Do you Really Need Beauty Sleep

July 1, 2009

beauty-sleepWe often hear people refer to ‘beauty sleep’ but are not always sure exactly what the term refers to.  While often referred to in jest, beauty sleep is very real, and it is a necessity no individual should do without.

Many people mistakenly believe that a nap during the day is beauty sleep, when in fact the term beauty sleep refers to a regular nighttime sleep routine.

By going to bed at the same time each night and waking at the same time each morning, you develop a sleep pattern that will provide your body with necessary beauty sleep.

Don’t confuse beauty sleep with being beautiful; beauty sleep cannot do that. What it can do is prevent you from looking tired and rundown with dark circles under your eyes.

When you get your beauty sleep, you wake up looking fresh and full of energy. In addition to negatively affecting your facial appearance, poor sleep habits have a negative impact on your weight.

Your skin is also susceptible to the effects of too little sleep. It is during sleep that your body restores dead skin cells. To avoid the unsightly appearance caused by unstable sleep patterns you simply need to reset your sleep clock.

Sleep quality is also important, and if you find it difficult to fall asleep or remain asleep throughout the night, try listening to meditation music or white noise before bed or even while sleeping.

Aromatherapy baths work wonders for insomnia as does yoga and deep breathing techniques. A glass of red wine can help to relax not only your body but an overworked mind as well.

You can supplement your beauty sleep regimen by applying night cream and facial moisturizers. Lotion should be applied to keep your skin hydrated. Exercise when you wake up each morning to restore energy levels and eat a nutritious breakfast.

Try to avoid stress. While this beauty regimen will not drastically alter your outward appearance, it will restore a youthful glow to your skin, make you appear fresh and well rested and improve your overall health.
