Guided by the goddess of the moon

The goddess of the moon is your guide. Her name is Selene. She is the sister of Eos, goddess of the dawn: Eos opens the day, and Selene closes it. In the old poems, she drives her chariot across the night sky. One famous story tells of a shepherd named Endymion, who fell into an endless sleep on a mountain. Every night, Selene came down to watch over him.

Let the day end. The night will take care of the rest.

Your ritual, step by step

Lower the lights
1 min
Dim the lights and put your phone in another room. If you can see the moon from a window, look at it for a moment. Let your shoulders drop.
Cleanse
3 min
If you wear eye makeup, sprinkle a little Cloud 9 on a cotton pad, hold it on your closed eyes for a few seconds, and wipe softly. Then massage Cloud 9 over dry skin in slow circles, add a little lukewarm water and rinse. If you still feel the need, use a water-based cleanser or go in again with Cloud 9. Let your shoulders drop with every exhale.

Dewy Drops Radiance & Hydrating Serum
Seal

Warm Skin Silk between your palms and press it up and out from your neck to your forehead. Use what is left on your hands and your neck. It seals in hydration and supports your barrier overnight.

Her moment: moon breath
3 min
Sit or lie down comfortably. Breathe in for four counts and out for six. On each exhale, imagine setting something down. Pick one thing that can wait until tomorrow, and say to yourself, "Tomorrow." Keep breathing slowly until you feel ready for bed.

Make it yours

Ask

Ask your mother, your grandmother or an older woman you trust: what did you do to fall asleep when your mind was racing? Was there a song, a prayer, a lullaby?
