Bathing before going to bed will naturally raise your body temperature, make blood circulation smoother, and promote blood flow speed and water pressure, which will speed up the metabolism of the whole body and allow every inch of your skin to be completely relaxed.

Before going to bed, it is best to enjoy a bath. Especially in the dry autumn and winter, a DIY aromatherapy bath at home is the most suitable. Put a tub of water in the bathtub and let the charming aromatherapy relax your tense nerves and brighten your mood.

The beautiful expression will leave an impression on your brain, and you will become a real "Sleeping Beauty". Massaging your face can not only promote sleep but also allow your skin to be further nourished before you completely "fall asleep", fully activating the best effects of night care products.

3. Music and milk: good companions for sleep

After a long day of exposure, the skin will be particularly tired at night. Use the time before going to bed to listen to music and immerse yourself in the tranquil and gentle mood created by the music. This will soothe your mind and skin and increase your skin's ability to absorb skin care products.

In the morning, when the skin has just awakened after a full night of sleep, playing a piece of music such as the zither or bamboo flute, which is elegant and lively, combined with massage and maintenance movements, can activate skin cells and clear the mind.

Drink a glass of hot milk before going to bed, its rich calcium and tryptophan can relax muscles.

Milk contains two hypnotic substances, which can combine with the central nervous system or peripheral opioid receptors to create a feeling of comfort throughout the body, which is conducive to falling asleep and relieving fatigue.

The hypnotic effect is particularly obvious in people with neurasthenia caused by physical weakness.

Expert comment: Drinking ice milk on an empty stomach can help with bowel movements. One reason is that the cold stimulation accelerates intestinal movement, and the other is that there is a large amount of lactose in milk, and more than half of the Chinese people lack the lactase needed to absorb milk. So after drinking milk, lactose enters the colon without being digested and is quickly excreted from the body.

Finally, the editor would like to say that in order to ensure a good sleep, in addition to the milk and music mentioned above, the following items can help you have a better sleep: cotton bedding, eye masks, sometimes you may want to try some background music, maintain the ideal room temperature at around 20°C, and according to scientific research, the best sleeping position is lying on your back.
