Prolonged exposure to phone screens can put a strain on our eyes which may lead to headaches and other things we’d much rather avoid.
Once you’ve put the phones and iPads to one side for the evening, you may still need some form of entertainment.
Prioritise yourself and make time to self-pamper. It doesn’t have to be anything too time-consuming, just choose something that makes you feel great.
An evening skincare routine is vital in achieving a flawless complexion as your skin needs to rest and repair itself from all the elements of the day (pollution, sun exposure, the list goes on) as you sleep.
We endorse stepping away from all caffeinated beverages from noon onwards, but know this can be unrealistic on days where you need that extra boost to get you through. As bedtime nears, opt for alternative hot drinks such as chamomile or peppermint tea which can provide digestive support as well as a calming effect.
Creating a simple yet effective bedtime routine needn’t take hours out of your evening. We’ve set out five small changes you can adopt to set the tone for a relaxing and restful night’s sleep.
