10. What Happens To Your Skin While You Sleep

Skin Theory with Emme Diane

We all know that getting a good night’s rest is essential to waking up energized and refreshed in the morning, But if you get quality sleep, will your skin look clearer and more radiant? As I am sure you know, there are so many health benefits from getting enough sleep…and maybe you have even said that catchy phrase about getting your beauty sleep. But what if I told you that the term “beauty sleep” wasn’t just a cliché and was actually backed by science?

So, in a 2017 study, researchers found that perceived attractiveness, health, and even trustworthiness were rated lower among people who had restricted sleep for 2 days. In other words, a few nights of poor sleep made the sleep deprived appear less attractive and unhealthy to others.

So, what exactly makes sleep such an important part of your skincare routine? Today's episode will be all about why sleep is so important for your skin, including what happens to your skin while you are sleeping and all my best tips on how to get a restful night of beauty sleep!
