No expensive remedy will help if you don’t follow a proper sleep routine. And we're not even talking about getting enough sleep. It is important to take into account some less obvious nuances that EAOMedia will tell you about.
Why is it important to monitor your sleep quality?
During sleep, the skin is restored: collagen is produced, microtraumas heal, and toxins are eliminated. But if you sleep incorrectly, even after 9 hours of sleep you can wake up swollen and tired.
Wrong pillow and pillowcase
A pillow that is too high creates creases on the neck and face. You wake up with swelling, wrinkles, and over time these folds become permanent.
Solution: Sleep on your back on a low pillow that is the right size for you. If you can’t sleep on your back, at least use the right orthopedic pillow for sleeping on your side, as well as a silk or satin pillowcase: they are less damaging to the skin than cotton.
Sleeping with clogged pores
Yes, you are tired, but still “once counts.” After all, every time like this means clogged pores, lack of oxygen, dull complexion, accelerated aging.
Solution: Always cleanse your face before going to bed, no exceptions. Even if you came at 3 am, you will find 2 minutes to wash your face.
Inadequate nutrition and hydration
An hour before bed, apply a little natural oil to your face: jojoba, almond, argan, and only then your night cream. Then do a light massage for about 5 minutes: stroking from the center to the periphery. A simple ritual will relax the muscles, improve microcirculation and the cream will work more effectively. Also, be sure to maintain humidity at night.
Result: after 2-3 weeks, the skin will become more elastic, the complexion will improve, and wrinkles will become less noticeable.
Precautions: If you have insomnia, sleep apnea or other sleep disorders, consult your doctor. Quality sleep is impossible without treatment for these conditions.
