Why a night time routine
Even a few intentional minutes before bed can improve your sleep quality, reduce stress, and help you wake up feeling refreshed. It’s not about doing more, it’s about creating space to pause and care for yourself before a new day begins.
1. Prep time (2 minutes)
Set a consistent time for your nighttime routine, it helps your body recognize when it’s time to unwind. Gather everything you’ll need: your skincare products, pajamas, mouthwash, and any other little essentials. Having them ready makes the routine feel smooth and effortless, not like another task on your list.
2. Shower time (7 minutes)
There’s something therapeutic about a warm evening shower, it’s one of the simplest ways to relax your muscles and signal to your body that it’s time to rest. A quick shower before bed can make all the difference in helping you unwind and get a peaceful night’s sleep.
3. Skincare Routine (3 minutes)
Keep it simple and consistent, your nighttime skincare doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective. After your shower, cleanse your face, apply serum, and finish with a moisturizer to lock in hydration. you can also add a light sunscreen to protect your skin from indoor lighting or screens. Apply a body lotion or oil while your skin is still slightly damp to seal in moisture and leave it soft and relaxed.
4. Get BCozy! I mean Cozy, but same thing (1 minutes)
Now, this is the part I look forward to, putting on your favorite pajamas. Choose something soft, breathable, and comforting (we’re biased, but our TENCEL™ Modal is always a good idea). When you wear something that feels good against your skin, your body instantly starts to relax, it’s your reminder that the day is done and it’s time to rest.
5. Reflect or Unwind (2 minutes)
Take a quiet moment to reflect, breathe, and let your mind ease into rest.
Ten minutes is all you need to reconnect with yourself, let go of the day, and prepare for the peace you deserve.
When you make rest a priority, you wake up feeling lighter, more focused, and ready to take on the day. So tonight, take a few minutes to unwind, get BCozy, and remind yourself that rest is a form of self-care.
