Lullaby for you: cosmetics against insomnia and stress

Our circadian rhythms work like a Swiss watch, until we start collecting habits that interfere with sound and uninterrupted sleep. Among them are the stresses at work, which make you scroll through the events of the day again and again before going to bed, as well as evening rituals: social media feeds, an action-packed thriller at dinner, and meditation on work projects as a sleeping pill.

Our heroines devoted themselves to activities associated with constant tension. Each of them has its own principles of dealing with sleep disorders, making it possible to tune in to rest, sleep, and then wake up cheerful and full of energy.

Olga Kulygina, stewardess

It seems that flight attendants always look their best – beautiful makeup, uniforms, heels. In fact, the body of the stewardess works for wear and tear.

We do not have a clear schedule: you can start flying today in the morning, and the next day you can take over the night shift. Insomnia is an unacceptable luxury for people of my profession, neither the crew nor the passengers can be let down.

I know how important it is to fall asleep on time – then colorful dreams and easy awakening are guaranteed. In order for the flight to be perfect, I need to sleep for at least ten hours, and go to bed no later than 23:00 if the flight is daytime.

I have an evening ritual – a relaxing shower that performs the function of therapy: jets of water wash away fatigue, disperse disturbing thoughts. I pamper myself with good products for the body and hair – both texture and aroma are important to me.

And it was a real find for me serum for eyelids with encapsulated melatonin Dream Therapy: Helps to relax and fall asleep quickly, moisturizes the delicate skin around the eyes and reduces dark circles.

Sometimes you have to sleep your comfortable ten hours during the day, so you can’t do without a sleep mask and drawn curtains. Helps to fall asleep during the day relaxing mist. It creates a relaxing atmosphere.

Anastasia Mikhailova, resident doctor, psychiatrist

As a doctor and mother of a one-year-old baby, I know a lot about insomnia. My patients don’t have to see a tired, irritated doctor, so it’s extremely important for me to get enough sleep.

If it didn’t work out and the energy is at zero, you have to resort to assistants. Good coffee and incendiary music helps me to cheer up. I put it in the car and dance while I drive to work.

Of course, the key to a good sound sleep is the right retreat to it. Most of the time, you fall asleep quickly. But sometimes, “thinking chewing gum” happens: you start thinking about the events of the past day, and then falling asleep becomes a problem.

Melatonin helps regulate sleep. I take it as vitamins, and also use beauty products where it is in the composition, – night cream, shower cream-oil with a relaxing scent.

By the way, many completely block all kinds of light sources during sleep in order to better produce melatonin by the body itself. But still, it is worth leaving a small strip of light so as not to knock down the internal clock of the body. This makes it much easier to wake up.

I also try not to drink water before bed, as liquids “disturb” the body.

Elena Rusanova, Faberlic Senior Sales Director, mother of many children

For a mother of three children, a dream, no matter how ridiculous it may sound, can only be a dream. I sleep, as they say, with one eye – the anxieties of the past day, worries about the coming day, constant rises to the children do not give me a proper rest.

If you manage to fall asleep before 23:00 – this is already a victory. I hope that in the morning I will wake up cheerful and full of energy. If you fell asleep later – and it often happens – the whole next day will pass with a heavy head.

Going to bed at the right time for a working mother with many children is a task with an asterisk. When the kids are already in their beds, it’s time to clean up what they didn’t manage to do during the day, collect things for tomorrow, and finish the work. And still, as soon as I go to bed, thoughts begin to overcome me.

An orthopedic pillow helps you fall asleep quickly and get a good night’s sleep. It relaxes the muscles of the cervical region and helps to fall asleep.

Another secret of mine is the right mindset for sleep. Here you can not do without skin care: night face mask и serum for eyelids – my must-haves after a hard day.

Evgenia Lysova, student

Studying at one of the best universities in the country requires effort. Due to the large amount of homework and preparation for tests and projects, it is often necessary to stay up late or even all night studying study materials. After that, you need to quickly fall asleep, which is not always possible due to excitement before exams or general anxiety.

Lack of sleep is bad for well-being, making itself felt by headaches, feeling tired and poor concentration.

A warm shower helps me relax before bed. anti-stress essence and soothing tea. I try to protect myself from the phone a couple of hours before bedtime, but so far it has not worked.

Student life is not only term papers, essays, sessions. These are new friends with whom you want to chat longer, and meetings that need to be organized. And, of course, the state of being in love. It happens that you are waiting for an important message and just look at your phone for minutes.

The quality of sleep is very dependent on its phases. A special program calculated my sleep time, and now the alarm turns on during the fast phase. This makes it easier for me to get up and feel energized all day long. A calm playlist with music and a cup of green tea helps me wake up in the morning.

Ekaterina Shchedrovitskaya, beauty innovation director at Faberlic

The past year has been a very difficult one for all of us. Anxiety about one’s health, worries about loved ones … Stress affected both well-being and the quality of sleep. It was then that my colleagues and I had the idea to create cosmetics, which will contribute to rapid relaxation, falling asleep and vigorous awakening.

For the main component of the series, we decided to take melatonin, a natural substance for the body that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. The difficulty was that melatonin hardly penetrates the skin. There was a need to develop innovative technology.

And the lab Faberlic did a great job with this! Encapsulation of melatonin allows to deliver this substance to the deepest layers of the skin, eliminating signs of daytime stress and improving the quality of sleep.

But we didn’t stop there either. In the means of the series Dream Therapy managed to combine encapsulated melatonin, a special aromatic composition and an oxygen complex.

I am happy to share my personal experience: I not only restored healthy sleep, but also improved my skin condition. Dream Therapy works!
