Now, good sleep is more effective than any supplements or skin care products. So how can we maintain a good sleep and allow women to have a peaceful and sound beauty sleep? The editor below will give you some tips.

Sleeping - the secret of women's detoxification and anti-aging

The most beautiful woman is the one who is “non-toxic”. Because the body has a regular detoxification process, lack of sleep will disrupt the entire detoxification process.

From the body detoxification timetable:

21:00-23:00 is the time for the immune system to detoxify;

23:00 to 1:00 am is the time for liver detoxification, which needs to be done during deep sleep;

1:00-3:00 in the morning is the time for large intestine detoxification;

7:00-9:00 in the morning is the time when the small intestine absorbs a large amount of nutrients. Arrange your sleep according to different detoxification steps to beautify yourself while you sleep. Master the skills of quality sleep and easily get a rosy complexion.

Tip 1: Don’t stay up late at night

The time for "beauty sleep" is generally from 10 pm to 2 am the next morning. If you get a better sleep during this time, you can speed up the skin's metabolism and delay skin aging. If you miss it, you will miss the good opportunity for skin metabolism.

From midnight to two in the morning, the metabolism of human epidermal cells is most active, skin cells regenerate, and the skin adjusts itself. If you stay up late at this time, it will affect the rate of cell regeneration and cause skin aging.

People who stay up late for a long time, regardless of gender, will directly damage their liver and, over time, their kidneys, gradually causing a deficiency of both qi and blood in the body. When they look in the mirror every day, they will feel that their face is gray. At this time, even if you take nutritional supplements and exercise every day, you cannot reverse the damage caused by lack of sleep.

Therefore, it’s okay to get up early or late, but it’s absolutely not okay to go to bed late. Some people think that if they go to bed late at night, they can make up for it during the day. In fact, it is impossible to make up for it. Either you can’t sleep or you don’t get enough sleep. Even if you feel that you have made up for it, your body’s qi and blood have actually been mostly damaged.

Tip 2: Take a good nap

"Ziwu nap" refers to the sleep period between Zishi (11pm to 1am) and Wushi (11am to 1pm).

At midnight, the yin energy is at its strongest and the yang energy is weakest. This is the time when sleep is best and of the highest quality. Yang energy is at its strongest and Yin energy is weakest at noon, so you should also sleep at noon.

If conditions are limited and you cannot sleep, you can sit quietly for a quarter of an hour, closing your eyes and relaxing. But generally speaking, half an hour of rest is just right, otherwise it may affect the afternoon work or the quality of sleep at night.

Tip 3: Get up early and feel energetic

The benefits of getting up early are that, on the one hand, it is beneficial to the body's metabolism and can excrete metabolic waste from the body. If you get up too late, the large intestine will not be fully active and will not be able to complete the excretion function well.

On the other hand, the body's digestion and absorption functions are most active between 7 and 9 in the morning, which is the "golden period" for nutrient absorption. Therefore, breakfast should be eaten during this time. Choosing a reasonable nutritional combination for breakfast is better than countless other supplements.

Tip 4: Take a nap once in a while

After waking up in the morning, the brain does not immediately enter a normal excited state, but transitions from an inhibited state to an excited state. If you suddenly wake up and force yourself to get up at this time, you will often feel dizzy, have a swollen head, and unstable blood pressure.

You can take a nap when you wake up in the morning to allow your brain's nerve activity to readjust and eventually wake you up completely.

So if time and conditions permit, even if you have gotten up in the morning and done some things but still feel sleepy, you can take a nap to ensure that you are full of energy for the day.

Tip 5: Don’t let your mind wander before going to bed

Some people often toss and turn in bed and find it difficult to fall asleep. The best way is to sit up for a while before going to sleep. In order to give the mind some time to calm down slowly. This is the reason why we say “let your mind fall asleep first, then your eyes fall asleep”.

If it still doesn't work, you can try simply stretching your legs before going to bed, then sit naturally cross-legged or lotus on the bed, place your hands on your legs, breathe naturally, and feel the pores all over your body open and close with your breathing. It will be best if you can shed tears and yawn. When you want to sleep, fall down and sleep.

Tip 6: Pay attention to diet and environment

In terms of diet, you should not overeat at night, otherwise your stomach will be bloated and you will toss and turn and unable to fall asleep. This will not only affect the function of the stomach, but also reduce the quality of sleep, which is not worth the loss.

In terms of the environment, be sure to close the windows before going to bed, and do not turn on fans or air conditioners, otherwise it will easily damage your qi and blood. If it's hot, open the door. Keep your limbs warm when you sleep. Keeping warm is conducive to good sleep quality, especially your hands and feet, navel and the life gate on your back.

In addition, sleeping on your back is the best way to sleep. It can prevent neck and back pain, reduce acid reflux, and can reduce the appearance of wrinkles or even minimize them. It is also the best sleeping position to maintain a perfect breast shape.

1. Take a comfortable hot bath before going to bed and deep clean your facial skin. The skin should be cleaned before going to bed, otherwise dirt will clog the pores, blood will not be able to fully reach the surface of the skin, and the skin will not get enough rest. Add soothing fragrances to the water or use aromatherapy treatments.

2. Do not sleep overnight with makeup on. Cosmetics will add burden and tension to the skin, and will also make the skin dry, which is not conducive to the skin's full rest.

3. Provide sufficient nutrition to the skin. The skin that has been washed and cared for before going to bed has a particularly strong absorption capacity. Therefore, before going to bed is a good time to supply nutrition to the skin. You can apply some nourishing cream such as night cream.

4. Gently massage your face before going to bed. Gradually massage from the center of the face to the surrounding areas to accelerate blood circulation in the face and promote metabolism.

5. Listening to music that helps you sleep can bring you a peaceful and comfortable mood. Relax your mind and sleep peacefully when you go to bed. Don't stay up late, because staying up late is most likely to cause skin fatigue and aging.

6. Maintain appropriate humidity in the room before going to bed. A moderate amount of moisture in the air can ensure that the skin is not too dry. You can use a humidifier to add water vapor to the air.

7. The sleeping posture must be correct to ensure high quality sleep.

For women, it is not too late to choose the best sleeping time based on the above introductions. It can also effectively develop reasonable sleeping habits and maintain the best sleeping state, which will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
