I love Bath and Body Works aromatherapy products. It might be somewhat mental, but when I use their Stress Relief body wash in the shower before I go to sleep, I always feel more rested the next day. So I was super happy to find out that they've added a new addition to the aromatherapy line - the Warm Milk and Honey Collection. It was developed with the help of one of the world's foremost sleep experts, Dr. Michael J. Breus (and as a side note, that's kind of a cool job, right?) and combines cinnamon essential oil, clove essential oil, and other soothing ingredients for a scent that's comforting and soothing, exactly like the warm milk your mom would make when you were a kid. (It kind of smells like a combination of vanilla, milk, and sugar to me - sweet and delicious). The Warm Milk and Honey Collection consists of:
- SLEEP Body Lotion ($13) - A creamy body lotion to keep your skin soft and silky, it's formulated with natural soybean oil to nourish skin and glycerin to attract moisture.
- SLEEP Luxury Bath ($16.50) - A bath containing aloe and essential oils, perfect for relaxing in the tub with a good book and a glass of wine.
- SLEEP Massage Oil ($16) - You can either use this as a massage oil or in a bath. It has sunflower oil in it to keep your skin smooth and the aromatherapy blend of essential oils will lull you to sleep.
- SLEEP Body Wash & Foam Bath ($13) - My favorite product in the line, this body wash give you lots of suds with a relaxing scent. Its nourishing formula has green tea extract in it, which helps keep your skin young and healthy looking.
- SLEEP Pillow Mist ($10) - This spray lets you mist your bed with the aromatherapy blend of essential oils - it'll make you breathe deeply and sink into your pillow when you turn the lights out.
According to Dr. Breus, "Many people who have trouble sleeping do not need sleeping pills. The scents in the Aromatherapy Sleep products are part of an excellent bedtime ritual to help promote a better night's sleep. I recommend that those who have trouble falling and staying asleep try the formulas before turning to more drastic measures like sleeping aides." These products will help ease you into a better and more restful sleep by working naturally with your body. (Not that I don't love Tylenol PM and all, but doesn't this sound like a better alternative?)
The Warm Milk & Honey collection is available at Bath & Body Works stores and online at BathandBodyWorks.com.
