So what can we do for a healthier skin while sleeping:
Take care to sleep 7-9 hours
As soon as you fall asleep, your growth hormone will start to increase. That's why the first 3 hours you will spend in sleep are very important for your beauty. Take care to coincide these 3 hours between 22:00 and 03:00 at night, which is the ideal time for beauty sleep, when UV rays, stress and noise are the least. The average daily sleeping time of an adult varies between 7 and 9 hours. It is very important to take a nap at these time intervals to start the day with a vigorous and radiant skin.
Do not consume alcohol before falling asleep
Since alcohol will increase water loss in our body, we should stop alcohol intake 1.5 hours before going to sleep. Otherwise, we will continue to lose water throughout the night, and our body will become dehydrated. No matter how much sleep you get, when you wake up in the morning, you may be faced with pale skin that has lost its moisture.
Choose your pillowcase carefully
Although the pillowcase may seem insignificant to you, it is an important factor in preventing wrinkles on our face. Hard, rough and porous pillowcases can increase friction on your skin, causing damage and increasing wrinkles. Choosing fabrics such as satin or silk will minimize damage to your skin.
Optimizing your sleeping environment
Sleeping in a very hot or very cold environment will cause moisture loss in your skin and create problems. Studies indicate that the ideal room temperature should be between 16 and 20 degrees for the best quality sleep environment. In addition, since the cells need oxygen to regenerate, you can provide the oxygen necessary for the renewal of the cells in your skin during sleep by ventilating your room.
Don't forget your skincare routine before bed
Your skin is fighting external factors such as air pollution, stress and smoking throughout the day. It is very important to clean your skin and use antioxidant products before going to bed in order to minimize the damage to your skin caused by free radicals caused by these factors. Sleeping with dirty skin will clog your pores, accelerate acne and wrinkle symptoms, and cause it to look unhealthy over time. During the night, it renews itself in our sebaceous glands, so the skin can become dry. In order to prevent this, we must moisturize our skin before going to bed in our night routine.
