Beauty Note: Sweet Dreams

Sweet Dreams


There’s a reason that they call it "beauty sleep".....Getting 7 to 9 hours of sleep a night can actually improve your appearance. This is because while you are sleeping your body releases human growth hormones which helps your body create collagen, that gives your skin strength and elasticity.  (Fun Fact “kola” means glue in Greek and Collagen actually means “glue producer”). Also, while you are dreaming away, your skin cells are regenerating and all the muscles in your face that create wrinkles begin to relax.

While the recommended hours of sleep you should be getting each night is between 7 and 9, this just simply isn’t a reality for some of you busy ladies. So just think of this as a reason to catch up on weekends. According to FITNESS Magazine, when you have been asleep for 5 hours “Your skin’s temperature reaches its lowest point and your muscles relax, giving skin its deepest recovery.” So hit the snooze button and dream a little longer girlies...
