FAQs
What is the best bath oil for relaxation and sleep?
The best bath oil for relaxation and sleep combines warm-water bathing with therapeutic fragrance. This Works deep sleep bath oil is infused with Lavender, Vetivert and Wild Camomile to help ease the transition from stimulation to relaxation. Add 1–2 capfuls to warm running water 30–45 minutes before bed, then layer Deep Sleep bodycare and pillow spray to support a consistent sleep routine.
Does bathing before bed actually help you sleep?
Yes, there are published studies supporting this. A warm bath 1-2 hours before bed raises core body temperature. On exiting the bath, body temperature drops rapidly. This rapid cooling mimics the natural thermal drop the body makes at sleep onset and signals to the circadian system that it is time to sleep. Pairing a warm bath with deep sleep bath oil adds a therapeutic fragrance helping ease the transition from stimulation to relaxation.
What is the 3-hour rule for candles?
To ensure a clean burn, trim wick to 5mm before lighting and place on a heat-resistant surface. For best results, burn for 2–3 hours on first use and no more than 4 hours at a time. Never leave unattended; stop using when 10mm of wax remains.
What is the difference between shower gel and body wash?
Shower gel and body wash both cleanse the skin, but the texture and feel can differ. Shower gels are usually lighter and more refreshing, while body washes often feel creamier and more moisturising. This Works bath and shower gels are sulphate-free to cleanse without stripping the skin, while our range of Functional Fragrances help energise your morning routine or support a calming pre-sleep wind-down, depending on the blend.
Can scented candles actually affect my mood?
Yes. Scent can influence mood because olfactory signals connect with areas of the brain involved in emotion, memory and relaxation. A scented candle can become a repeated sensory cue, helping create a calmer atmosphere for rest, focus or wind-down. This Works candles combine natural essential oil blends with mood-focused fragrance, designed to support your daily rituals as well as scent your space.
Are This Works candles formulated with therapeutic ingredients?
Yes. This Works candles are blended using terpene science to support mood, wellbeing and daily rituals, not simply scent a room. Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in botanicals and essential oils, selected for how their scent is processed by the brain and linked to emotion, memory and relaxation. Depending on the blend, our candles can help create a calming wind-down, uplifting morning moment or grounding atmosphere.
Explore bath oils, bath salts, shower gel and scented candles designed to transform everyday routines into calming bathing rituals. The collection combines aromatherapy bath oil, bath soak and home fragrance products with Lavender, Vetivert and Wild Camomile Functional Fragrance blends. Suitable for people who struggle to unwind or want to create a calmer evening environment, these bath and body essentials support relaxation, mood and better sleep through wellbeing-led home rituals and sensory self-care routines.
