The last decade has seen the rise of a whole new brand of self-care. We’ve moved past the days of flowers, candles, and bubble baths. Now, we focus on innovative products that actively promote relaxation and stress relief. From those who suffer from chronic stress to those who want a more balanced mental state, these products offer an effective way to alleviate negative feelings and reduce daily pressure. While some can be used alone, they are also great products to share with friends or family members as part of a group activity or as gifts for special occasions.
Essential oil diffuser
One of the most popular ways to get the benefits of essential oils is with a diffuser. The idea behind using a diffuser is to put water and essential oils in the device, then have it release the fragrant mist into your room. This way, you can enjoy all of the benefits without having to apply them directly to your skin.
There are many different types of diffusers on the market today, each offering its own set of benefits and drawbacks. It’s important that you choose carefully so that you end up getting something that suits your needs as well as possible.
A Month of Headspace to Clear Your Mind
Headspace is a meditation app that features guided meditations, voice exercises, and mindfulness courses in a variety of lengths. It’s part of the growing trend of self-care apps that aim to help people better cope with stress and anxiety.
The company was co-founded by Andy Puddicombe, who previously taught meditation for 10 years at London’s Shambala Buddhist Centre. He created his own mindfulness program after he realized that “mindfulness is not just something you can read about or study; it’s something you have to experience.” The Headspace app offers a range of options for people looking to get started with their own practice:
- Beginners pack: A 6-day introductory course designed to help you become familiar with some basic concepts while learning how to use the Headspace app itself
- Take 10: A 10-minute meditation designed specifically for those in an active lifestyle who don’t have much time
- Deep Sleep: A daily sleep aid designed as a supplement or alternative when insomnia affects your quality of sleep.
Yoga Mat
Yoga is a great tool for stress relief, and using your yoga mat in different ways is one way to get more out of the experience.
The first thing you will notice about your yoga mat is that it can be used in many ways. You can use it to stretch, or even as a meditation cushion. It’s also great for stretching and relaxing while watching TV or listening to music! You will feel much better after using it! And remember: yoga is not just about getting into shape; it’s also about getting in touch with your body and mind. If you need some relaxation then grab yourself some tea and head outside for some sun salutations (or whatever else floats your boat).
Foot Spa
A foot spa is an excellent way to relax and relieve stress. Foot spas can be used to soothe sore muscles, relax your mind, and relax your body. A foot spa has been proven effective in helping people reduce anxiety and stress levels.
A foot spa should be one of the first things you buy for yourself if you are looking for ways to reduce anxiety and stress levels in your life. You will normally find them at your local mall or department store near the cosmetics section. A great place to start is by simply browsing through their selection online before heading out into town so that you know exactly what kind of product you are looking for when shopping there later on.
Herbal Tea
Tea has been a popular way to relax and unwind for centuries. It’s also a great way to stay hydrated, which is important when you’re feeling stressed out. Drinking tea can help your body get rid of toxins that have built up in the body due to stress. Herbal teas contain natural ingredients such as chamomile, lavender, and mint—all of which have stress-relieving properties that can be very helpful when it comes to relaxation.
It’s important not just what you drink but how you drink it as well! You’ll have more success if you make sure your tea is hot enough before drinking it; this will encourage better absorption of its beneficial nutrients into your bloodstream than cold or room temperature beverages would provide.
Cleansing Mud Mask
A cleansing mud mask is a great way to detoxify and purify your skin. It helps to draw out impurities and dirt from your pores, helping you to look healthier with less acne, blackheads or redness.
The mask is applied to the skin, left on for 5-10 minutes then rinsed off thoroughly with warm water. The mud will draw out impurities while also soothing inflammation and irritation caused by acne breakouts.
Journal
- Journaling is a great way to unwind and process your thoughts. Think of it as a way to relax your mind, stress free.
- Journaling helps you track your progress. You can use a journal to record your thoughts and feelings throughout the day, which is especially helpful if you’re trying to write down things that happened during an eventful day or week. For example, if you had an argument with someone at work, write down what happened in detail so that later when you want to remember the details of this conversation, they’ll be available for reference in your journal (or on Google).
- Keep a record of events that happen in your life. You may find this useful not only for future reference but also as inspiration for future projects or projects that relate back somehow; looking back on past experiences is often one way people come up with ideas for new ones.
Bath Bomb
Bath bombs are a great way to relax and relieve stress. There’s no easier way to enjoy a relaxing bath than with a bath bomb! After a long day of work or school, the last thing you want to worry about is how to get rid of all the built up tension in your muscles. A bath bomb will dissolve in the water, releasing essential oils that enhance relaxation and help you feel more relaxed. It’s also fun—bath bombs add color and scent to your bath experience, making them an ideal product for soothing away any unwanted stress or anxiety.
Derma Roller
- Derma roller is a tool used to improve the skin’s appearance and texture. It is a small plastic roller with a row of tiny needles on it, similar in size to the needles used in acupuncture.
- The derma roller is regularly used to encourage collagen production, which helps reduce wrinkles and fine lines on the face.
- When using this tool you may feel some pain at first but after that you will feel stress free and relaxed.
Sleep Mask
When you’re having trouble sleeping, it’s easy to get frustrated and stressed. A sleep mask can help you achieve deep, restful sleep by blocking out light. It’s also a great self-care item for relaxation because it lets you enjoy some quiet time with yourself without any distractions.
Stress Spray
This stress spray is an all-natural way to reduce tension and anxiety. It’s composed of essential oils that have been shown to reduce stress levels in the body. These oils are also known for their calming properties, which can help you relax and de-stress after a long day at work or school.
The recipe for this spray is simple: just mix one teaspoon (5 ml) of rosemary oil with ten drops of lavender oil in a small bottle filled with water or witch hazel. Shake well before each use! You can use this spray on yourself or others as you see fit—just be careful not to get it in your eyes!
To make sure your homemade stress relieving spray is effective, test out its scent on someone else first before applying it directly onto yourself (you don’t want any accidental sneezes). Apply sparingly so that only a slight amount covers the skin around your nose and mouth; too much will make you feel lightheaded due to its strong potency when inhaled directly into these areas.*
If there are no known allergies present within our community members then we recommend using this product twice daily until symptoms subside completely.”
Conclusion
With the right self-care tools, your stress can melt away and you’ll be more energized and focused to tackle all of your responsibilities. Don’t let the idea of self-care overwhelm you. Start small with just one item a week – maybe it’s a new journal or an aromatherapy candle, or maybe it’s relaxing music that helps you unwind after work – whatever works for you! Whatever it is, I hope these ideas help spark some creativity in helping yourself feel better each day.
