If you’re like most parents with young children, sleep is an elusive dream. I’m somewhat of an insomniac anyway and it doesn’t help when the lack of sleep hits me during the day and I’m walking around like a zombie. But besides a good night’s rest, sometimes I need a little help waking up in the morning and going to bed at night. When I learned about Kiss My Face’s newest Early to Bed and Early to Rise Shower Gels I was intrigued. Could an actual body wash help me wake up refreshed in the mornings as well as one that can help me sleep peacefully?
When the good folks at Kiss My Face (http://www.kissmyface.com/) sent me their Early to Bed and Early to Rise shower gels to try, I was a bit skeptical. How could shower gels actually help with waking up refreshed in the morning and soothing enough to give me a peaceful night’s rest? Well, that’s when the powers of essential oils come in – their wondrous therapeutic properties have been known for many centuries and are still applied to modern day uses.
Both Early to Bed and Early to Rise shower gels contain specific fruit and herbal extracts that are meant to help and enhance one’s mood. With their Early to Bed shower gel the calming and soothing properties of Clove and Ylang Ylang are carefully blended with the stress-relieving quality of Lavender to put you in a relaxing and peaceful state of mind – something quite important to a good night’s sleep. When I opened the bottle cap the first scents that hit me were Clove and Ylang Ylang. Both have very powerful aromas that immediately brings tranquility to the mind. Some may not appreciate their pungent scents but I’ve been using natural essential oils and extracts for many years so I was accustomed to their fragrances. The lavender is very light but it’s in there and if you take a careful whiff, you’ll enjoy the melange of scents that is altogether soothing and intriguing. Although I can’t quite say whether it had helped me fall asleep faster than if I didn’t use it, the shower gel did create a natural sense of tranquility.
With the Early to Rise shower gel I was eager to try that right away. Using the essential extracts of Wild Mint and Citrus such as lemon and grapefruit, the fresh scents are both refreshing and invigorating. I definitely felt more awake the instant I stepped into the shower and poured some of the Early to Rise shower gel into my palms. I’m a major fan of citrus in my shower gels as they are delightful to the senses and reminds me of orchards and meadows.
