Beauty Sleep
Don’t we all look better well-rested? 😅 Yep, science now confirms what our ancestors knew: Beauty Sleep is a thing!
HOW SLEEP HELPS YOU GLOW!
· It lowers premature aging – While the stress hormone cortisol can speed up the skin’s aging process, getting enough sleep means your body is spending less time with elevated cortisol levels. This is because your cortisol goes down as you sleep and goes up with a lack of sleep.
· It protects collagen – While you sleep, there is a type of collagen that repairs itself. Collagen is needed to keep your skin youthful and your hair shiny.
· It allows skin cell renewal – Sleep is when your skin cell renewal and repair happen.
How much beauty sleep do you need? 💤👑
These days experts recommend 7 – 9 hours of sleep per night. Some folks need a little more than others and factors such as high-intensity exercise, illness, and stress can increase your need for shuteye. (Only 5 percent of adults need less than 7 hours and that’s thanks to a genetic mutation).
💡SLEEP SUPPORT TIP
Boost your sleep AND hydration by enjoying a nice cup of Rest and Rewind Tea before bed. It provides calming ingredients like lemon balm and 5-HTP. I love that it has a lightly sweet, minty taste and contains anti-aging antioxidants, too.
