A night of little sleep is unlikely to leave you feeling terrible in the long run. However, consecutive nights of poor sleep can not only impact your health and how you physically feel but can also negatively impact the appearance of your face.

Hydration, PH level, color, and even acne can all be impacted by our sleep schedule. This is because our body needs rest to restore itself – and the skin is no different. Think about a time you did not get enough sleep – you probably felt off, and your skin may have looked dull. Sleep keeps our faces looking bright and fresh but also keeps us healthy.

The skin has a 24-hour circadian rhythm, just like many other systems in our bodies. So, getting more than six hours a night is crucial to maintaining the appearance of healthy skin. Younger people may also be more prone to acne with a lack of sleep.

Sleep deprivation causes stress within the body, raising cortisol levels significantly, and along with it? Inflammation and more sebum production, which clogs pores and eventually lead to breakouts.

Lack of sleep also takes a hit on our immune system. To prevent acne, your skin needs the immune system to help it fight off germs. However, bacteria can build up faster, infecting the pores without that. An alert immune system can help prevent that.

One way to get better sleep? Try changing your mattress. The Hastens Maranga mattresses are the finest horsetail hair mattress and support your body as you rest for the ultimate sleep. Find out more about the mattress, available at Brickell Mattress, here.
