Is sleeping good for your skin?

Every girl wants to have smooth and rosy skin, so many people use various expensive skin care products to maintain their skin, but many people do not pay attention and think that as long as they insist on using various whitening and moisturizing skin care products every day, they can maintain good skin. In fact, this is not the case. There are many things in life that are closely related to skin care, such as sleeping. The quality of sleep also has a lot of impact on the skin. So is sleep good for the skin?

The color of the skin depends on the content and location of melanin in the epidermal cells and the degree of contraction and dilation of the skin's blood vessels. These factors are all controlled by the regulation of the neurohumoral and endocrine systems, and sleep plays a dominant role in them. During sleep, the circulation of skin capillaries increases, and its secretion and clearance processes are strengthened, which accelerates skin regeneration.

Smooth, rosy and elastic skin depends on adequate nutrient supply from the microvessels in the subdermal tissue of the skin. When the skin's capillaries are unobstructed, the skin appears rosy and lustrous; otherwise, the skin becomes dull or pale, lacking nutrition, causing the subcutaneous cells to age rapidly, wrinkles to appear, and even become rough.

Lack of sleep can cause congestion of skin capillaries and obstructed circulation, making it impossible for skin cells to get adequate nutrition, thus affecting skin metabolism, accelerating skin aging, and making the skin appear dull and pale.

When people get enough sleep, it can improve the circulation of skin extremities, eliminate congestion of skin capillaries, fully supply the nutrients needed by skin tissue cells, and correct and prevent premature skin aging.

Through the above understanding, many people should know that having a good sleeping habit is beneficial to skin care. However, it does not mean that the longer the sleep time, the better for the skin. Sometimes, if you sleep too long, facial swelling and eye bags are prone to occur. Therefore, everyone should develop the habit of sleeping for 8 hours a day.
