Add a bath soak enriched with magnesium, essential oils or minerals to help relieve tension in your muscles and mind. For added indulgence, light a candle, play soft music, and just let go.

Phytomer Oligomer Well-Being Sensation Essential Minerals Relaxing Bath is an amazing lightly foaming bath ‘sensation’ enriched with Phytomer’s iconic OLIGOMER®, a partially sodium-reduced seawater concentrate that contains all of the remineralizing properties of seawater to remineralize, strengthen, and energize the skin, releasing all pent-up tension and promoting relaxation and overall well-being. Outstanding stuff!

“I’ve been using the seaweed soap in the shower for almost a year and I wanted a marine based treat to savour a bit longer, in a nice late night bath. After a very challenging day, both physically and mentally; it made me feel like I could float away. It’s so soft, you feel weightless and after I’d used up all the hot water I still wanted to stay and soak. The scent is still on my skin as I am getting ready for bed and my tired legs feel so relaxed now. Sweet dreams for me I think.” – Lisa D
