Our skin is quietly remarkable - renewing itself roughly every 28 days for a healthy adult, layer by layer, in a cycle that mirrors the rhythm of our bodies. This natural turnover is what keeps our complexion bright, resilient, and alive, even when life feels chaotic.
But as we age, the speed at which the skin regenerates sloooowwws dooowwwnn. π
This is completely normal! Your metabolism slows down as you age. But there's a simple daily habit that promotes the rejuvenation of your skin.... SLEEP! π€
A restful sleep each night of up to 7-9 hours helps to switch your body into Growth & Repair Mode, which:
β
Boosts your collagen production
β
Reduce inflammation
β
Regulate moisture levels in your skin
β
Encourage cell repair
β
Increase blood flow (enhance nutrient delivery and removal of toxins)
β
Reduce stress response (slows down the aging process)
We all know that a good-night's sleep can make you feel vibrant and healthy, but we often forget to proritise it! Make sure to build healthy habits around your sleep, like avoiding screens at night, keeping your room cool (18-20 degrees Celsius), avoid stimulating activities, and keeping a strict sleep time routine (your body loves predictable patterns!).
Take a stance for your skin each night and start prioritising your sleep!
