Why We Need Our Beauty Sleep.

When it comes to your beauty sleep it's the closet thing to the elixir of youth and priceless in many ways. Your body repairs itself and recovers while you sleep and leads to a long list of benefits to your skin and looks. The key is quality 7-9 hours each night. If you are getting less the chances are it will be effecting your looks. 

 

Lets take a look at the benefits.

Fewer Wrinkles. During sleep the skin repairs itself and produces collagen which keeps the skin firm and supple preventing lines and wrinkles.

A Glowing Complexion . The body boosts blood supply while you sleep which means you wake with a healthy radiant complexion. Lack of sleep causes dull and lifeless appearance.

Brighter less Baggy and Puffy Eye.  Lack of sleep is one of the main reason why we see this problem around the eye area. Plenty of sleep and rest will surely help and cure it.                        

When blood isn't flowing well which happens during lack of sleep, it can collect under eye area where the skin is very thin, this causes the dark circles and puffiness. Delicate skin around the eye requires separate eye care products that have been specifically formulated. If you use normal face cream which is too heavy this will also cause the eyes to look heavy and more puffy-to be avoided.   

Feeling energized - makes for a happy smiling looking person. 

Products work much better Your skin is free to relax rather than protecting itself from the sun and free radicals. The skin loses more water during the night so use a creamer moisturizer before bed time and drink plenty of water during the day to help your skin stay hydrated throughout the night.

 

When considering your lifestyle - good quality sleep is paramount to good health and good looks. 

The name Beauty Sleep comes with a valid reason. 

Insiders Beauty Secret - Facial Oils

As a beauty therapist I can tell you the biggest beauty secret is good facial oil. 

Depending on your skin type you will need a specific blend, not only will this improve the texture of your skin but will give you an instant youthful and dewy glow.   

The right facial oil has many benefits from treating dry/mature to acne/oily as the correct aromatherapy blends will re-balance and deeply moisturize your skin. The blend of botanical ingredients offer free-radical protection and can be massaged into the skin before applying sunscreen or foundation. If you apply oil before your anti-ageing cream the oil molecules behave like tiny Trojan horses, tricking the skin into letting active ingredients deeper in to the skins layer.

During the ageing process the skin’s natural oils decrease, the moisture barrier breaks down and the skin dries out.  Most creams contain a little oil, but not enough to make a big difference. Because oils are lipophilic, or fat loving they pass through the lipid layer of the skin faster, preventing water loss and plumping the skin with moisture more effectively.

A good facial oil comes at a high price tag due to the quality and sourcing of ingredients but don’t let this put you off, you can use it sparingly and the aromatic smells are a sheer delight and mood lifting. 

I personally recommend Aromaworks due to the pure quality, luxurious feel and uplifting aromatic smells. The purity of the skincare can be safely used on most problematic skins like psoriasis, eczema, acne and rosacea and is safe to use to during pregnancy and breast feeding. 

Aromaworks is used in many leading spas and is truly a high-end beauty product suitable for home use.
