Getting The Best Beauty Sleep
- Written by Clair Carter
Achieving optimal beauty sleep goes beyond just getting enough hours; it involves creating an environment and routine that supports skin and hair health overnight.
One key aspect of beauty sleep is the type of pillowcase you use. Silk pillowcases are highly recommended as they are gentle on both hair and skin. Unlike cotton, silk does not pull or tangle hair, which can prevent split ends and maintain blowouts for longer. For skin, silk pillowcases can help prevent wrinkles and fine lines, and maintain skin elasticity. They are also antibacterial, preventing acne breakouts and blemishes, and are hypoallergenic, reducing allergies and preventing dust mites. Additionally, silk is a breathable fabric that does not absorb beauty products, which helps improve skin, hair, eyebrow, and eyelash hydration. Coverluxesilk offers 100% silk zippered pillowcases, with a thicker thread weight than other options on the market, retailing at $74.95. Ecosa also offers silk pillowcases, which are eco-friendly, made from a natural, renewable, and biodegradable resource, and are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, meaning they are free from harmful chemicals.
Beyond pillowcases, integrating certain products into your nightly routine can enhance beauty sleep benefits. Rochway Beauty Sleep is a probiotic liquid that combines natural sleep aids with innovative probiotics and marine collagen for gut health, overall wellbeing, and improved sleep. Its key ingredients include marine collagen for skin regeneration and hydration, sour cherry (rich in melatonin) to promote healthy sleep and orient the circadian rhythm, and calming herbs like Valerian and Hops for relaxation. This product is available at rochway.com.au for $49.99.
For a radiant complexion, Nu Skin's Pillow Glow Sleeping Mask is a moisture-recharging gel-cream mask that provides intense, long-lasting overnight hydration. It supports the skin’s natural moisture barrier, helping you wake up with glowing, radiant skin that is 150% more hydrated. This mask is available for $50.00.
By focusing on these elements, you can transform your nightly rest into a comprehensive beauty treatment, ensuring you wake up feeling refreshed and looking your best.
