We are all aware that a good night’s rest is essential for your physical and mental well-being. The importance of good rest cannot be overstated, and it should not have to be. However, in today’s fast-paced environment, it can be quite a task to find enough time in the day to do everything, let alone get the ideal 7 to 8 hours of sleep. As we go through our daily doings; work, family time, endless to-do lists – sleep is a necessity. And not just sleep, but good, intentional rest. Good rest is a fundamental pillar of our lives, so if you are finding yourself tossing and turning at night, or even struggling to feel well-rested when you wake up, perhaps it is time to make some changes. Here are a few ways you can implement small changes into your day-to-day routine to help you get better rest. 1. Set The Mood For Deep Rest: This seems like a very straightforward element to change, and it is. You would need to put some time in but remember, your bedroom is a sanctuary and it will be worth it. It is meant to be dedicated to your ultimate rest and relaxation. If you find yourself feeling uncomfortable, or stressed – you need to change some things. – Invest in a quality mattress and quality bedding. – Regulate the temperature in your room; if you are too warm or too cold, you will not rest well. – Enhance the ambience of your bedroom. This can be done with the power of aroma; Spa Ceylon’s Sleep Body & Pillow Mist is enriched with pure lavender and patchouli helping to relax and balance the senses as well as calming the mind and body. Spray this lightly over your bedding and over your body, and unwind. 2. Develop Healthy Sleep Habits: Given the nature of our lifestyles, it can be difficult to maintain healthy sleep habits but they are imperative to ensure you have good rest. Simple habits include; – Having a regular sleep schedule (a specific time to wake up and a specific time to get into bed) – Limiting screen time before bed. These habits should be where you start. If you already have this in place, try to include unwinding activities into your night time routine, such as; – Journaling – Reading a chapter of your favourite book – Indulging in self-care with Spa Ceylon’s Sleep Calming Balm. Get into bed, play some of your favourite calming music and apply the balm finely on your temples, behind your ears and at the back of your neck. Inhale the scent and feel yourself relax into your bed. If you would prefer another product, the Spa Ceylon Sleep Calming Balm Roll-On works just as well too. 3. Work On Stress Management Stress management plays a major part in the quality of your rest. Stress can make it even more difficult to unwind and fall asleep, because your mind is constantly running, your body will not be able to relax and let go for a few hours to rest. If this sounds like you, start by incorporating small stress-releasing practices into your daily routine that you can do at any given time of day, so that by the time you need to get ready for bed, you are already in a tranquil state of mind. If you find that it is easier to deal with your stress all at once, and unwind once you are home – try having a relaxing bath. Indulge in Spa Ceylon’s Sleep Bath & Shower Gel or Sleep Bath Soakbefore you get into bed. The relaxing blend of herbs and essential oils are guaranteed to leave you feeling relaxed, refreshed and ready for a good night’s rest. To get better rest, try these few key changes first. Prioritise yourself and your rest. With Spa Ceylon’s Sleep and Sleep Intense range, you can enhance and elevate your rest – say goodbye to restless nights, and hello to more restorative sleep.

We all get stressed, and it happens more often than we would like. Sometimes, the stress we feel can be hard to manage and the high levels of stress can build up – affecting our mind, body and soul. It is part and parcel of our being, but there are ways to combat it where you do not have to go above and beyond just to feel better. According to Ayurveda, there are 3 energies that govern our bodies – the Dosha’s; Vata, Pitta and Kapha. They influence and impact our overall wellbeing, and the imbalance of them is what causes the ailments you want solutions for. Fortunately, Ayurveda takes a holistic approach to stress, and provides natural, simple solutions with a range of remedies that you can implement on a daily basis. To make it even easier, Spa Ceylon has a range dedicated to de-stressing your mind, body and soul. Ideally, you would want to start your day stress-free. When you wake up feeling good, it sets the tone for the whole day. Some things that you can do to ensure a stress-free day include; – Abhyanga (a warm oil massage) followed by a shower – Move your body; indulge in 15 minutes of Yoga – Practice your breathwork or Pranayama – Have a good breakfast – Make a checklist or a to-do list for your day – Listen to soothing music One of the most common solutions for stress is meditation. It is believed that consistent meditation can have a great impact on your mind and body – bringing you immense calmness, and relaxation. Meditation does not need to be done in a quiet, dark room all the time but can be done when you have 5-10 minutes to yourself throughout the day. For example, if you are at work and need a break – take a break and give yourself the space to meditate to clear your mind. With this in mind, you can rarely predict when stress is going to affect you most, especially during a work day. Unexpected things can happen on any given day that cause stress, and could leave you feeling overwhelmed. Incorporating Spa Ceyon’s De-Stress range into your daily routine is a simple and effective way to prioritize your wellbeing amidst the happenings of your day. You can use any of these products from the Spa Ceylon De-Stress range on-the-go; – De-Stress Harmonising Essence Mist – De-Stress Harmonising Balm – De-Stress Calming Body Elixir – De-Stress Dashamula Body Treatment Oil The next time you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed or anxious – try out our 3-step guide to immediately relieve your stress. 1. Find a quiet space or a space where you can be alone, and make yourself comfortable; This can be in a small corner in your work space, or in a spot with a nice view that you can focus on for more than 5 minutes. It would also help if you leave any distractions behind so that you can de-stress peacefully. 2. Indulge in your senses; Once you have set up your space, use one of the above Spa Ceylon products and treat yourself to a mini pampering session. Take a moment to inhale deeply, and allow the calming aromas to take over, melting away any tension. 3. Practice relaxation techniques; In this time, practice deep-breathing techniques that will help to center you and clear your mind. Close your eyes and focus on your breath. Do this for about 5 to 10 minutes and it will most definitely leave you feeling refreshed, and relaxed.After you follow our 3-step guide, you will be able to approach your tasks with a calmer, and much clearer perspective.

