You can spend hundreds on serums, but if you’re sleeping five hours a night, your skin will never look its best.
The Science of Beauty Sleep
During deep sleep, your body releases growth hormone, which stimulates cell repair and collagen production. Blood flow to the skin increases, delivering oxygen and nutrients. Cortisol (the stress hormone that breaks down collagen) drops. This is when your skin actually heals.
Sleep Hygiene for Skin
Silk pillowcase (less friction, fewer sleep creases). Humidifier in the bedroom (prevents overnight moisture loss). Apply your richest products before bed — nighttime is when they’re most effective. And put your phone away 30 minutes before sleep. Blue light disrupts melatonin, which disrupts skin repair.
