Badger Lavender & Bergamont Sleep Balm

I have been testing this on my temples (I didn't want to apply this all over the recommended areas straight away) and I'm so glad I didn't. Every time I use this sleep balm on my temples, the next day I wake up with little pimple like spots on both sides. I don't know what they are but for my skin to react like that each time I use the sleep balm, it's telling me it's not good for my skin. And that's actually a shame because I found the subtle scent to be rather calming but it just doesn't agree with my skin for some reason. I do still enjoy sniffing it before bed though lol. It really is a soothing scent.

I received a full size sample of the Badger Lavender and Bergamot Sleep Balm in a Goodie Box subscription awhile back. It immediately sounded appealing to me as I love Aromatherapy products. The packaging is cute and looks a bit vintage. I struggle to fall asleep most nights as I work full time and come home to an active toddler and find it hard to wind down most nights. I applied the Badger Balm as directed. It has a really lovely Lavender and Bergamot mix scent. I also tried dabbing a bit under my nose and found it more effective. I definitely felt more relaxed so I could drift off to sleep. I use this most nights and do feel like I sleep better due to the aromatherapy oils in the product.

I received this little tin of delight as a gift from my Mother who purchased it off Iherb (latest obsession) & when I first saw it, I fell in love with the adorable tin but I was a bit skeptic of the whole concept & idea of a sleep balm made of natural ingredients, when you pop off the lid, the scent is a gentle mixture of Lavender & Bergamot & I was worried that the formula wouldn't be potent enough to have any real effect but this little beauty proved me wrong :) I have had blissful uninterrupted sleep since I've been using it (coming up 2 weeks) & every night I dream & can remember all of it in the morning. You don't need much & the formula is not hard like some of my other tinned products which need a little warming up before you can get a decent application. I put it on my temples, under nose, lips, chest & the aromas are quite noticeable once you've applied :) I am also pleased to announce that my acne prone skin didn't find this product irritating or pore blocking, so super happy that I can apply it anywhere & not break out :) A super gift from a super Mum!

I've got two Badger Balms; this and the stress soother and I have to say I absolutely LOVE them!!

This balm is an organic tin of yellow goodness!! Citrus and lavender are the most prominent scents I can smell from this, it does say that there is also ginger and rosemary in it.

This is the last product I apply/use before I go to sleep every night. I rub and work it into my temples, neck and under my nose (so it's the last thing I smell before I drift off). I can't stress enough how utterly yummy the smell is to me.

A little goes a long way with this rub, it is quite solid so unless you dig into it with a spoon, you arent in any danger of using too much of it and you know its going to last for a long time. I got mine from iHerb for a very cheap price so I will repurchase and 100% recommend to all.

I've become a little obsessed with badger balms of late and valid reason too, I have not come across anything that is false to their statements.

The sleep balm is wonderful for those nights when sleep just won't come, or if your too stressed to just let go and relax. The yellow balm inside the beautiful tin is jam packed with essential oils. Rubbing it makes the oils warm which increasing its potency.

At night I rub a small about on my temples, wrist and neck line, I sleep on my wrists so I go off to nod land pretty quickly once I start inhaling this. As stated I would probably be less heavy handed if I had oily skin but luckily I don't and use of the balm doesn't leave any oily mess or reside even on bed linen, no trace of it being on me except the lingering aroma.

Found recently since I started to use it due to the hubby snoring keeping me awake that his snoring in fact has weaken, not sure if the scent is effecting his sleep pattern to a more comfortable easy one but whatever it is I hope it don't stop soon.

I will admit I purchased the Badger Sleep Balm just because the packaging was cute and it was on special, but I really love this product!

I have now used every night for the last week and I'm not sure if it has improved my sleep but it certainly relaxes me before sleepy time. Even my other half likes to use it now!

I really love the fragrance as it isn't to over powering and I have always loved the smell over lavender, it reminds me of my Nana.

I love this balm so much! The tin it comes in is so extremely adorable that I had to have it, it looks very cute on my bedside table. I apply a little bit to my temples and wrists when I go to bed and it is very soothing. It smells great and although I'm not sure if it changes the quality of my sleep much it definitely gives me a nice sense of well-being.

I absolutely love these tins they are so cute, vintage type tins and fit perfectly in your handbag or in your bedside drawer.

I just rub a little under nose , temples and on my chest.

It has a sweet slight lavender smell to it, but it's not overpowering at all, it's quite pleasant The aroma really calms and relaxes you, and puts you at peace.

I have been using it every night for at least 2 weeks now and I find it helps to settle my mind, It doesn't put you too sleep but aids to relax you into the transition of sleep. I'm one of those people who goes to bed and my mind just ticks over anything and everything, since I've been using this my mind had definitely been less active. I use it on my little one aswell to help him off to the land of dreams and he just loves it.

The balm is quite moisturising aswell, A little goes a long way once emulsified in your fingers, this product will last you a very long time!

I really love this product and swear by it, for helping me unwind from a long busy day.

This is one of those products that I bought because of the packaging. The tin is just too cute for words!

I bought this on a Badger hoard, and it is probably the balm I thought I would use the least, but thought it would be handy to have, just in case.

It's not too lavendery (I'm not a huge lavender fan and I find strong smells do not help me relax).

The balm is a perfect consistancy - it's not runny nor clumpy and it applies really well - it rubs in to the skin and is absorbed well - you're not left with oily residue.

Does it help you sleep? I'm not sure about that - but massaging it in to your neck and shoulders does feel wonderfully relaxing and the smell is calming.

I think part of it's charm is that by using it you're actively focusing on relaxing - you're not checking your phone or tablet in bed!
