There's a serious stigma about sleep. In today's increasingly interconnected, always-on world we view it as a period of idleness or lost productivity, and we try to get-by on as little sleep as possible.
Most of us don't realise that the hours we spend asleep are actually among our most productive. When it comes to your skin care routine, sleep is a crucial component for the skin's recovery from the assaults of the day.
Work with your natural circadian rhythm... During the day, skin cells are in defense mode— working to protect themselves from UV exposure and free radical damage. When the sun goes down our skin switches into regeneration mode—repairing daytime damage and boosting the production of substances that protect and renew.
Transform the way you sleep:
Sleep is crucial to overall skin health but sometimes, falling asleep is the hardest part. Use the