Caring for Sensitive Skin With Lotus & Rambutan Complete Skin Comfort | Mild Retinol-Like Action What Is Sensitive Skin? Sensitive skin usually means limitations for skin care products. The discomfort and irritation associated with sensitive skin can make it challenging for individuals to fully enjoy their skincare routines. It is a common issue which can be caused by a variety of factors such as genetics, environment, or harsh skincare products. This sensitivity often leads to hesitation in trying new products, limiting their ability to experience the benefits of effective skincare. If you have some or a combination of the following symptoms, it is possible that you have sensitive skin: ● Red, swollen and itchy skin ● Skin redness that presents with or without swelling ● Skin that stings or burns ● Rashes or hives ● Dry skin that may crack, blister or bleed ● Patches of skin that feel dry, hard and leathery Lotus and Rambutan: A Natural Remedy for Sensitive Skin from Asia At a time when the beauty and wellness industry continues to introduce innovative skincare solutions, two advanced and new-gen natural ingredients from South East Asia present themselves as the long-awaited solution for sensitive skin. Lotus Leaf Active Cell Extract: to Soothe & Hydrate The lotus is a revered symbol in Asia, associated with purity, freshness and serenity. It is a plant with multiple benefits and healing properties including lotus flower, seeds, root, and leaf. Lotus leaf extract is celebrated in skincare for its exceptional soothing properties, making it a coveted ingredient in cosmetic formulations aimed at calming and rejuvenating the skin. Known for its natural antioxidants, lotus leaf active cell extract helps to alleviate skin irritation and redness, making it an ideal choice for sensitive or reactive skin types. These soothing components work together to reduce inflammation and promote a more balanced complexion, making it effective in soothing various skin conditions, such as dryness, itchiness, and even mild sunburns. Beyond its calming effects, lotus leaf extract also supports overall skin health by neutralising free radicals, promoting cell renewal, supporting the skin’s barrier function and deep hydration to enhance the skin’s natural moisture barrier. This helps to maintain optimal hydration levels, leaving the skin feeling supple and revitalised. Incorporating lotus leaf extract into skincare routines can therefore help to achieve a more serene and resilient complexion, making it a valuable addition to products aimed at soothing and nurturing sensitive skin. Rambutan Leaf Extract: to Nourish & Protect Commonly known as a tropical seasonal delight, Rambutan is similar in taste and texture to lychee, also found in the Asian subcontinent. A little known fact however is that Rambutan can be likened to a milder form of retinol due to its beneficial properties for skin health and appearance. Retinol, renowned for its ability to promote cell turnover, stimulate collagen production, and improve skin texture may cause irritation, especially for those with sensitive skin. For skin that seeks relief, rambutan offers similar benefits but in a gentler manner. It contains significant levels of antioxidants that help neutralise free radicals that contribute to ageing and skin damage. By doing so, they can support the skin’s natural repair processes and improve overall skin tone and elasticity. These properties make rambutan particularly suitable for individuals looking to address signs of ageing and maintain a youthful complexion without the potential side effects associated with stronger retinol products. Rambutan serves as a milder alternative to retinol, offering anti-aging benefits and skin-soothing properties without the risk of irritation, making it an appealing ingredient for sensitive skin types seeking effective skincare solutions. Skincare Tips for Sensitive Skin: Sensitive skin can present itself as Oily Sensitive Skin or Dry Sensitive Skin. To effectively manage your sensitive skin, it is important to identify the triggers that cause the symptoms, and to use gentle, soothing products, and make lifestyle adjustments that would promote healthier, more comfortable skin. Here are a few skincare tips that you can try if you have sensitive skin: – Choose Gentle Products: Use fragrance-free skincare products with soothing ingredients like aloe vera, arnica, chamomile, and calendula – Patch Test New Products: Before using a new product, test it on a small area of your skin to check for any reactions. – Hydrate: Moisturise regularly to protect your skin barrier and prevent dryness. Look for moisturisers made for sensitive skin. – Use Gentle Cleansers: Use mild face and body cleansers that are gentle on sensitive skin and free from harsh chemicals. – Sun Protection: Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen, daily to protect against UV damage, which can worsen skin sensitivity. – Limit Exfoliation: Exfoliate gently and no more than twice a week to avoid irritating your skin. Incorporating Lotus & Rambutan In A Routine For Sensitive Skin Offering numerous benefits when combined, Lotus and Rambutan can deliver a power-packed solution from nature, to provide complete comforting care for sensitive skin. Whether you are looking to build your own skincare routine for day and night time, or know more about how these high-performance ingredients can work to help to provide you comforted skin, your answers are just a click away.

