How Sleep Helps Repair Skin

When we get enough night’s sleep, our skin produces new collagen, clearing wrinkles and preventing sagging. In other words, more collagen levels make the skin plumper, giving you a youthful look. Quality shuteye also increases blood to various body organs, including the skin. This means you are more likely to wake to a glowing complexion.

Why The Appearance of Your Skin Declines So Quickly Without It

When you are short on quality shuteye, blood flow to the skin reduces. This means your skin grows dull, widening the distance between you and rosy cheeks.

How to Get a Quality Night Sleep

I highly recommend creating and following a sleep routine. Since longer naps can also affect the quality of your night sleep, ensure your afternoon rest lasts for 20 or 25 minutes.

I am deeply convinced that each patient needs a unique, individual approach. Therefore, I use different psychotherapy methods in my work. During my studies, I discovered an in-depth interest in people as a whole and the belief in the inseparability of mind and body, and the importance of emotional health in physical health. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (a big fan of thrillers) and going on hikes.
