Badger Lavender & Bergamont Sleep Balm

I really like this stuff. I was tempted a while ago by lovely ladies in the forums and so made an order from iHerb. I'm always looking for new things to make me sleep better so I couldn't wait to try this.

The balm comes in a tin which is kinda hard to open - it doesn't twist off but pops off with difficulty, I'm yet to work out a way to get it off easily. I apply the balm to my wrists, feet, under my nose, my neck, my temples... literally anywhere, and not in that order (if I put any on my feet it's last!). It's easy to get enough on your finger to do this, and it massages in really easily.

The smell is... different. It's not overly lavender-y and it's definitely not overly bergamot. It IS however, a really nice combination of the lavender, bergamot, rosemary... everything. Every scent in this balm marries so perfectly together, and it really is quite relaxing.

I find that the balm doesn't send me off to the land of nod but it does help my brain to relax. A lot of the time it smears onto my pillow, and I can still smell it the next morning. It's a gorgeous product and I'll buy it again :-)

I'm super excited to review this sleep balm. I was a bit dubious at first as I thought it would be just another one of those gimmicky natural products. Anyway, I got one in my beauty subscription boxes and I fell absolute head in heels love with it. I struggle to get to sleep sometimes due to studying and having my head full of technical stuff, so I have been using this sleep balm to settle me in for the night and get me to sleep. The Lavender and Bergamot have nice relaxing properties that help your body wind down. The smell is just heaven and I love the feeling of the balm on my skin. Its easy to apply and I really like how handy the little containers are. You can buy this in a small tin or a big tin, I have the small one, but once this is finished, will definitely be buying a big one. I apply it to my temple, in a downward sweep and massage for about half a minute and then in circular movements at the side of my head. I can feel it working even when I'm massaging and it just feels so good. I love it and I have also purchased other products in their range.

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.