Your Ultimate Guide to Well Ageing Embrace Well-Ageing With Confidence Looked in the mirror lately? We mean, have you taken a good long look at your skin, without any products or make up? If you notice dark circles, fine lines, wrinkles, and puffiness under your eyes, dry patches and smile lines around your mouth, guess what? Your skin has begun ageing. Each year as you celebrate another year round the sun, your skin is on its own trip too. In fact, you begin to age in your 30s, which is a lot earlier than people would imagine. Ageing is a natural and beautiful journey, and caring for your skin is one of the best ways to embrace it with confidence. That’s where the concept of Well-Ageing comes in. Well-Ageing is a holistic approach to wellness, from head-to-toe, honouring your skin’s natural changes, and feeling confident at every stage of your life. In this blog, we explore essential skincare practices, powerful ingredients, and lifestyle habits that support radiant, resilient skin as you age gracefully. Well-Ageing Through Ayurveda While many skincare trends come and go, the practices of Ayurveda are lifelong for long-term benefits, and results in a healthier mind, body and soul, and thereby a healthier you. Ageing gracefully is not just about skincare. It’s a journey of holistic wellness that blends science with the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda. By aligning your lifestyle habits to focus on balance, nourishment, mindful rituals, and inner wellness, you can support your goal of healthy, radiant skin, no matter your age. Here are 5 lifestyle habits you need to invest in ASAP for Well-Ageing: 1) Regular Hydration – Water helps, but is not enough. You need to use a good moisturiser that keeps your skin hydrated through the day, and a night cream or serum for overnight hydration. Regularly consuming food items heavy in water content such as watermelon, cucumber celery and cantaloupe – in other words to ‘eat your water’ – helps your skin detox, and get the essential hydration it needs. 2) Use Sunscreen Daily – Definitely when outdoors, and even when indoors. According to dermatologists, sun exposure is the leading cause of skin damage. So layer on the SPF to suit your climate. 3) Eat A Balanced Diet – Ensure your meals are rich in vitamins and minerals that include natural ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, grains, and seeds. Herbal teas and infusions are also a great addition. Protein sources such as fish, fish oil, bone broth, and eggs are also nutrient heavy food that help the collagen production for healthy skin. 4) Rest. Mindfulness. Movement – Your body is your temple. A key part of Well-Ageing is head-to-toe wellbeing. Relaxation techniques, such as mindful breathing, facial yoga, meditation, nature walks, and being near plants, sources of water, and natural lighting all contribute to achieving a sense of balance and holistic wellness. Most importantly, you need to allow yourself plenty of rest – at least 7 to hours of sleep each night, where you unplug, and unwind. Quality sleep is essential for your skin to repair and restore overnight. 5) Have a Regular Skincare Routine – This is where the real commitment counts – as skincare is self-care, and the by making it a daily ritual for your well-being, just a few minutes each day at the start, and before bedtime, you are making a long-term investment for healthy, nourished skin. Where do I start? Which products are suitable for my skin at this age? These can be a few of the questions running through your mind. Read on, as we set out to answer them all for you! Well-Ageing Skincare In 20s, 30s & Beyond… Well-ageing skincare focuses on nurturing your skin’s health, rather than fighting wrinkles or fine lines. Essentially, it’s about helping your skin look and feel its best at every stage of life. While many out there race to turn back the clock with various anti ageing creams, we want you to take a moment and embrace your journey, right where you are. When it comes to well-ageing skincare, focusing on preventing issues BEFORE they start is the most effective. Ideally, you need to start thinking about skincare in your mid-20s. Focus on preserving your youthful appearance to prevent the first signs of ageing. The Spa Ceylon White Rice range infused with cold-pressed rice bran oil that is rich in natural antioxidant and youth-giving Gamma Oryzanol, is a great way to begin your skincare journey in your 20s. It protects your skin against the first signs of ageing, and provides nourishment to your skin, with day, night, and under-eye skincare, for a youthful glow. In your 30s, maintaining is key by revitalising your skin through collagen-boosting natural actives, and Ayurveda WonderHerbs. Whereas in your 40s (and after), your skin is now in its mature stage. Corrective skincare with retinol, and rejuvenating oils will be your main priority, to help restore your skin balance, and protect any further damage to your skin barrier. At this age, your collagen production slows down, decreasing your skin’s elasticity. If left untreated, your skin will start to sag, be dry and dull. The Spa Ceylon Skin Smooth Bakuchiol range with its age refining properties is an ideal skin wellness range for this stage of your skincare journey. Infused with natural actives from the Bakuchi flower, it is the natural retinol alternative, which can be used both during day and night. Including two power-packed products, a face cream, and an international award-winning day and night serum, the Bakuchiol range is luxurious in texture, and a tribute to graceful ageing.

