How sufficient sleep helps your skin & body

Here is why your beauty sleep is important for healthy skin

Compromising with sleep has never really benefited anyone. No matter at which stage you are in life, to make sure you achieve your goals and perform at your maximum potential, you have to keep your body well-rested.

There is a reason why it is called ‘beauty sleep’. Your body performs the function of repair and regeneration while you are asleep and hence it shows on your face how well-rested you are.

Here is how a proper sleep pattern will change your skin and body

Less dehydration and breakouts

Not sleeping enough affects the moisture level of your skin and also the pH. It may lead to more breakouts, redness, and puffiness around your face. People who sleep around 8 hours are less likely to face these problems.

Increased concentration and an alert mind

You are more likely to stay distracted through your day if you haven’t had a proper goodnight’s sleep. Sleeping enough will help you concentrate more at work and keep you alert. As a result of this, you will remain less stressed.

Reduced dark circles

No brainer, your dark circles will reduce if you develop a proper sleeping pattern. While you are asleep, your body regenerates cells. People who are in habit of staying up till late or pulling all-nighters have visible dark circles.

No risk of weight gain

If you are trying to lose weight by exercising and eating healthy, sleeping better will help you shed some extra kilos. Sleep is known to help with weight management and since you are not fatigued, it also keeps you motivated to exercise.

No dull skin

The cortisol levels increase in people who are not sleeping enough. This in return, triggers inflammation and your skin may not look radiant. Your skin looks fresher when you sleep enough.

Here are some of the benefits of good sleep for your skin and body. Apart from this, you should also follow a healthy diet and keep yourself active to see visible effects and always look fresh and awake.
