Getting your beauty sleep is often a common saying for a goodnight's rest, but who knew there was actually some truth to it.
Our body needs to rest to revitalize itself again for the next day.
The skin is often the most neglected which is scary since it's the biggest part of the body.
It's imperative to take better care of the skin and it first starts with having an adequate amount of sleep.
To achieve better and much healthier skin, here are some tips one can do before heading to bed.
The first step is to wash your face prior to sleeping.
Ensure that the face is free of makeup and is completely clean.
Leaving makeup on the face can lead to clogged pores, acne, and even cause an allergic reaction if left on too long.
To make sure all traces of makeup are removed, swipe the entire face with a facial toner.
Next is keeping the face moisturized.
After washing your face, apply a light moisturizer.
If you have other skin dilemmas like wrinkles or dark circles, now would be the perfect time to apply eye cream over the affected areas.
Your skin will absorb the creams so it can be fully hydrated and moisturized.
Make sure to pick a moisturizer suitable for your skin type.
There are so many products out there so it shouldn't be a difficult finding the right product.
Another good idea is to drink a glass of water before you go to bed.
This can help nourish the skin because skincare cannot do without water.
Another added benefit is keeping the skin moist all day long.
Just make sure not to drink too much water or you will end up having to go to the bathroom during the middle of the night.
The last tip is to sleep on satin pillowcases.
The sensation of satin can make you feel more comfortable for a better night's rest.
Using satin pillowcases can also protect the hair and skin while you sleep.
Satin helps prevent the hair from breakage and tangles.
As for the skin, it can help prevent facial creases and wrinkles that are usually caused when you lay your face on a cotton pillowcase for long periods of time.
Look for satin pillowcases that are hypoallergenic.
Waking up looking beautiful is now possible.
Follow some of these tips and your skin will certainly look far better and you'll look more refreshed.