Expert Answers To Your Skincare Needs Skincare can be overwhelming, when browsing through countless products, routines, and advice. But we are here to help! In this blog series, we have teamed up with our trusted Skin Wellness Consultant, Shenuka Fernando to dive into real skincare concerns, provide expert advice, and share tips to help you achieve healthy, glowing skin. Question: Can you select a good cream for my skin? I don’t know what my skin type is. How can I know that? Answer: If you are unsure about your skin type, you first need to do a consultation. At Spa Ceylon we provide free skincare consultations, where you can speak to our wellness experts to get the best advice for your skin. How to identify your skin type: Next, to identify your skin type, you need to do a skin test. Wash your face with a Face Wash before bedtime, and leave face without products overnight. In the morning, take a tissue and press onto your skin and observe. If you see oil patches, you have oily skin. But if only your T-Zone is oily, you have combination skin. If the tissue falls off your face, dry skin is what you have, while red or pink areas around your cheek and nose area would mean you have sensitive skin. If there are wrinkles, and fine lines on your face, you have mature skin. Finally, if your skin is slightly damp and looks fresh, after the skin test, you have hydrated and healthy normal skin. How to select a Day Cream to suit your skin type: After identifying your skin type, you can start using a day cream that is suitable for you. If you are using any product for the first time, we always recommend that you first do a patch test. Here’s a list of Spa Ceylon recommendations for day creams, both for your skin type and age group: – White Jasmine – Normal to Dry Skin (16 to 25 years) – White Rice – Normal to Dry Sensitive (30+ years) – Lotus & Rambutan – especially for Sensitive Skin, suitable for all skin types – Sal & Saffron – Dry, Dehydrated Skin True Turmeric – Normal to Dry Skin – Frankincense for Men – Normal to Dry Skin – Neem & Tea Tree – Oily & Acne-Prone Skin 97% skin damage happens from the sun, which means your day cream or day moisturizer needs to be followed by sunscreen. Spa Ceylon day creams are infused with SPF, so you can get the essential nourishment and hydration for your skin, along with sun protection, with one product. Question: I have dark marks around my eyes. Any good cream? Answer: Selecting suitable products for the skin around and under your eyes depends on your age and lifestyle. If you are a younger person who has dark circles due to studying, or regular online browsing, you can use the Spa Ceylon White Sandal Soothing Eye Serum. This serum helps to cool the skin around the eyes, offering soothing nourishment. If you have more permanent dark circles with pigmented skin, and a few fine lines around your eyes, we recommend the White Rice Intensive Under Eye Treatment Concentrate, which is best for tired under-eyes with puffiness, dull tone and discolouration around the eyes. This product has a smooth texture, and can be used during both day and night. Ideal for night time; to be applied before bedtime on cleansed skin. For dry under-eyes with wrinkles and fine lines, our recommendation is the Sal & Saffron Eye Zone Day & Night Treatment Concentrate. This is a powerful, and effective treatment infused with nourishing Sal butter, and Saffron, rich in Vitamin E, to soothe and protect the skin around as well as under the eyes, while defending against visible signs of skin aging. Question: I have pimples. What’s the best cream you have to reduce marks and clear my skin? Answer: Pimples are a symptom of acne, and often caused by excess oil on your skin, so it is recommended to not use a cream until your acne clears out. If you have acne and oily skin, you need to cleanse your face and control oil. We recommend you use the Spa Ceylon White Mint Facial Cleansing Foam to cleanse your face thoroughly both day and night. At night before bedtime, after cleansing your face, apply the Spa Ceylon Neem & Tea Tree Overnight Treatment Masque. It is a gel-like masque that helps to cure and soothe pimples. At Spa Ceylon, we believe that every question deserves a thoughtful answer relevant to your unique skin needs. Our international award-winning skincare range is carefully crafted from natural ingredients, to suit every skin type, and concern.
