If you want to improve the health and appearance of your skin, there is one change you can make that will have a tremendous effect - getting enough sleep each night.

During sleep, the release of growth hormones helps repair damage done to your cells and tissues, ensuring that your skin is restored and healthy. Cytokines released while you sleep serve to boost the immune system, so they can fight off infections that could affect both your skin and your overall health.

When you don't sleep enough, your risk for numerous physical and mental health concerns increases, additionally, chronic
lack of sleep can impact the way your skin looks and feels. Lack of sleep may cause acne. People who report having poorer sleep quality are more likely to have worse acne. Fatigue upon waking up is also strongly associated with acne. When you skip sleep, you may look tired. Your eyes may appear puffy and be surrounded by dark circles. These symptoms are caused by fluid retention and muscle coloring in your lower eyelids. Getting less sleep can lead to prematurely aged skin and other complications, including greater susceptibility to skin conditions such as acne.

To get a good night's sleep, set your bedtime 15 minutes earlier for a few nights. Then you can move your bedtime up another 15 minutes. Also, keep your room calm, dark, and quiet by avoiding electronics before bedtime. Some tips;

1 Don't use the same washcloth twice
2 Sleep on a clean pillowcase
3 Don't reach for that late-night snack
4 Do switch up your diet
5 Don't bring your cell phone to bed
6 Do sleep in a cool room
7 Wash your face twice a day
8 Invest in a nighttime retinoid
9 Exfoliate at least once a week

Sufficient sleep is the best meditation & medicine for your acne-clear journey. Start tracking your sleep and see the positive change in your skin.
