Nanoapk.com - Ignoring the quality of sleep is a big problem for the health of your skin. It doesn't matter, whether it's because of partying late at night, stuffing exams or working midnight to feed a newborn baby, so getting the 8 hours of sleep that is needed at night sometimes seems impossible. You are not alone. According to the United States Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 33% of adults do not get the amount of beauty sleep needed every night. It is even considered a public health problem.
But what you may not realize is that not getting enough sleep can actually damage your physical health. Not only that, it can also wreak havoc on your skin. That is why it is very important to practice self care and carve me time in your day, whether it is spending more time on your skin care routine or doing yoga or meditation.
Well here is to find out the bad effects of lack of sleep for your beauty, because of the health of your skin.
1. The skin becomes unbalanced, causing dry and reddish skin.
Sleep deprivation can really cause problems with your skin. Not getting enough sleep every night, decreases the moisture level of your skin and lowers the pH level of your skin, which in turn causes the skin to look dull and aging. A decrease in pH also creates an imbalance in your skin, causing it to look drier and uneven, and even creating red spots and pimples.2. Causes dark circles under the eyes
One of the clearest signs of sleep deprivation is pesky dark circles under the eyes. That's because lack of sleep causes your blood vessels to dilate, which then leads to dark circles under the eyes. Getting enough sleep, helps your body function as it should and will reduce the pesky blue and purple shadows under your eyes.
3. Causes eye bags
Unfortunately, along with those pesky dark circles, not getting enough sleep can also cause unsightly marsupial eyes. While lack of sleep is one of the causes of lower eye bags, it is not the only one. Eye bags can also occur when there is an excessive amount of fluid in the body, causing the eyes to sag or swell. This can happen when you sleep or lie on your stomach.
4. Hair becomes thinner
This is triggered by an increase in cortisol levels (or stress hormones) which then causes hair loss to occur throughout the scalp. Lack of sleep can cause your hair to thin out because of something called telogen effluvium. This is basically triggered by an increase in cortisol levels (or stress hormones) which then causes hair loss to occur throughout the scalp.
5. Face breakout or broken
Lack of sleep will only worsen the situation. If you already tend to get acne, then lack of sleep will only worsen the problem. This is because lack of sleep is usually the result of stress and a common trigger for acne.
6. The face becomes wrinkled and sagging skin
Sleep deprivation and collagen reduction often go hand in hand. Lack of sleep and reduced collagen go hand in hand, so you may see more wrinkles and sagging skin. Reduction of collagen causes poor skin elasticity which can ultimately cause your skin to look more wrinkled and saggy, and gives you a decreased or frowning expression.
7. The skin will start to look older
The small lines that you see on your face after a restless or bad night sleep, are what you begin to see as you get older. Research shows that women who sleep 8 hours or more every night have fewer wrinkles, dark circles, and brown spots than women who sleep less than 6 hours a night, up to double that amount!
You can use the most expensive beauty products out there but nothing can beat the benefits of skin from deep sleep. Sleep is very important for the growth and nutrition of your body and skin, regenerating your cells and getting rid of toxins while you sleep. So practice self-care and make sure you get at least 8 hours of restful sleep at night.
