Ultimate Beauty Secret

A good night’s sleep means so much more than you actually think when it comes to beauty, and skin health. Yes, you need your sleep, because it will get you ready for the day ahead of you. Whether you are self-employed or work 9-5, you need to feel reenergized. Ultimate Beauty Secret A good night’s rest can mean good skin health since when you’re not sleeping enough or at all, your body produces more of the stress hormone cortisol. Heightened levels of cortisol can mean increased stress and inflammation in the body, which is a negative occurrence for your body.

But the link between skin health and lack of quality sleep can be a negative cycle, specifically with conditions like acne and eczema, which can mean scratching even through the middle of the night. Poor sleep can lead to increased stress hormones in the body that amplify the harshness of inflammatory skin conditions such as acne. This can mean more itching, which can interfere with sleep.

Not enough sleep makes immune-related skin problems worse. Excessive inflammation in the body interferes and disrupts the body’s capability to control the immune system, which means not only getting sick more frequently, but it also means immune-associated skin diseases such as psoriasis and eczema.

Essentially, you will look more tired and it draws away from your beauty, unfortunately.
