For me right now REN skincare as a brand has come out with some amazing products - Perfect Canvas which I featured here, the Atlantic Kelp and Magnesium collection which I featured here and even the amazing Christmas gift range which you will find here. Their latest release which is called & Now To Sleep is just incredible.
I am sure most of you will have tried Sleep Sprays, Pillow Sprays and anything that promises to have to fall asleep before your head hits the pillow, I know I have. Sometimes when sleep just doesn't come and you have counted all the sheep, watched a boring TV show and even read a book, you will try absolutely anything to just get a few hours of shut-eye right? Well REN has come up with something new and I think it is the best I have tried so far!
& Now To Sleep is described as being a scent which will send you to a deeper sleep. Enriched with a unique blend of pure essential oils, it works to restore calm and pre-sleep tranquillity, so that you and your skin can renew and regenerate naturally. At this point, I am already half asleep because it does sound just so good!
To use it, you simply spray it onto your bed linen and your pillow but unlike other products, & Now To Sleep gradually releases its scent throughout the night, rather than all at once and this for me makes it stand out. Using a unique blend of Frankincense, Lavender and Clary Sage it creates one heck of an amazing scent and whats more, for those people who always comment how much they hate Lavender as a scent, you can barely detect it within this product.
So why Frankincense? Firstly, REN really believes in the power of Frankincense to relax the body and mind as well as to alleviate stress and tension. It has been used in the V-Cense range but it doesn't really get the praise it deserves. I find Frankincense quite a warm scent, much more subtle than Lavender but much more relaxing and much more calming. Blended into a product such as & Now Sleep along with Clary Sage which in itself is calming particularly when it comes to stress, nervous tension and insomnia and then Lavender, which by now we all know it helps to ease tension and stress and does help with calming and the need to sleep.
I have used this spray a few times since I was given it and it is a dream to use and has so far lived up to its claims. For me, sleep doesn't come easy when I have a lot going on with work and I find myself tossing and turning, which only makes the whole problem worse. This little gem has at least help to alleviate the stress and tension and combined with a nice bath using the Atlantic Kelp and Magnesium bath oil, sleep does come easier.
The REN & Now To Sleep Pillow & Linen Spray is £18 .
