FINDING TRANQUIL

Introduce some positive self-care to your life with the Tranquilli­ty range by Comfort Zone, which focuses on relaxing and unwinding.

- WORDS BY DONNA DUGGAN

It’s natural to focus on the daily stresses of modern life because they demand our attention. And while you may feel like you don’t have the time, space or resources to take time out from these stresses each day, your mental, physical and spiritual health will thank you if you do.

Stress is a normal part of life, it’s your body’s reaction to a challenge or demand. But when the demands are constant or excessive, stress can lead to other mental health problems like anxiety and physical illness such as cardiovasc­ular disease.

The word ‘stress’ was first used in physics, indicating how much tension a material can support before arriving at its breaking point. In other words, its level of resistance. When dealing with our own stress, having a daily routine that allows us to relax and unwind can protect us from reaching our own breaking point.

If you feel constant fatigue, have poor sleep, muscle tension, lack motivation or have a dull complexion, your body may be sending you signals that you need to start focusing more on relaxation. Carving some time out every day for a nourishing beauty ritual is one way to introduce some positive self-care in your life. The Tranquilli­ty range by Comfort Zone focusses on de-stressing, relaxing and unwinding. This aromatic nourishing bath and body system contains a blend of essential oils that help you manage stress and rediscover a sense of profound tranquilit­y and wellbeing.

“More than ever, these days we all need moments to de-stress and regenerate both body and mind, and to ensure we can turn the indoor time we are somehow forced to embrace, into a wellbeing ritual,” says Barbara Gavazzoli from Comfort Zone. “This is the core benefit of our iconic aromathera­py line Tranquilli­ty, with its distinctiv­e blend of Sweet Orange, Damascus Rose and Cedarwood.”

Essential oils are found in plant’s leaves, resins, branches, wood, flowers, roots and in peels of fruits. The use of essential oils activate the nervous and endocrine systems, the centre of our emotional responses, and positively manifests on the skin.

Primarily composed of cedarwood and sweet orange essential oils, Comfort Zone’s Tranquilli­ty blend balances mind and body, contrastin­g stress and tension, leaving your skin with a delicate, aromatic fragrance. The aromatic notes of Tranquilli­ty are captured by the olfactive receptors, directly reaching the limbic system, stimulatin­g a positive emotive response of tranquilit­y and wellbeing.

“Created back in 1997, when the brand was launched, Tranquilli­ty has been the key feature of the Comfort Zone Tranquilli­ty Welcome, opening of all our facials and body-spa treatments around the world, and of the Tranquilli­ty Pro-Sleep Massage, leveraging the benefits of this aroma, along with specific massage techniques developed with Dr Aguirre, a neuroscien­tist, and an exclusive calming soundtrack. Consumers loved this blend so much that we had the idea to also feature it in a bath and body home-care line,” says Gavazzoli.

The Comfort Zone Tranquilli­ty range includes a range of products to help you de-stress, including the Aromatic Oil Blend, Nourishing Oil, Shower Cream, Body Cream and Body Lotion, all featuring an exclusive blend of essential oils. Used daily, they offer a nurturing self-care routine.

“We have curated the selection of the packaging to make it very exclusive and yet very sustainabl­e: glass and recycled plastic and paper packaging, fully CO2 compensate­d and all the formulas are designed by our internal R&D lab and manufactur­ed in Italy with energy from renewable resources. Since then, it has been a bestseller, along with our face anti-ageing categories. I can assure you, once you take a deep breath of it, you will remember it forever!” says Gavazzoli.

“THESE DAYS, WE ALL NEED MOMENTS TO DE-STRESS.”
