<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever wondered if there\u2019s something to the term beauty sleep<\/em>? While achieving eight hours of shut-eye may seem like a dream, science shows that restful sleep is key to a healthy, beautiful complexion. And it\u2019s just one factor in how your lifestyle and environment affect your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a look at the process your skin goes through while you\u2019re asleep, and what you can do to support it along the way.<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the skin exposome?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Think about the hundreds of little choices you make each day: what you eat, how much you sleep, or how often you\u2019re outdoors. All of these things add up to affect your skin.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This concept, known as the exposome<\/a>, includes everything from your daily habits to external stressors such as pollution<\/a> and sun exposure<\/a>. Together, these factors play a powerful role in how your skin ages and responds to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"What<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One exposome factor that\u2019s in your direct control? Sleep. Getting enough quality rest can help keep skin at its best\u2014while the opposite can lead to a dull, tired-looking appearance<\/a>. This makes a holistic skincare approach (one that considers both your lifestyle and environment) the path to healthy skin in the long run.<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does sleep affect your skin?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s one more reason to hit the hay early: sleep is a core step in any skincare routine. That\u2019s because as you unwind after a busy day, your skin also slips into regeneration mode. At night, the skin conducts a\u00a0natural repairing activity to reverse damage suffered during the day. And when you skimp on sleep, this process is disrupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you skimp on sleep, this process is disrupted. The result? A weakened skin barrier, increased sensitivity, and a dull, tired complexion. Science has shown<\/a> that lack of sleep can even accelerate the signs of aging<\/strong> and diminish skin barrier function. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact,\u00a0one study<\/a>\u00a0showed that participants who slept less than five hours a night noted increased signs of aging and lower satisfaction with how their skin looked. But your skin\u2019s appearance isn\u2019t what matters most.\u00a0Getting enough rest also supports skin health.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens to your skin at night?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your skin goes through plenty of changes during the day<\/a>, and the same rings true after the sun goes down. Here are a few things to keep in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"woman<\/figure>
\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s especially receptive to products<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your skin naturally becomes more permeable at night, making it especially responsive to skincare products<\/strong>. It\u2019s the perfect opportunity to apply revitalizing ingredients like retinal<\/a>, antioxidants, or peptides<\/a>, to name a few.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Circadian rhythm plays a role<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You may be aware of your body\u2019s circadian rhythm<\/a>\u2014the internal system that regulates your sleep-wake cycle. At night, this system signals to the organs that it\u2019s time to power down, sending your body into a state of rest and repair.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But did you know your skin houses the same biorhythm? Your skin uses its own \u201cclock\u201d to kick off vital processes such as turnover<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Skin<\/figure>
\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It loses more moisture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At night, your skin experiences increased transepidermal water loss<\/a> (TEWL), since its natural barrier becomes more permeable. This makes it easier for water to escape, leaving your skin prone to dehydration.<\/strong> Reduced oil production at night also plays a part in this moisture loss.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repair mode turns on<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While you sleep, your skin\u2019s natural repair mechanisms are at their most active. This is when it works to reverse any harm suffered during the day from UV exposure<\/a>, pollution, and other factors. Research<\/a> also shows that nighttime is when skin cells work their hardest to repair<\/a> DNA damage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The takeaway? Getting enough sleep keeps skin resilient, while skimping can leave it more vulnerable to daily stressors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to get that well-rested look<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your evening skincare ritual<\/a> gives your skin (and mind) a moment to relax and switch gears. While the ideal routine depends on your individual needs, here\u2019s a bit of inspiration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Reach for melatonin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"serum<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to helping you sleep<\/a>, melatonin plays many other roles in the body\u2014one of which is in your skin\u2019s best interest. Acting as an indirect antioxidant,<\/strong> melatonin<\/a> triggers enzymes that help repair the effects of oxidative stress from UV rays, pollution, or other exposome factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is this so important? The free radicals<\/a> from oxidative stress can lead to signs of skin damage and early aging. Turn to topical products including melatonin,<\/strong> such as a nighttime eye cream<\/a> or melatonin-rich serum<\/a>, to give your skin an extra boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Stay hydrated<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, your skin loses even more water at night. To combat overnight dehydration, first reach for your water glass\u2014then for nourishing creams<\/a> containing humectants such as hyaluronic acid<\/a>, glycerin, or panthenol. These ingredients help retain moisture and keep your skin plump and smooth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Get your hours in<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Not<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, give your skin the time it needs for sleep\u2019s natural benefits\u2014namely rejuvenation and repair\u2014to work their magic. For adults,<\/a>\u00a0seven to nine hours of sleep\u00a0is ideal. So, power down your devices, push your alarm clock back half an hour, and settle in for the night, all in the name of healthy, beautiful skin.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
