Who doesn’t love to get a good night’s sleep? Let’s talk about the amazing benefits of this free skin treatment. That’s right, sleep is great for your skin. Here’s why…

Getting enough beauty sleep isn’t a myth. During sleep, your body repairs, regenerates and rejuvenates your skin. That’s why it’s important to get enough sleep so your body can work its magic on your skin.

Sleep reduces the hormone cortisol. High cortisol levels can lead to interrupted sleep and anxiety as well as high blood pressure. The number of hours you need to sleep is usually between 7 and 8.

Getting enough sleep means you avoid:

Puffy Eyes

High cortisol levels also affect the balance of salt in your body. Lack of sleep can raise your salt levels which will create water retention which gives you puffed-up eyes. Getting plenty of sleep means you’ll wake up bright-eyed in the mornings.

Unhealthy Skin

New skin cells grow while we are sleeping. Some of the damage caused by pollution and the sun is healed during a good night’s sleep. So when we wake up our skin looks better.

Stress

Lack of sleep causes stress and stress will give you dark circles under your eyes and sallow skin. You’ll also be more prone to spot or acne breakouts. While you’re asleep your skin creates the moisture it needs to give you that lovely healthy glow.

Another way to take care of your skin is to make sure you have a good beauty routine, especially at night. Make sure before you go to bed that you’ve removed all your make-up and that you use good quality night time skin products.  

An anti-ageing cream, a vitamin A or retinol serum, or hyaluronic acid will work well at night to repair and rejuvenate your skin.

Vitamin A and retinol encourage collagen production which gives your skin volume and results in fewer wrinkles.  Hyaluronic acid attracts moisture so your skin stays hydrated. SkinBase stock 3D lifting cream which is a fantastic product that contains hyaluronic acid and helps keep moisture in. You can get it now from our online shop.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
