sleep
Sleep is something we have to do everyday for us to survive.
But, the matter of if we are getting enough is important.
Sometimes, there are nights when we just can’t fall asleep or
when we are up late doing work. However, there is a huge
connection between sleep and our health.
If we are not getting enough sleep, our body becomes more
stressed out, releasing more cortisol. Again, cortisol increases
inflammation and negatively impacts our skin health. If our
quality of sleep is poor, the stress hormones continue to build
up, causing more acne and worsening existing skin conditions.
As more inflammation develops, the body can increase its
breakdown of collagen and hyaluronic acid. Collagen is
redeveloping new skin cells and gives skin its natural glow
and bouncy texture.
