The importance of beauty sleep

Skin makes new collagen when you sleep, which prevents sagging. That’s part of the repair process. More collagen means skin is plumper and less likely to wrinkle.

Only getting 5 hours a night can lead to twice as many fine lines as sleeping 7 would. It also leaves skin drier, which can make lines more visible, Wexler says.

Your body boosts blood flow to the skin while you snooze, which means you wake to a healthy glow. Skimp on sleep and your complexion can look drab, ashen, or lifeless.

Sleep deprivation causes a decrease in blood flow to the skin surrounding your face. Skin becomes dull, and you don’t get those rosy cheeks anymore.

Chances are, you’ve had dark circles or bags under your eyes after a night of too few Zzzs.

Puffy eyes are one of the first things we see when we don’t sleep. Get enough shut-eye and you’ll have less puffiness under your eyes

Stay well-hydrated and elevate your head with an extra pillow at night, too. That can also help reduce swelling.

A little cheat’s trick is to use Thalgo Brightening Regulating Essence – Essence Lumiere Regulatrice which is for all those wishing to brighten their complexion, who already have visible pigmentation marks and want to prevent their appearance.
