There’s nothing better than climbing into your cosy bed with its fresh linen after a busy day of work and play! Getting that well-deserved rest is great for the body, mind, and soul. Plus, you’re getting your much-needed beauty sleep! The healing powers of sleep are remarkable, but there are a few ways you can actually enhance the power of your beauty sleep so you’re getting more skincare benefits while you rest. Here are our top tips to ensure you wake up looking spring-fresh every morning!
1. Exfoliator
When you sleep your skin repairs itself, but you can give your skin some extra help by cleaning your skin thoroughly before going to bed. You should use a gentle exfoliator to remove built-up dirt, makeup, and extra oil before bed. By clearing away these pore-clogging irritants, you’re preventing them from damaging your skin. Instead, you’re improving blood flow, supporting collagen regeneration, and encouraging muscle relaxation.
Our Recommendation: DEWY’s Face Exfoliator Brushes are ideal for sensitive skin, providing a thorough yet gentle clean. This helps prevent acne, blackheads and whiteheads, rosacea, and razor burns by cleaning the pores, removing dead, dry skin, and promoting product absorption.
2. Moisturiser
Once the skin has been exfoliated, now is the best time to apply a night-time moisturiser in a circular motion for ideal product absorption. This will boost your collagen production (needed for youthful-looking skin), improve blood circulation, restore essential nutrients, and keep your skin hydrated.
Our Recommendation: Look for products that are organic and support the skin’s regenerative processes. Chemicals that disrupt your skin’s natural oils will ultimately leave the skin dry and damaged.
3. Water or Tea
Sleep studies show that staying hydrated improves your sleep and that your body loses water while you sleep. This can happen as a result of lowered oestrogen levels, an overly hot or dry room, snoring, or medication. Drinking water before bedtime improves hydration while also improving your mood and making you feel sleepier.
Our Recommendation: Avoid drinks with alcohol and caffeine before bedtime as these can negatively impact your sleep routine. If you’re battling to sleep, consider drinking chamomile before bed.
4. Sleep Mask
Getting enough sleep is one thing, getting quality sleep is another. Disrupted sleep does not translate into beauty sleep, which is why you should consider using a sleep mask for improved rest. Sleep masks block out the light, alleviate anxiety, and can relieve headaches. However, remember to choose a silk sleep mask as this is better for keeping your skin smooth, hydrated, and wrinkle-free.
Our Recommendation: DEWY’s Silk Beauty Sleep Eye Mask is ideal for enhancing your beauty sleep. This is a 100% mulberry silk mask of the finest quality will not only provide you with a great night’s sleep, it will prevent wrinkles, moisturise your skin, and protect against microbes that cause skin infections.
5. Silk Pillowcase
Sleeping on your back with your head elevated is a great way to enhance your beauty sleep as it minimises wrinkles on the face while preventing snoring and nasal drip – which can impact your quality of sleep. Beyond this, it’s best to choose a skin-friendly pillow, such as a silk material, as this minimises skin irritation and compression, preventing wrinkles. Silk also absorbs less moisture than other bedding materials, which makes it less likely to absorb your skincare and haircare products.
Our Recommendation: DEWY’s Silk Pillowcase will provide you with a full night’s restful sleep that leaves you feeling revitalised, refreshed, and beautiful every morning.
