🌙 Smoke & Soak – Your Post-Bonfire Night Reset Ritual

Bonfire Night is one of those magical evenings that makes you feel like a kid again — fireworks in the sky, the smell of woodsmoke in the air, wrapped up warm with a toffee apple in one hand and a sparkler in the other. ✨

But once the last spark has faded and you get home, let’s be honest — you’re often left feeling a bit smoky, windswept, and worn out.

If you’ve ever come home with bonfire smoke clinging to your clothes, hair, and skin (ugh), you know exactly what I mean.

That’s where your post-bonfire reset ritual comes in. A warm, soothing soak… a gentle cleanse… a little fragrance magic to banish the bonfire smell and replace it with calm and comfort.

Here’s how to wash away the night and step into pure pampering mode — Pixie style. 🧚♀️

🔥 Step 1: Draw a Steamy, Scented Bath

Let’s start with the soak.

Run a warm bath (as hot as you like it), and add a generous handful of your favourite Aroma Pixies Epsom salts or bath soaks. Choose a scent to match your mood:

• Feeling frazzled? Try Bedtime or Dream On for a calming, sleepy wind-down

• Need a lift? Go with Refreshing — it’s crisp, zingy and clears your head

• Want to stay connected to the outdoors? Try Nature or Woodland for grounding, earthy vibes

The magnesium in Epsom salts soothes tired muscles, and the scent works wonders for your mood.

Bonus points for fairy lights, candles, and a mug of something warm.

🧴 Step 2: Cleanse the Day Away

While you soak, use a gentle, skin-loving cleanser or scrub to help remove any smoke residue or grime — especially if you’ve been near an actual bonfire.

Then move on to your hair. Smoke loves to cling to it like glitter to a carpet — so give your scalp a really good massage with your favourite shampoo. A double-wash works wonders here.

Wrap your hair in a soft towel and take a moment to just breathe. That’s the smoke sorted.

🌸 Step 3: Moisturise & Mist

Now for the finishing touches.

While your skin is still slightly damp, lock in the moisture with a nourishing body lotion or  maybe body butter. Choose one that complements your bath scent — or go with a comforting classic like vanilla, musk, or soft florals.

Then spritz on your favourite perfume oil or body spray — something that lingers gently and reminds you that you’re fresh, warm, and properly pampered.

💙 Bonus Step: Make It a Monthly Ritual

This isn’t just a post-Bonfire Night routine. It’s a little love letter to yourself — a way to slow down, breathe, and rinse away the outside world whenever you need it.

So even after the last firework fizzles out, this ritual can be your go-to whenever you need a bit of calm and care.
