A good night’s rest has never been more important than the weeks (and days!) Leading up to your wedding day. Not only is eight hours of sleep crucial to your well-being, but your skin can reap some skincare benefits overnight as well.
Need another excuse to get used to hitting the pillow at a reasonable time? You can maximize your skincare regimen with a series of treatments and tricks to achieve beautiful skin while your body rests.
How Does the Skin Act at Night?
The skin is twice as receptive at night, where cellular processes reach their maximum level of production and reconstruction of collagen and elastin. It is the moment when the skin becomes receptive to the absorption of nutrients and vitamins. How could we not take advantage of this?
Sleeping Cream is the new nighttime anti-wrinkle phenomenon that fights fatigue and allows the skin to take full advantage of the ingredients it needs while we sleep. Every morning when you wake up, you will notice a restored, nourished and revitalized skin, where wrinkles and fine lines are reduced night after night. And without you having to do absolutely nothing but rest!
But to get the most out of night creams, we must not only sleep but also rest. Here are some simple tips to get a good night’s sleep that reflects on your skin!
