5.Ways to Fall Asleep Quickly Without Medication


 You know you’re an adult when you find yourself envious of kids’ nap time. That’s because, as you grow up, you realize how crucial sleep is: for the body and for the soul. Lack of sleep can be linked to more serious medical conditions and has the ability to negatively impact both your health and your happiness (not to mention the serious implications of not getting your beauty sleep). Luckily, there are a variety of natural methods for improving your snoozing, including using essential oils for sleeping and employing various easy and effective behavioral changes to your lifestyle.

 5.Choose the Right Products: Natural Remedies & Essential Oils

When creating your healthy sleep regimen, a good start would be to familiarize yourself with natural sleep enhancers: melatonin and essential oils. Melatonin is the naturally produced hormone that tells your body you’re ready for sleep. Exposure to light at night as well as other interruptions in your sleep schedule can hinder its production, so your insomnia could be caused by a lack of melatonin. Fortunately, it’s available in supplement form.

Certain essential oils can simply and naturally answer the question of how to fall asleep faster and help you to experience better quality sleep. According to studies compiled by The National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Physician Data Query (PDQ), essential oils in aromatherapy may help promote relaxation and reduce stress and anxiety. This is because your sense of smell is directly related to your emotions. Just like a familiar smell can bring back memories from the past, certain essential oils like lavender can trigger feelings of calm and relaxation.

 

Having trouble falling asleep every once in a while isn’t a big concern and can be aided using natural methods, but chronic insomnia can be linked to more serious conditions and you should consult your doctor if you have concerns that your sleep problems are persistent.

How to Achieve Dewy Skin Without Makeup (Even During Winter) As if it ever left, a glowing, ultra-dewy complexion is back in, with everyone from beauty bloggers to runway models emulating the look. “The inspiration comes from the Korean beauty trend known as ‘glass skin,’ which basically translates to a poreless, dewy complexion that has been enhanced with a luminesce sheen or finish,” explains celebrity makeup artist, Geoffrey Rodriguez. “Compared to some of the other popular beauty trends such as contouring, or matte skin, which refract light and can look very heavy and artificial in natural daylight, ‘glass skin’ ultimately looks softer and perhaps therefore, more flattering. The best way to achieve this youthful, glowing appearance? It starts with a focus on skin health: regular exfoliation, hydration, drink water, etc. “This trend is about caring for your skin until it strobes on its own and you don’t need foundation and primers to fake it,” says Alex LaMarsh, celebrity hair and...
