Sleep and Beauty

Beauty sleep is not an outdated habit of aging starlets. A good night’s rest is vital for beautiful, healthy skin.Sleep deprivation is not only bad for our bodies, but it’s terrible for our mental health and affects the way we look. Beauty sleep is not just a myth; it’s extremely important to our overall health and well-being, and is essential for younger looking skin.
Going to bed at the same time every day is a good way to solve sleep problems. This will automatically program the body to sleep at the particular after a few days. But it’s impossible to adhere to technique to the busy life style these days. Instead ‘going to bed’ routines could be set up and followed everyday before going to bed. For example like drinking tea or reading a book etc. When the ritual is carried on everyday, the body would be habituated to sleep after it.
Period of deep sleep, or R.E.M., is when people typically have a surge in growth hormones. These increased growth hormones help repair and rebuild tissue like your muscles. Your body’s cells also show increased production and less protein breakdown when you sleep. Proteins are important because they are needed for cell growth to help protect and repair damage from stress and UV rays. It’s not just about how much you sleep (a minimum of 8 hours per night are generally recommended), it’s also about the quality of your sleep. Better quality sleep = younger looking skin overall. Here are some tips for getting a good night’s rest.

Getting enough quality sleep is one of the best natural skin care techniques for looking your best. You can enhance this time by using skin care in the evenings that are rich in anti-oxidants. You will get increased benefits, as the anti-oxidants will stay active on your skin longer while you get your beauty rest. I love using Dreamweaver by Sircuit Skin before bed as an overnight moisturizer. The chamomile in it calms and relaxes my skin for a deep, heavenly sleep. Decleor’s Aroma Night Regenerating cream is also a dream to use. Infused with black orchid and primrose, you’ll awake to renewed and radiant skin.
