Article highlights –
- Rest is essential for skin renewal and recovery.
- Melatonin rises a few hours before bedtime, which helps fights skin damage and environmental factors. It also helps repair skin complexion.
- Cortisol is a stress hormone that can be caused by lack of sleep. This breaks down skin collagen causing a lack of firmness, elasticity and smoothness.
- Less sleep leads to premature aging and aggravated skin
- Important to plan ahead and get the recommended amount of sleep of 6-8 hours
- Lack of sleep causes dark circles and bags under your eyes
- It’s best if you can have a ‘normal sleep schedule’
- Silk pillowcases are beneficial for skin hair as it contains natural proteins and amino acids to prevent aging.
- Investing in a proper mattress (something we don’t do enough of, guilty myself) such as high density memory foam – they are temperature regulating.
