Looking for a relaxing evening self-care routine this Summer? Aromatherapy with shower steamers before bed can help create a calming routine that makes it easier to wind down. Laurel Canyon shower steamers work well for this because of their relaxing essential oil blend. Here's how to use aromatherapy shower steamers as part of an evening routine during the hot summer months.
Why Evening Aromatherapy Helps with Sleep
The summer heat can disrupt sleep cycles. Your body temperature needs to drop for quality sleep, but hot nights can make this challenging. Aromatherapy shower steamers can help by creating a relaxing environment and providing a calming wind down before bed.
Benefits of evening aromatherapy:
- Helps reduce stress after a long day
- Creates a consistent bedtime routine
- Can help with temperature regulation
Why Laurel Canyon works for evening use:
- Relaxing essential oil blend of patchouli & orange
- Not overpowering or too stimulating
- Chill, calming scent
How to Create an Evening Aromatherapy Routine
This routine takes about 10-15 minutes and can help you transition from day to night.
Setup (1 minute)
- Dim the bathroom lights
- Place the shower steamer on the shower floor, away from direct water flow
Shower (10 minutes)
- Start with warm (not super hot) water
- As the steamer dissolves it releases essential oils around you with the steam
- End your shower with cooler water
During the shower:
- Take deeper, slower breaths
- Focus on relaxing tense muscles
- Move slowly & intentionally instead of rushing through this shower
After Shower (3 minutes)
- Apply moisturizer while the aromatherapy scent lingers
- Use a cool, damp cloth on pulse points
- Keep lighting dim
Summer Travel Tip
Laurel Canyon shower steamers work well for travel because they're compact and TSA-friendly. Using familiar & relaxing scents can help with sleep in unfamiliar places!
How Aromatherapy Affects Sleep
Your sense of smell connects directly to areas of the brain that control sleep and relaxation. Having a consistent scent that you like to use and a routine each night can help signal to your body that it's time to wind down.
Many people find they fall asleep more easily when they have a consistent evening routine involving aromatherapy rituals. The routine itself becomes a sleep cue, while the scent and steam provide immediate relaxation benefits.
