Age Saver: Get Your Beauty Sleep

beauty-sleep

Ever wonder why sleep is so important for restoring the beauty to your skin? Here’s why:

“When you don’t get enough sleep, you will not only feel tired but you will look tired. While you are sleeping, your pituitary gland releases growth hormone and other growth fators that stimulate the production of new collagen, which is necessary for cell repair and renewel. And that’s not all. If you don’t get enough sleep, you get dark circles under your eyes because the skin around your eyes loses its elasticity and moisture content when you are tired. This affects the way light is reflected off this area, producting the illusion of dark shadows.”*

So while you can lather on your Belli Skincare Eye Brightening Cream and concealer all day long, nothing is going to help your skin look bright like a good night’s sleep! Plan to go to bed early tonight and catch up on a few zzzzz’s. The laundry can wait!
