Sleep and Beautiful Skin: How Rest Affects Your Glow

Updated on:  16 October, 2022

Do you know why almost all skin specialists recommend you get a sound sleep? It is because the skin has a natural process to treat the damage that your skin might have undergone throughout the day. This is why it is popularly known as beauty sleep. The healing process of the skin begins as soon as you go to the bed to get your sleep.

So next time you go out with your friends for a night out, be sure you don’t skip your beauty sleep. Remember when you sleep, you give your skin a chance to heal all damage and flaws. For best results, you may take a warm shower with bubbles, scrub, and essential oils because they drop the body temperature and you sleep better.

Skin and Beauty Sleep

Here are a few things you should know about your skin and beauty sleep

• Good sleep adds to your natural beauty
• Proper Rest:

If you wish to have clear and healthy skin, make sure your body, as well as your skin, must get proper rest. If your body doesn’t get proper rest, it will result in stress which further causes acne & pimples.

• No Breakouts:

Just like your body, your skin needs rest that keeps the skin clear, clean, and healthy. Lack of sleep causes stress that leads to pimples and acne.

This could be the reason why the majority of students experience acne breakouts during exams or before an important meeting.

• Wrinkle-free Skin:

Good sleep also helps in fighting signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles. The right amount of sleep prevents fine lines and wrinkles from appearing on your skin.

However, you need to make sure that your sleeping position is correct. The wrong sleeping position may result in permanent fine lines.

• De-stress Eyes:

Beauty sleep is also essential to de-stress your eyes. It makes your eyes look sparkling and beautiful.

When you take your beauty nap, the eyes rest and that prevents under-eye circles and puffy eyes. People who have under-eye circles should use a good under-eye night cream before going to sleep.

Does sleep make your skin better? Many patients ask us this question. While almost everyone knows that around seven to eight hours of sleep is essential for healthy skin, the time of sleep also matters. The best time to sleep for healthy skin is between 9 PM to 11 PM. If you wake up early, hit the bed by around 9-9.30 PM. If you work until late, ensure you fall asleep by 11 PM. Frequent delays can affect skin health. Hence, you must sleep in time and get adequate sleep to reap the benefits of sleep for the skin.

Many times, you do whatever is necessary to keep your skin glowing and beautiful. You take every possible care. But still, you face skin problems.
