Blurred complexion, tight skin, purplish dark circles... What if your dull complexion could be explained by lack of rest? A look back at the many benefits of sleep on skin quality.
Your skin looks like a double agent… And yes, your epidermis does not perform the same functions during the day as at night . While during the day, your skin strives to act as a shield against external aggressions (temperatures that are too low or, on the contrary, too high, pollution, wind, etc.), at night, it only has one watchword. : regeneration . Indeed, during sleep, the skin recovers, regenerates and renews itself : the multiplication of epidermis cells generally reaches its peak of activity around 1 a.m.

An essential regeneration which, when it is not carried out correctly, leaves traces on our face the next morning! If the night was too short, our skin does not have enough time to regenerate and repair the damage caused by external aggressions suffered during the day. Results: gray complexion, dark circles, dry skin... Our skin, which is very reactive, reacts immediately to lack of sleep . The effects of lack of sleep on our skin are also seen in the long term . Over time, nights that are too short alter the “shield” capacity of our skin which, when tired, is no longer as protective against external aggressions . Bad sleepers are therefore more prone to sunburn and also take longer to recover. The skin of a poor sleeper will also have more difficulty fighting free radicals present in our environment, thus accelerating skin aging. |
