Sleep, glorious sleep. A good night’s kip does wonders for our health and wellbeing but is often hard to come by.
That’s why at GLAMOUR, we avidly seek out the best sleep-boosting remedies, from lotions that promise to help you nod off to genius breathing exercises you can practise before bed.
The latest product amassing rave reviews for its sleep-inducing effects is Aroma Active Laboratories’ Sleep Salt Soak.
Aroma Active Laboratories’ Sleep Salt Soak, £15, captured the attention of sleep disturbed consumers up and down the country when it launched last November, exceeding all sales expectations by selling out on Boots.com. At its peak, the new wellness brand sold one product a minute, shifting the equivalent of five months’ worth of stock in a week.
It also received glowing reviews from influencer Jamie Genevieve, who said in her YouTube video: “This is one of the salts that I’ll definitely be getting again. It’s got Epsom salts, hops, valerian root extract, magnesium and oh my goodness, the sleep that I had afterwards after having a bath with these in it was so incredible. It was so so good.”
Entrepreneur and beauty influencer Ruth Crilly also lauded the benefits of the salts, saying: “Each time I was completely knocked out afterwards so I thought they were really really good. It’s a brand well worth looking at”.
So what’s all the fuss about? According to the brand, the salts are made up of a relaxing blend of essential oils known for their calming and centring effects, including lavandin, which contains Linalool and Linalyl Acetate known to promote relaxation. It also has Buddhawood known to have a calming and centring effect, promoting balance and harmony, Valerian known for its calming effect, widely used to promote good quality sleep and Ylang Ylang lauded for its sleep benefits.
