3 Ways Your Overnight Routine Affects Your Skin's Health

Sleep is your body’s time to reset and recharge, and your skin is no exception to this. At night, your skin is essentially in repair mode and your skin cells turn over and produce new cells at a quicker rate than during the day. This means that there are a variety of sleep factors that play into how your skin looks overall, as well as even more tips and tricks that can be used to maximize your skin’s overnight regeneration. 

 1. Getting Enough Sleep

 The most basic sleep factor that plays into your skin’s health is how much of it you get. According to the Clinical and Experimental Dermatology journal, people who got between seven and nine hours of sleep per night had more moisturized skin than those who received 5 or fewer hours of sleep. Additionally, the skin of the same subjects who received seven to nine hours of sleep was better equipped to protect and heal itself better following exposure to UV light than those who received less. This is the result of two specific bodily events that occur during sleep: 

• Collagen production – promotes skin elasticity  
• Increased skin blood flow – properly delivers nutrients needed for skin’s recovery 
   

When you reduce the amount of sleep you are getting, you are reducing the time your skin has to recover from the day before. Regardless of how many protective measures you take with your skin during the day, you still need to follow it up with a sleep routine that allows it to rejuvenate itself. 

 

2. How Much Help Your Skin Has

 Just as you have a set morning/daytime skin regime, you should also have one for your sleep skincare. While you are getting adequate sleep your skin is working overtime to repair and regenerate new, healthy skin cells. During this time your skin could use assistance from supplemental vitamins, antioxidants, and moisture. Some of the core overnight skincare products that the professionals recommend include: 

• Serums 
• Retinols 
• Lip masks 

• Intensive moisturizers 
• Face masks 
• Facial oils 
• Eye creams 
• Anti-aging creams  

Although your skin is naturally working to restore itself overnight, adding supplemental products that work best for your skin can boost the regeneration process and result in even healthier skin as opposed to letting your skin rejuvenate on its own. Some of the best vitamins and ingredients that you should look for when selecting your overnight serums include vitamins A, B, and C, which many skincare brands include in their overnight skincare lines. Additionally, tailoring your skincare products to consider the time of year is another step you can take to make sure that your skin is receiving the best boost possible.  

3. Consistency is Key

It is called a sleep routine for a reason and establishing a sleep schedule and overnight skincare regime that you can consistently maintain is the key to seeing results. When you create a controlled environment for your skin where there is little variation and it has time to properly adjust to the combination of products used, you are going to see results that last. However, skipping your sleep regime even just once or twice a week is going to result in instant and clear negative effects for your skin health such as: 

• Swollen eyes 
• Dark circles 
• Pronounced wrinkles 
• Skin discoloration 
   

When you break your consistent sleep routine, your skin does not have time to properly balance and regulate its regeneration and can quickly become overwhelmed trying to undo the damage from exposure throughout the day. Likewise, being inconsistent with your skincare does not allow your skin to properly adjust to the products you use and will prevent you from seeing the maximum benefits possible. 

 

While there are many factors that play into your overall skin health, practicing an overnight skin routine that combines extended periods of nightly sleep with the use of overnight skincare products that work best for your skin type is one of the best ways that you can ensure that your skin remains healthy, radiant, and relaxed.
