Prematurely Aging? 3 Ways Sleep Helps the Skin You're In!

Skin looking dull? Periodic breakouts? Fine lines around your eyes? Hectic lifestyles, lack of sleep and hormonal changes can cause skin to show signs of premature aging. Skin is your body’s largest organ and it requires sleep. A good night’s rest can help with the following: 

  1. Reduce signs of immune-related skin problems (think psoriasis and eczema). 
  2. Re-balance moisture (think bags under eyes). 
  3. Encourage growth hormones (think maintaining skin structure and repairing damaged cells). 

So get those Zzzzz's!

Even though it is so hard to get enough ZZZZs sometimes.
