The ultimate 5-step nighttime men’s self care routine
There isn’t a better time than evening for self-care after a busy day, but sometimes it’s hard to know how to use that time to unwind. Here are five self care ideas for men so you can learn how to relax your mind and body before bed.
Create an environment that feels relaxing
Build a regular space that you can associate with unwinding and remove any stressful distractions. So close your laptop, switch off your work emails and put your phone on silent. Make sure the space is uncluttered and fill it with your favorite things: the music, people and books you love. Make a mental note, whenever you enter the space, to put your busy day in the rearview mirror.
Shower in the evening
Find a men’s night skincare routine that works for you so you can cleanse your skin and clear your mind. Our Blue Eucalyptus + Birch Relaxing Body + Face Wash or Inner Peace Holy Basil + Hemp Seed Oil Face + Body Wash provide the perfect scents to wash away day-to-day stress from your body and mind.
Don’t forget the deodorant
Find a formula that keeps you feeling fresh before you settle into bed. Our improved Eucalyptus + Birch Deodorant Stick pairs superbly with our matching Blue Eucalyptus + Birch Relaxing Body + Face Wash for a complete evening refresh. Our deodorant stick gently glides onto skin with no residue or irritation, giving your underarms the long-lasting overnight care they deserve while you’re creating the ultimate men’s self care routine.
Stretch just before bed
One of the best evening routine ideas is to limber up before you lay down. Stretching helps bookmark your day by allowing you to focus on breathing, body and mind, rather than any leftover stress from the day. Just 15 minutes of gently loosening the neck, lats, legs, hips and back is all you need to help improve your sleep quality and relax your muscles.
Swap your smartphone for a book
The secret to getting a good night’s sleep is taking care of your ‘circadian rhythm’. Blue light before bedtime can upset your body’s internal clock, making it more difficult to switch off, settle down and fall asleep. Replacing late night scrolling with a night-time read to keep your evening internal clock in time is a powerful form of self-care.
