Are you getting your beauty sleep?
Everything you need to know about sound sleep and stunning skin!
It’s fair to say that for many of us, our bathroom cupboards are filled to the brim with lotions and potions to ensure that we have healthy glowing skin – but did you know that sleep is when some of the most important internal — and epidermal — recovery takes place!
We’ve all fallen victim to a poor nights sleep and woken up with dark circles and puffy eyes, paler skin with fine lines appearing!
So what can we do to ensure we rise and shine with glowing skin?
Get a full nights sleep
Although this might sound easier said than done; getting a full 8- 9 hours sleep is the best place to start for your skin. The results of a poor night sleep include:
Skin ages faster
Skin that doesn’t recover as well from environmental stressors
Tips for getting a good night sleep include; Exercise, avoiding caffeine and nicotine, avoiding large meals and beverages after 8pm.
Keeping the skin clean before bed
This may sound obvious, but going to bed without removing your make up or washing your face will have a knock on effect.
Cleansing your skin before bed is essential to remove the days dirt, grime, pollution and makeup that rests in your pores. Cleaning your skin is going to help avoid creating acne outbreaks, dry skin, inflammation and large pores.

Use a night cream and have a glass of water before bed
Washing your skin can dry it out and sleeping can also dehydrate the skin so having a glass of water by the bed to keep you hydrated through the night can help along with using a topical moisturiser.
We recommend using the Environ Alpha Hydroxy Night Cream. Its mild exfoliating formula helps to refine the texture of your skin and energise the appearance of tired, dull skin to help restore radiance.
