A Beginner’s Guide to Building a Nature-Based Nighttime Routine
By Moneque Waite
Let’s be honest: winding down isn’t always easy.
Between blue-light overload, busy schedules, and overthinking everything at 10:43 p.m., your nervous system’s not exactly ready to rest. That’s where a nature-based nighttime ritual comes in—grounded in routine, inspired by the Earth, and infused with full-spectrum calm.
At Green Heart, we believe skincare isn’t just about glowing skin—it’s about honoring the body, reconnecting to the present, and finding peace before bed.
🌿 Why Nature Belongs in Your Nighttime Routine
Your body is wired to respond to natural cues: warm light, calming scents, rhythmic touch. When you bring the elements of nature into your nighttime routine, your brain and body begin to soften, slow down, and reset.
Plant-based ingredients like lavender, chamomile, almond oil, and full-spectrum CBD work together to:
-
Reduce stress and overthinking
-
Hydrate and soothe tired skin
-
Support deeper, more restful sleep
-
Signal to your body: “You’re safe. You can rest.”

💫 Your Nature-Inspired Bedtime Ritual
Try this 5-step flow to help your body release the day and prepare for restoration:
🕯 Step 1: Dim the Lights
Signal to your body that it’s time to shift gears. Light a candle. Turn off harsh lighting. Let your nervous system ease into soft, low light.
🧖🏽♀️ Step 2: Cleanse & Hydrate
After washing your face or showering, apply our Good Greens Face & Body Oil or Lovely Lavender Body Oil using slow, upward motions. These oils nourish your skin while introducing grounding aromas.
🌼 Step 3: CBD Balm Ritual
Massage our Relax Me Creamy Balm into pressure points: temples, shoulders, wrists, and soles of the feet. Let chamomile and CBD work together to relax your muscles and melt stress.
🫖 Step 4: Disconnect
Put your phone in another room. Sip warm tea. Read a few pages. Journal one sentence about what you’re letting go of tonight.
😴 Step 5: Rest & Receive
Lay down. Place your palms on your chest or stomach. Breathe in for four counts, exhale for six. You don’t need to force rest. You just need to welcome it.
🌸 What Makes CBD Ideal for Nighttime?
-
Naturally supports the endocannabinoid system (your body’s internal balance system)
-
Reduces tension and overstimulation
-
Pairs beautifully with calming essential oils like lavender, chamomile, and eucalyptus
-
Works through topical absorption without entering the bloodstream—so it’s relaxing, not sedating

Can I use body oil before bed?
Yes! Our oils are lightweight, absorb quickly, and help lock in moisture while you sleep. Bonus: their aromas also support relaxation.
Will CBD make me sleepy?
Not directly—but it supports relaxation by reducing tension and stress, which makes it easier to fall asleep.
Do I need a full routine or can I just use one product?
You can keep it simple! Even applying balm to your feet and taking three deep breaths is a powerful act of nighttime self-care.
