Hi Everyone!

At christmas, I had the absolute pleasure of testing this miracle bedtime body lotion which everyone in the UK is raving about when I discovered it in my stocking on christmas morning. I had actually seen the product before inside my nearest Lush store at the Potteries Centre in Stoke-On-Trent and seen the massive hype about the product all over Instagram and Facebook. I prayed that santa would bring me this product. It’s almost as if he knew I was struggling to get to sleep.

I am one of those people who procrastinates for long lengths of time when I go to sleep, thinking about the ins and outs about my next shift at work, worrying if I am going to get up on time in the morning and even what we are going to have for tea tomorrow night. It  sounds ridiculous but I really struggle to just relax at bedtime. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes I just collapse into bed and that’s it, out. However, most of the time I do really struggle.

My Gran always tells me about qualities that lavender oil has and the ways in which it can help in day-to-day life, but I honestly did not realise how good it was until now.

I swear she carries a little bottle in her bag everywhere she goes. Lavender oil and Tee Tree oil. Tee Tree Oil that she nearly blinded herself once, mistaking them for eye drops one night. But that is another story all together!

Honestly, this product massively lived up to the online reviews. It’s made with naturally occurring ingredients that are never tested on animals and is also packaged in recycled containers which feels really good knowing this when using. The main element of the lotion is lavender, which endless studies have shown can help decrease stress levels, reduce heart rate and make it far easier to relax.

It isn’t going to knock you out as soon as you hit the pillow but gosh it does make it easier to nod off! Honestly, once you try this dreamy body lotion also combined with an oatmeal infusion, you will never stress sleep again. It smells gorgeous. Every person who has tried the product in my family has said it is one of the best things that they have ever smelt. I’m sure I can smell notes of ginger but the ingredient isn’t even in the tub! How does that work? It smells different every time you use it. I’ve tried other lavender lotions and pillow sprays before but they do not work anywhere near as good as this.

Before I go to sleep, I sit upright in bed in my pajamas and pick up the pot which is permanently placed right next to my bed on my little side table. Yes. This is how much I rely on the product. I simply lather the smallest amount on my arms, neck and chest in a thin layer so that way I can smell the cream when I’m lying down, trying to get to sleep. The first time I tried this, I couldn’t even tell you how long it took me to fall asleep. I can’t remember. It must have been instant. Don’t get me wrong, there are times when I don’t put it on because I don’t think I have time and just simply want to go to bed straight away but gosh, I do suffer. 

In terms of where to buy then Lush Sleepy Bedtime Lotion, Im afraid there is only one place. Lush

If I am being honest, the price of Lush stuff is always going to be slightly more expensive than other places such as The Body Shop but for this product, it is honestly worth the price and double. I recommend buying the smallest tub to start with. From personal experience, I have had the tub since December and I haven’t even used a quarter of it because you only really need a thin later. So unless you really like the product and want a tub that will last around five years, go for the 95g. 

• £8.75 – 95g Small Size Tub 
• £15.95 – 215g Medium Size Tub
• £26.95 – 440g Large Size Tub

Overall, I would recommend this product above every bedtime sleeping product that I have ever tried whether that be roller ball essential oils and mood lights. This is down to personal preference however. Some of you may hate body lotions or might even be allergic to the stuff. Regardless, if you are someone who cannot sleep very well, like myself, introduce Lavender into your sleeping routine. Honestly, It will make a world of difference. 

Bedtime Product Rating – 5/5
