Is Beauty Sleep Real and Effective?
There are many wonderful beauty products and treatments that can help you address a variety of concerns. However, it’s important to pay attention to the fundamentals, such as diet, lifestyle, and sleep!
One of the most basic ways to get fresh, glowing skin is a good night’s rest. Not getting enough sleep is all too easy in our hectic day-to-day lives. However, the results are always written clearly on our faces the next day.
Something wonderful happens when we sleep—our body regenerates. We release a youth-activating hormone that builds our muscle, bones, and skin. The result is that we look stronger, healthier, and younger. Sleep is part of the normal tissue repair cycle. It would be fair to say that sleep is one of the most underrated beauty tools around. In fact, a good night’s rest should be pursued as part of your regular beauty regimen.
Six Tips to Optimize Beauty Sleep
Here are six tips to help optimize the beauty benefits of a good night’s sleep.
- Try to go to bed by 10 pm. You should aim for 8 hours a night
- Turn of your phone and electronic devices
- Stop caffeine intake by 3pm—it’s dehydrating
- Avoid television before bed—it stimulates the brain
- Try to limit fluid intake after 5 PM so you don’t have to get up in the middle of the night
- Apply a couple drops of lavender essential oil to your pillowcase
A good night’s sleep is the ultimate luxury. Not only will you feel and function better, you will reap the benefits of more radiant, younger looking skin.
