Believe me, I understand because I have food allergies too! But you don’t have to give up on taking care of your skin because of food allergies.

self care, self love and blissful sleep
An allergen-free nighttime skin care routine is important because it helps to create habits around self care and self love which ultimately lead to blissful sleep.
When we do not sleep well, our body doesn’t feel restored, our skin shows signs of depletion, and stress can feel unmanageable.
Especially with this year being challenging on many levels and so much suffering around us, we need to find joy in the small moments.
Self care isn’t about vanity; it’s about making yourself feel good and learning to feel worthy when it comes to taking the time out for you. Now go light a candle, connect to your inner beauty, get some blissful sleep, and wake up with glowing hydrated skin. You deserve this!
How to set up your allergen-free nighttime skin care routine
- Make yourself a priority: ask your partner or roommates to watch the kids and pets while you disappear into the bathroom.
- Set the mood: transform your space into a spa/sanctuary by lighting candles, incense or your favorite essential oils into a diffuser.
- Connect with you: take a few deep intentional breaths
