I've mentioned before that a skincare "ritual" was never really my thing, but over the past few years, I’ve discovered how powerful these quiet, intentional moments can be. Now, my evening routine has become something I look forward to—not just as a way to care for my skin but as a moment of connection and reflection. At the heart of my ritual are two beautiful plant medicines: Blue Lotus Oil and Blue Lotus Tea. Together, they’ve transformed my nights into something calming, grounding, and deeply nourishing for both my skin and my spirit.

Why Blue Lotus?

Blue Lotus has been used for centuries for its calming and heart-opening properties. Known for its subtle but profound effects on the mind and body, Blue Lotus helps ease tension and promotes relaxation. In ancient traditions, it was often used to enhance meditation and spiritual practices, and today, I’ve found it to be the perfect companion in my nighttime ritual. Blue Lotus Oil, blended with nourishing Moringa Oil, works wonders for the skin, while Blue Lotus Tea calms the mind and prepares me for a restful sleep. 

My Evening Skincare Ritual with Blue Lotus:  

The ritual starts with a gentle cleanse. After a long day, I love washing away the day’s energy and feeling refreshed. Then, I reach for my Blue Lotus & Moringa Oil. This blend is packed with vitamins A, C, and E, along with essential minerals like calcium and potassium, which deeply hydrate and rejuvenate the skin.

But this isn’t just about skincare—it's a moment to ground myself. Before applying the oil, I like to treat it just like I do with cacao. I take a deep breath, close my eyes, and thank the earth and all those involved in bringing this plant medicine into my hands. Then, I gently massage it into my face and chest, allowing the soothing scent of Blue Lotus to wash over me. As the oil absorbs my skin, I run any left over from my hands through my hair. 

I then take a short moment to do some mirror work—a quiet reflection where I affirm what I’m grateful for or set an intention for the night ahead.

Continuing the Ritual with Blue Lotus Tea:

After my skincare ritual, I like to complete my evening with a cup of Blue Lotus Tea. As someone who loves working with dreams, this tea has become an important part of my wind-down. Blue Lotus is known for its ability to promote vivid and lucid dreaming, thanks to its natural compounds like aporphine, which help relax the body and mind.

For me, this tea is a way to deepen my connection to nature before bed. It has a gentle, calming effect that brings my mind to a peaceful state. I find it helps me settle into the present moment, letting go of any lingering thoughts from the day. As I sip, I focus on the warmth of the tea and allow it to prepare my mind for rest, creating a space where I can explore my dreams with more clarity and intention.

Why I Love This Ritual:

This evening routine has become more than just a habit—it’s a grounding practice that connects me to the earth, my body, and the present moment. Blue Lotus Oil not only nourishes my skin but helps me slow down and appreciate the quiet moments. And with the addition of Blue Lotus Tea, I’ve found that my nights are more restful, and my dreams are more vivid and meaningful.

If you’re looking for a simple but powerful way to wind down at night, I encourage you to try adding Blue Lotus to your routine. Whether you use the oil, the tea, or both, these plant medicines offer a beautiful way to connect with nature and yourself before bed.

My skincare ritual with Blue Lotus Oil and Tea has completely transformed my nights. It’s a simple but intentional practice that I now cherish. These moments of calm, reflection, and connection with nature help me unwind from the day and prepare for a peaceful night of rest. If you’re curious about creating your own ritual, start with something small. You’ll be amazed at how much these mindful moments can enhance both your skincare and your overall well-being.
