Do you suffer from tired skin?

Do you suffer from tired skin? Lack of sleep, stress and a poor diet can contribute to a pallour and wanness associated with tired skin. Here, thanks to KisstheMoon are some contributing factors:

1. Dullness

What to look for: Lacklustre skin that lacks smoothness and is missing its healthy glow

Cause: Lack of sleep disrupts the cell regeneration process so skin can’t heal and renew itself fully. Old and damaged cells are rougher than newly formed healthy ones and can’t hold moisture as well so don’t appear as plump or fleshy.

2. Puffy Eyes

What to look for: Bags and dark circles under the eyes

Cause: Build up of toxins overnight as a result of a sluggish lymphatic system not able to do it’s clear up job effectively. While we are sleeping the lymph system kicks in, flushing out toxins and other waste materials that built up through the day. Interrupting this process creates a build up. We notice this first around our eyes as our skin here is much thinner than elsewhere.

3. Dehydrated Skin

What to look for: More visible wrinkles and a crepey feel

Cause: Dry skin is caused by loss of natural oil from the skin’s surface.  Dehydrated skin is a result of loss of water from the deeper layers.  Both are a result of a poor cell repair and are antagonised by external factors such as over exposure to aircon, heating and harsh weather conditions. The older we get the more prone our skin becomes.

4. Stressed Out Skin

What to look for: Outbreaks of spots or sensitive skin flare ups Cause: When we don’t get enough sleep, levels of the stress hormone, cortisol, increases. Too much suppresses collagen production and makes skin vulnerable to inflammation responses to external irritants.
