Deep sleep and skin health: 10 reasons to fix your sleep schedule 

Prioritise your sleep schedule

Going to bed and waking up at the same time daily keeps skin-repairing hormones like melatonin in balance

Support overnight skin repair

During deep sleep, your skin rebuilds  collagen and repairs damage from UV exposure, stress and pollution

Reduce under-eye puffiness

Lack of sleep leads to fluid retention  and poor circulation, which can make eyes look puffy and dark

Protect the skin barrier

Sleep deprivation weakens your skin’s natural barrier, making it more prone to dryness, sensitivity and irritation

Tame acne flare-ups

Inadequate sleep spikes cortisol levels,  which trigger inflammation and hormonal imbalances that often lead to acne

Prevent premature ageing

Collagen breaks down faster when  you’re sleep-deprived, making fine lines  and wrinkles show up sooner

Hydrate from the inside

Poor sleep can disrupt your body’s water balance, leading to dull, dehydrated, tired-looking skin in the morning

Balance oil production

Better sleep helps regulate sebum  production, reducing the risk of clogged  pores and shiny skin issues

Let skincare products work better

Your night-time products absorb  and perform better when your skin is  in recovery mode during sleep
