A lack of sleep increases your cortisol levels (the stress hormone), putting your skin in a pro-inflammatory state. This can mean sullen looking skin and puffiness around the eyes.” "By ensuring you get eight hours of sleep per night, you'll limit your cortisol levels and prevent these symptoms from appearing."
the truth of the matter is that many of us aren't getting the recommended eight hours of sleep every night.
Considering sleep has been proven to lower stress levels, reduce inflammation, and help us maintain a healthy mind and body, you'd think we'd all be tucked up and ready to REM by 9pm.

Here's what doing dry January will actually do for your skin (and it will totally shock you)
But if the thought of your own wellbeing doesn't tempt you to turn off your television or mobile phone a little earlier, perhaps learning about how sleep can give you better glow, will.
In honour of World Sleep Day, Doctor Sam Khani of explains what happens to the skin during a solid eight-hour sleep sesh...
Your skin cells regenerate
After a long day of fighting off UV rays, pollution, sweat and grime, your skin is desperate for some downtime.
"While we’re sleeping, our skin switches into recovery mode and it’s an important time of repair and regeneration", says Mandy "In fact, the regeneration process at night can be up to three times faster than during the day."
Your skin is more receptive to products
There's a reason most anti-ageing products are recommended to be applied at night (aside from avoiding sun exposure).
“The nightly renewal process is when you will get the most benefits from your anti-ageing ingredients, and using the right products is imperative for ensuring the renewal process is aided", says Sam.
"Before bedtime, you should be applying the 'heavy-duty' ingredients such as retinols and glycolic acid, as these ingredients will absorb into the skin and do all the skin repairing while you sleep .There is different types of Retinlos
TRETINION GEL
Topical treatment for acne with cellular anti-aging benefit.
For those experiencing acne breakouts:
This is the topical solution for you. It’s patented prescription strength treatment is available in three different concentrations.
The right formula will depend on your skin type, and how persistent your acne is on your face. A cream version is better for dry skin while a gel texture is more for oily to normal skin. It will attack those pesky spots to unclog pores, and diminish blemishes. Past acne scars are also reduces with its high level of exfoliation. Used daily it can make your acne a problem of the past.
For those with visible signs of aging:
There are numerous articles in dermatology journals and aesthetic medicine journals touting the benefits of tretinoin. Tretinoin is arguably the best topical medication for reducing the signs of visible aging. Many medical professionals feel that every person over the age of 30 should use tretinoin to prevent visible aging of the skin. We tend to agree with that bold statement.
Tretinoin takes some getting used to initially. It is best to start on a lower dose and increase as your skin becomes adjusted to the medicine. It is common for the skin to be red, flaky, irritated and dry initially. This is temporary as tretinoin goes to work exfoliating the damaged, old, dull cells and stimulates growth of new, more plump, healthy cells. As skin tolerance increases, stronger dosage can be used for even more benefit. The first 2-3 months are usually the only phase that involves a lot of peeling and turnover. It is worth sticking with, though, because the benefits are those that other creams and topical cannot deliver.
We can help with this adjustment phase! We know ways to make the adjustment less bothersome and can recommend methods such as: initial use every other night and building up to nightly use, using a smaller pea size to start and building up to a full pea size, and hydration to ease the skin.

Your body will produce more collagen
Collagen is key for keeping the skin plump and smooth. And while some creams claim to boost its production, you can't bottle what sleep does for you.
“Once you fall asleep, your body starts producing growth hormones. These growth hormones ensure that your skin is producing enough collagen, which helps your skin to remain tight and bouncy and also allows your skin to repair acne and scarring across your body."
"Not only does collagen benefit your skin, but it also helps to improve and strengthen the hair and nails."
Your skin is able to de-stress
Sleep isn't just a stress-reliever for your mind and body, but your skin too.
“A lack of sleep increases your cortisol levels (the stress hormone), putting your skin in a pro-inflammatory state. This can mean sullen looking skin and puffiness around the eyes.”
"By ensuring you get eight hours of sleep per night, you'll limit your cortisol levels and prevent these symptoms from appearing."

"In the comfort of your bedroom there is no UV damage, no smoking, no smog or temperature changes, and you aren’t wearing makeup or sweating", says Sam. "In this clean environment, your skin is able to breathe and have some downtime against daily environmental factors."
So put down the phone (and fags) and give your skin a good eight-hour break.
