How does sleep heal our skin? We all know sleep plays a major role not only for our overall health but also for our skin, yet we underestimate it and our skin ends up looking like it’s been dragged through the mud. For those with uneven sleep patterns, create a habit of secluding yourself during the day to take a power nap even if it’s 5 -15 minutes, ideally half an hour would be nice. We know sleep is good for us but how? 1. Our skin CELLS repair itself and regenerate faster during sleep. Yes, that’s how good our skin cells are. All we have do to is go to sleep. 2. Sleeping deep can produce more collagen and I don’t have to tell you how great that is for skin elasticity and firming of our fine lines and wrinkles do I? 3. Stress Hormones are reduced by sleep, which in turn reduces acne, psoriasis, and eczema. 4. During our sleep cycle, our skin increases cell turnover hence will be more receptive to skincare products to maximise their benefits. It's a simple, yet often overlooked, element of a holistic approach to skincare and wellness but if you have the worst sleeping habits, then please do go to the doctor for resolution.
