Explore pleasure with this self-care routine
With the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's not always easy prioritizing our wellbeing. Yet, taking time to relax and rejuvenate is crucial to your physical, mental and emotional health.
Whether you already have a self-care routine or are looking for a way to fit one into your packed schedule, we’re here to help. First things first: wellness isn’t exclusive to morning skincare regimens or evening jogs. It’s an inside-out, full-body experience. Below, we’ll break down some ways you can feel good from head to toe.
Rejuvenate your body
Whether on a construction site, building a company from an in-home office or chasing kids around all day, many of us work hard around-the-clock. And even when we’re off, the stress of tomorrow keeps our minds racing.
These periods of mental tension are felt in our bodies. They activate stress responses that result in quick and shallow breaths and increased heart rate and blood pressure. To return to a calm, safe and healthful state, take several deep, slow breaths.
Focusing on the breath is one of the easiest, and quickest, ways to reduce stress symptoms and begin to rejuvenate your body. Another way is indulge in cleansing rituals using plant-based essentials, such as our Intimate Skin Foaming Wash, that nourish your body.
Relax Body & Massage Oil
Give yourself a gentle massage.
Once you’ve taken care of your scalp and head, move on to the rest of your body. Treat your shoulders, back, arms, legs and feet with a self-massage. Relax Body and Massage Oil has a luxurious slip that moisturizes your body as it heals.
Formulated with organic ingredients, it helps relax the body and soothe sore muscles. With a few pumps of oil, use your hands to manipulate your own muscles. Press and rub gently or knead the skin with more pressure as you move through your body.
Enjoy some solo play
One of the most effective ways to relieve pain, unwind and experience pleasure is through masturbation. When you have an orgasm, you release a cocktail of healthful hormones. For instance, the release of endorphins acts as a natural pain-killer, while oxytocin helps counteract stress. Even more, exploring your own body is a beautiful (and fun!) way to build self-intimacy, confidence and pleasure.
For added gratification, introduce Desire Sensual Pleasure Oil to your solo sessions. Formulated with organic ingredients, Desire is a clean, feel-good formula that increases pleasure before and during intimate moments. It’s safe to massage on the vulva skin, clitoris, inner thighs, penis and surrounding areas.
