Creating a calming nighttime routine at the end of your day can be a great way to implement self-care and take a much-needed moment of relaxation from the busyness of everyday life. That being said, Madame Noire got the chance to hear from wellness expert Kelsey Patel on easy ways you can use five products from Love, Beauty, and Planet’s new BELOVED line to recenter and find wholeness when the day comes to an end. The line comes in over seven different unique scent combinations which can be found at your local Target — but to get the most out of Kelsey’s tips which are shared down below, try them out using the brand’s Lavender & Hyssop Collection.

If you’re into bath bombs, Patel shared that one way to have a relaxing and unwinding experience at the end of your day is to get into the tub with Love, Beauty, and Planet’s Bath Bomb as you listen to some relaxing music. For her, “putting this lavender bath bomb in the bath during evening hours and playing incredibly soothing and soft sounds like binaural beats or reiki healing music” is a great way to find some zen. Having low lighting, burning a candle, or opening a window for some fresh air are all ways you can make the moment into a ritual — and Patel added that “infusing the water with an intention prior to getting in really gives one full permission to clear and release the day while letting the relaxing lavender do its work in helping your body and mind.”
As she suggested, “laying out pajamas and brewing a healing cup of detox dandelion or calming chamomile tea” will give your bath time added bonuses.

Who doesn’t love a nice hot shower at the end of a stressful day…? Patel suggested that rather than using a simple bar of soap, the luxuriously scented Shower & Bath Gel from BELOVED’s range can be used before bed to create “an incredibly pampering ritual” and should be used in addition to whatever else you might already do to “invite slowness and ease into your evening.” According to the expert, “Shower gels are a simple and easy way to uplift any bathing experience,” so with that in mind, make sure you’re using them strategically every day to take a break from life’s stressors.

“Body scrubs are so incredible at removing debris and old, dead skin cells which can translate into old energy!” Patel shared. Talking about how she implements them in her personal nighttime routine, she explained, “I’ll usually take a bath prior to using a body scrub for the ultimate clearing — but a long shower works as well to soften the skin and help you really feel the impact a body scrub can offer.” When using a scrub such as the Whipped Lavender & Hyssop one from Love, Beauty Planet, Patel said that “thanking one’s body and skin for its protection and the build-up of resilient energy” it holds can make all the difference. Also, she recommended “asking the body for a beautiful clearing reset of your energy to gain a new brightness and openness for what’s next.”

We all know how important it is to hydrate our bodies with water each day, but with the busyness of life on the go in can be easy to forget the importance of hydrating our skin. Speaking on this, Patel noted that with so many more moments at home over this past year and all of our daily routines being shifted and disrupted, “You’d be surprised how many people are actually skipping out on things like moisturizing their skin.”
With that in mind, the expert said that “using a nourishing Body Cream like the one in the BELOVED line is an act of self-love to one’s skin and muscles.” After a shower, she suggested “taking a few moments afterward to slowly and intentionally rub body cream into the muscles to really rejuvenate and refresh your body at the end of the day.”

Last but not least, using a fine fragrance mist can be a simple and effective way to implement some self-care through aromatherapy. According to Patel, “Using sprays that incorporate smells, such as this Lavender & Hyssop Spray from BELOVED can help calm the mind.”
Even throughout the day, the expert noted that “the simple act of taking a moment between meetings or projects to use a mist can make you feel like you’re clearing the energy between events — and giving yourself permission to consciously change gears. It’s easy, quick, and supportive in clearing energy or built-up tension,” she shared. As a boost to the practice, the expert’s final tidbit of advice was to say a positive affirmation like, “I am now clear and free to release this energy and relax” while spraying the mist — regardless of the time of day — as a surefire way to find some calm.
