Why

calm matters

Stop what you’re doing for just a moment.

Sit perfectly still and take three slow, deep, long breaths Notice that your heart rate has slowed. Does your mind feel clearer?

Does everything feel a little more in perspective? Feel stronger?

You’ve just treated yourself to a tiny moment of calm. We need these mental pauses in our busy lives to check in with ourselves and make sense of what we’re experiencing Calm isn’t a luxury, it’s an essential.

It’s a state of mind where we are mentally and physically at peace with ourselves. Where we achieve balance and the sense of perspective we need to cope with daily life Join us in our journey in to a world of calm…

Calm can help you...

Feel more positive Cope with stress Stay healthy and well Sleep easier and better Connect with yourself and with others Be more compassionate Feel content Focus on what matters to you

Too stressed out

to sleep?

Stress and sleep are in cahoots. Research shows that half of us are going to bed too stressed-out to get a good night of quality sleep. The issue is also much more prevalent in women than men. The more anxious we get about not being able to sleep, the more stressed out we get and the harder it is to drift off. So it's easy to get trapped in a nasty Stress:Sleep Cycle that is exhausting and bad for our health and well-being Over exposure to stress creates a chain reaction in our bodies that can raise our blood pressure, send glucose levels in to a spin and increase inflammation - all of which combine to increase our chance of serious illness and interfere with our day to day wellness.

The good news is that night-time stress can be managed. Here are six places to start…

What 's in our

Calm blend ?

Jasmine

Roman Chamomile

Jasmine - the jewel of the night with the power to calm the soul and rebalance sensitive skin

One of the gentlest oils of all.

Known for its ability to calm the senses and sooth dry or irritated skin

Ylang Ylang

Sandalwood

An exotic flower from the South Sea islands with the power to relax and rebalance

Prized for its beautiful scent and its ability to balance the skins natural oil production

Jasmine the jewel of the night Delicate, white jasmine flowers have their own magic power when it comes to encouraging us to have a restful night’s sleep. Famed for their heavy, long-lasting perfume, the flowers are harvested at night when the aromas are at their most powerful. Although jasmine grows in abundance, it takes a vast amount of flowers to produce the oil The hypnotic scent is known to be relaxing and emotionally warming. Often used to calm the soul, it promotes feelings of confidence and optimism. In terms of skin properties, jasmine oil is useful for toning dry, greasy and irritated skin and its gentle action means it is suitable for sensitive skin types. It can aid skin elasticity and be helpful as part of anti-scarring remedies, so is a favourite with new Mum’s after giving birth to treat stretch marks Clever little flower

Stressed-out skin What to look for

Outbreaks of spots or sensitive skin flare ups

Cause

When we don’t get enough sleep, levels of the stress hormone, cortisol, increases. Too much suppresses collagen production and makes skin vulnerable to inflammation

What to do

Pare back your skincare routine - avoid artificial and chemical additions which can irritate sensitive skin further and worsen the reaction. Go natural and simple instead Take time to de-stress your mind to help you restore your body’s natural internal balance and help make getting to sleep easier

Try our jasmine infused CALM After Dark Face Oil. The combination of Jasmine, Roman Chamomile, Sandalwood and Ylang Ylang not only make it smell amazing it also contains skin soothing properties and is gentle enough for sensitive skin Most importantly of all - remember that our skin is a barometer that tells the tale of whether we’re getting enough sleep. So while there are ways to handle those days when you wake up looking tired, the real solution is to tackle the main issue and find ways of getting the sleep your skin needs to stay looking its best

Calm Tips

Going out for a walk Walking outdoors fills your lungs with fresh, oxygenated air, gets the heart pumping and toxins shifted. All this and the tiredness that comes with a daily bout of physical exercise helps you sleep better at night.

Walking is also a precious opportunity to get some tech-free peace and quiet and a much needed chance to gather your thoughts. Wandering and pondering – how perfect does that sound?

Balloon breathing One of the most effective ways to achieve a sense of calm is to manage your breath. Try this simple exercise after you switch off the light tonight to help slow down your mind in preparation for sleep...

Sit comfortably with your spine straight and head titled forward slightly. Close your eyes Take a long, slow, deep breath, breathing in through you nose. As you do that put your hand on your chest and imagine your lungs as a brightly coloured balloon Breathe out through your mouth and imagine the balloon deflating then imagine it growing big again with your next breath Continue to focus on the balloon until you feel yourself begin to relax You’ll soon find your mind has quietened and you are ready to drift off in to a lovely sleep

Sit on a bench

Find a quiet place outdoors where you can be still for a while As you sit, tune in to your surroundings, What can you see? What can you hear? What can you smell? What can you feel?

Notice the tiny things that we usually miss – the shape of a leaf, the feel of the grain on the bench and focus all your attention on it, notice the details Take a nice long breath in and out. Notice how being in the moment surrounded by nature can bring a feeling of peace
