Why is getting enough sleep so important?
While we sleep, numerous regenerative processes take place that support our well-being. During the onset and deep sleep phases, blood pressure and heart rate decrease. The brain processes the impressions of the day and regenerates. Especially during the first half of the night, the metabolism works at full speed.
The body uses the night to regulate metabolic processes, replenish resources and regenerate the skin.
Restful sleep as the basis for beautiful skin?
During sleep, a special growth hormone is released that supports the skin's nighttime regeneration. This process can be particularly intense during the deep sleep phase. There is evidence that sufficient and restful sleep contributes to the skin appearing refreshed and smooth in the morning. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to good sleep quality to optimally support natural regeneration.
5 tips for optimal beauty sleep
Sleep is therefore the best time for the skin to regenerate and recharge. With a few simple measures, you can enhance this natural effect even further. From the right room climate to the right bedding to optimal skincare – here are five valuable tips that will take your beauty sleep to the next level.
1. Indoor climate
Ensure a pleasant sleeping environment by ventilating your bedroom well before bedtime. A fresh supply of oxygen can not only improve sleep quality but also help your skin recover optimally. Adequate humidity is especially important in winter – placing wet towels over the heater or using a humidifier can help create a balanced indoor climate.
2. Silk pillows
You sleep as you make your bed – and your skin can benefit from it, too. Silk pillows are particularly gentle, as they cause less friction than conventional bedding. This reduces the risk of wrinkles on your face and décolleté, and your skin feels pleasantly smooth in the morning.
3. Change bed linen regularly
At night, the skin loses moisture and secretes debris. Therefore, it's a good idea to change your bedding regularly to keep your skin clear and fresh. Your pillowcase, in particular, should be changed at least twice a week to ensure a clean sleeping environment.
4. Thorough cleaning
Before going to sleep, you should cleanse your skin of dirt, sweat, sebum, and makeup. A gentle yet thorough cleansing removes buildup and optimally prepares the skin for nighttime care. This allows it to recover overnight and remain balanced.
Our SKINUANCE® ENZYME CLEANSER & PEELING is a 2-in-1 enzyme-based cleansing powder. It not only cleanses the skin but also provides a gentle exfoliation. The combination of enzyme cleanser and enzyme peel deep cleanses pores of dirt, makeup, sebum, and dead skin cells. This ideally prepares your skin for your beauty sleep routine.
5. Skin care – support at night
With the right care, you can specifically support your skin's regeneration processes. High-quality night care products work particularly intensively while you sleep. They can help moisturize and soothe your skin, giving it a fresh, radiant appearance in the morning. Anti-aging products, in particular, should be applied at night so their active ingredients can develop their full effect overnight.
The intensive anti-aging night cream REGENERATING FACE CREAM from SKINUANCE® contains pure retinol. The formula helps the skin maintain elasticity and suppleness.
Those who prefer firming care will find the LIFTING & FIRMING FACE CREAM provides optimal support for a radiant and well-cared-for complexion. It also provides the skin with intensive moisture.
With these simple yet effective tips, you can make the most of your beauty sleep and wake up with fresh, radiant skin. Let our SKINUANCE® products help you achieve this.
