Your Wellness & Recovery Routine Using Lavender & Crate Essentials

A Simple, Satisfying Wellness Routine—From Morning Focus to Nighttime Calm

Wellness doesn’t have to be complicated. With a few intentional steps—and thoughtfully formulated products—you can support energy during the day and deep rest at night. Here’s a practical routine using favourites from our Wellness & Recovery collection.

Morning: Wake Up, Hydrate, Protect
  • Warm shower + gentle cleanse: Start with a hydrating wash to soften skin and prep for leave-on care.
  • Light body hydration: Apply a fast-absorbing lotion to arms and legs to support your skin barrier. If you’re active or stand all day, add a light layer of magnesium lotion to calves and feet for easy-start mornings.
  • Micro-reset: Two slow breaths before stepping into your day. Small rituals, big impact.
Midday: Release Tension, Keep Going
  • Movement minute: Stretch shoulders, roll ankles, unclench jaw.
  • Spot treatment: Massage a pea-sized amount of balm into tight areas (neck, forearms, lower back). The massage + occlusive texture helps soften tension.
  • Hydration check: Skin and muscles love water—sip steadily.
Evening: Rinse the Day Away
  • Warm bath or shower: Heat helps muscles loosen naturally.
  • Self-massage: Apply Calm and Rest Magnesium Lotion in slow, circular motions to legs, feet, and any tight areas. Think “slow and steady”—this is your off-switch.
  • Sleep ritual: Dim lights, limit screens, and choose a calming scent. Consistency is what teaches your body it’s safe to rest.
Weekends: Recovery Boost 
  • Exfoliate hands or rough spots once or twice a week to smooth skin and improve absorption of moisturizers.
  • Long-walk recovery: After longer activity, apply magnesium lotion over calves.
Why This Works
  • Small daily inputs compound: hydration + circulation + nervous system regulation = steadier energy and better sleep.
  • Touch is therapeutic: gentle massage signals calm through the vagus nerve.
  • Barrier-first skincare: nourished skin retains moisture and feels comfortable day to night.
