We all want beautiful skin! In our busy and stressful lives, often we neglect one of the most important thing, that is Sleep! In our fast paced life we forget that sleep is equally important for beautiful, healthy skin. Adequate sleep is a key part of a healthy lifestyle, and can benefit your heart, weight, mind, and more.

1. Benefit to the skin: Sleep allows the skin to restore its natural balance and increases the effectiveness of certain skin care ingredients, potentially providing more benefit to your skin.

2. Improve memory: Your mind is surprisingly busy while you snooze. During sleep you can strengthen memories or “practice” skills learned while you were awake.

3. Be a winner: If you’re an athlete, there may be one simple way to improve your performance: sleep.

4. Lower stress: When it comes to our health stress and sleep are nearly one and the same—and both can affect cardiovascular health.

5. Not enough sleep contributes to weight gain: Sleep makes you feel less hungry. Recent studies have linked sleep deprivation to excess snacking and calorie consumption.

6. Not enough sleep accelerates the aging process: During deep sleep, the rise in growth hormones allows damaged cells to become repaired. Without the deeper phases of sleep, this won’t occur, allowing daily small breakdowns to accumulate instead of being reversed overnight. This results in more noticeable signs of aging.

7. Sleep at least 7 hours a night: Cortisol, the stress hormone, ages the skin and can cause acne. Sleep reduces the cortisol level in your body. So it’s a simple equation: Sleep = younger, clearer skin.
