There are 3 things I put on every. single. solitary night right before bed and it hasn’t changed for the last 6 years (no exaggeration). I so often talk about the new products I’m loving that I forget to mention my most tried and true favorites. Well, that’s exactly what today’s post is about! 3 things I truly couldn’t live without.
EOS Lip Balm
I have really dry skin (more on that next) and I’ve tried *everything*. From $30 lip masks to everything you can possibly find at the drugstore and for me, EOS wins every time. I have one in my nightstand drawer, on my desk, in my car console, and one in my person at all times! I truly feel lost without it.
Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream
I’ve been using this on my eczema since high school and it is the only thing that works for me (+ a gluten free diet). Same as the lip balm, trust me I’ve tried it all. I lather this on my hands every night to prevent them from cracking and bleeding, and put a good amount on my elbows (the first place my eczema always shows up).
Essential Oil Immunity Roller
I don’t think there has been a single night since 2015 that I have skipped this step. I am a firm believer in Young Living Oils and use them for pretty much everything. I don’t absorb most of what I take in orally so pain killers, supplements, etc aren’t very effective for me. I can’t tell you the relief I felt when I found essential oils (thanks to my sister Allie!). I finally had something to help pain, headaches, and the biggest – immunity. If you think oils are just hype, this roller is proof they are not. When applied preventively it has saved me from getting virus and virus that has gone through my family. I respond extra negatively to common virus’s so an added layer of protection is truly such a blessing.
My favorite example is the time Dan kissed me goodnight as I was leaving his house while we were dating…pulled away…ran to the bathroom and thew up. Stomach flu. And I DIDN’T GET IT. I used my roller every couple hours the next day while awaiting my fate and it never hit me! After that Dan became a believer and he even has his own roller in his nightstand drawer. I have countless examples like this.
I will say, the smell is strong. The oregano smells exactly like what you think, so our bedroom smells like a subway sub every night. The smell diminishes by morning which is why I put it on before bed.
Ingredients
