  • Get Yourself A Good Night Sleep For Better Skin & Health

    Getting enough sleep is essential for your health. Without a good night’s rest, you won’t have the ability to function throughout your day. You’ll just feel too tired. Not well focused. And probably not in your best mood. Well, besides these effects from lack of sleep – let’s bring you the bright side of good quality sleep. Did you know good quality sleep contributes to healthier skin?

    If not, here is why. 

    Get Seven to Nine Hours of Rest: 

    Try to at least get recommended seven to nine hours of sleep per night. You do your skin a favor, especially your health. There are times indeed when life makes it a challenge for whatever reasons but it’s important to set a routine you can stick to prevent mental and physical effects on your health. Being sleep deprived is not fun and common effects on physical appearance include dark circles, under-eye bags, swollen eyes, and puffiness to name a few. In addition, physical health includes the risk of obesity, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Therefore, mental health can worsen if you are not getting sufficient sleep and these include anxiety, depression, confusion, behavior changes, and stress. 

    Boost Brighter Appearance:

    Though a good skincare routine plays a vital role in maintaining a youthful complexion, not getting the sufficient hours of sleep (7-9 hours) reduces the results of healthier skin. Sleep is the best time for skin to repair, especially the body to heal itself. During sleep, blood flow is increased allowing skin to rejuvenate from day’s exposure to ultraviolet radiation, which damages DNA skin cells and the risk of skin cancer, for instance. What’s more? Good quality sleep boosts collagen production, reduces breakouts, improves clearer skin, moisturizes skin, and more.

    Do your best to get to bed early! Sleep well!

  • Rockabye Baby, Go to Sleep

     Sleep is that wonderful thing that keeps you wanting more in the morning when you inevitably have to crawl out of bed before you’re late for wherever you have to be. That feeling when you wake up in the middle of the night and check the time to find that it’s still only 2:03AM is one of the best. Warm and drowsy, you shut your eyes and feel at ease, knowing you don’t have to face the world for a few more hours. Sleep is important. 

         Good quality sleep provides numerous benefits. It improves brain performance, mood and health. 

        Not getting good quality sleep consistently increases your risk of many diseases, like heart disease, stroke, obesity and dementia. Good quality sleep consists of three major components: the hours of sleep, sleep quality and a consistent sleep schedule.

         Sleep aids in your brain being ready to face a new day. Your brain works while you sleep, preparing itself to learn, remember and create.The brain also removes toxins as you sleep, functioning almost like a kidney, and some things removed include proteins linked with Alzheimer’s disease. Sleep is vital for a healthy body. Your immune system is better able to repair you when you are sleeping. Sleep helps get you back into tip top shape when you’re sick and keeps you in tip top shape when you’re not.

         Sleep most definitely does not look the same for everyone. Get yours however you can. Make a schedule and stick to it. Exercise, but don’t exercise close to bedtime. Get natural sunlight for at least thirty minutes a day. Cut out the caffeine. Don’t nap after mid-afternoon.. Avoid eating large meals before bed. Step away from your electronics before bed. Create an environment that best aids your sleep. That’s a long list of things that may help you get consistent quality sleep. Of course, sleep isn’t easy to come by for everyone. If you find nothing helps you sleep, talk to your healthcare provider. Sleep the best as you can in the way that you find best.

  • Healthy Eating and Beauty

    The most common description of a deep, restful sleep is “beauty sleep,” this means that a well-rested person will feel much better, and their skin will be more radiant and youthful than the day before. Unlike making you feel better, it makes you look better.

    The body releases hormones that aid in cell reproduction and repair once you go to bed, for example, growth hormone. It is essential to ensure that one maintains healthy skin and looks young (Santos, 2020). In addition, a person who has enough sleep has lower levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, and appears calm and glowing.

    Aside from hormones, sleep is also involved with the body’s hydration mechanism. Insufficient sleep may dislocate the fluid equilibrium, resulting in swollen eye bags, skin dryness, and clearer fissures. A good night’s worth of sleep is imperative in maintaining this equilibrium and improving your beauty naturally.

    Moreover, sleep also influences how hair looks since Inadequate sleep can cause a lot of psychological pressure, leading to dry locks and thinning hair. Maintaining a good sleep regime goes a long way in maintaining healthy and shiny hair since beautiful hair is significant.

    The benefits of sleep also include its influence on one’s psychological health. The National Institute of Health (2018) posits that a relaxed mind reduces anxiety, which makes one have a happy face (National Institute of Health, 2018). Further, this enhances beauty, and our moods and spirits are expressed through our bodies. Our insides being naturally beautiful after enough rest could make us more good-looking and self-confident.

    Lastly, sleep is an integral part of any beauty regimen. It promotes skin and hair wellness, reduces stress, and offers optimum fluid intake. Thus, it becomes a routine for you to invest in your beauty.
