Sleep is the key ingredient for healthy skin. When the body gets eight hours of sleep, it undergoes a regenerative and corrective process. Tissues and cells that have been damaged are repaired. The brain releases hormones that may speed up collagen growth. They protect your skin from the sunlight during daylight hours and keep your integumentary systems soft and moisturized.
You must get enough sleep to allow all this to occur. Even if you are asleep, you can still have beautiful skin.
1. Get rid of any facial gunk before you go to sleep
Makeup must be removed from your face. It is not a good idea to apply eyeliner or foundation before going to bed. They can block pores and encourage the growth of bacteria and germs. Always cleanse your skin before sleeping. Use a make-up remover first before cleansing your dermis.
After removing all cosmetics, apply a moisturizer with corrective ingredients. A moisturizer with CynergyTK or Phytessence Wakame might be beneficial. CynergyTK is a carefully extracted ingredient from the wool of sheep. This ingredient is one the best natural sources of keratin with a functional function. Keratin is responsible for both the production of collagen and elastin. Keratin is responsible to maintain elasticity and resistance against abrasion in integumentary system.
Phytessence Wakame, however, is a type that’s made from Japanese sea kelp. It prevents collagen fluidity from being lost by keeping the acid hyaluronic intact.
2. Use a humidifier
Evening temperatures can drop. Your dermis may be at risk for dryness. Collagen damage can occur when the skin is dry. To keep your skin moisturized and moist while you sleep, use a humidifier. The humidifier should be at least 1 foot from your mattress.
3. Pillowcases in silk or satin are available.
Switch to satin silk for your bedsheets and pillowcases. Silk sheets and satin sheets feel smoother and can be easily pressed onto your pillow.
It is also believed that silk pillowcase and bedding sheets are copper rich. Copper is an important component of our integumentary system in order to make copper Peptides. Collagen is made from peptides.
4. Drink a glass of water before you go to sleep.
This will increase blood circulation throughout your body. You will also avoid your lips and dermis drying out during deep sleep.
