Tips For Reducing Wrinkles With Good Night's Sleep

Sleep Comfortable
Beauty is definitely more than skin deep. Ultimately, the body needs sleep and while we are sleeping the body releases growth hormones to repair and build the body's cells. When you go up into your comfy bed every night, your senses finally relax and your body unwinds. Want to wake up gorgeous? To reduce wrinkles and achieve Beauty Sleep, the first step is getting a good night's sleep. This is very important because laying down shifts the effects of gravity and relaxes the facial muscles. Night time is when the dermal layers of the skin are regenerated and it's the most vital time to refresh your skin. Sleep induces the production of collagen, which is an important ingredient in younger looking skin.
Here are some basic tips to follow for a good night's sleep:

1- Buy mauve oil at your local health food store and pour a small amount into a warm bath and immerse before bedtime. Lavender induces sleep and you can also put a few drops on any candle and inhale the relaxing scent.
2- Avoid caffeine such as cola, coffee, tea and alcohol before going to bed. It takes up to seven hours for a cup of coffee to leave your body. Sip a cup of Chamomile or Lemongrass herbal tea to encourage sleep. These are also excellent for your skin.
3- Close your eyes, relax your mind and take deep breaths. Block out all of the stress and problems of the day.
4- Avoid curbs in the evening. According to dermatologists if you avoid foods such as rice, pasta and potatoes you will wake up with less engorgement in the morning.
5- Be comfy. Choose comfortable bedding, comforters and pillows. Highly recommended is the luxurious, medical doctor formulated Dream Skin Beauty Pillowcase that eliminates sleep lines and diminishes facial wrinkles by 51%--and also a strand saver, good for your hair.

It's a established fact that the weight of your head pushes your face into the pillow night after night and creates sleep lines. This also makes existing wrinkles worse in addition to creating new ones. The American Academy of Dermatology cautions that sleeping in certain positions, such as on your side, produces unappealing sleep lines. These sleep lines eventually turn into permanent wrinkles.

It is important to "keep the moisture "in" your skin at night. Moisture loss is the main cause of facial wrinkles. When we sleep, our face is uncovered to the air and because of this we lose a large amount of heat. Even more heat is lost through the evaporation of perspired water. Although the rest of the body perspires during sleep, it is to a lesser extent than the face. Unfortunately, this moisture gets absorbed into a typical pillowcase such as cotton or silk. Fascinatingly, we also perspire a lot at night even under cool conditions.It's a pretty terrifying vision that the water that escapes into your bedding is feasted on by flaming bedbugs and mites which survive on millions of your dead, sloughed off skin cells. Another reason it's imperative to keep the moisture in your skin and not lost in your bedding.

Beauty is definitely more than skin deep. Ultimately, the body needs sleep and while we are sleeping the body releases growth hormones to repair and build the body's cells. This helps the skin remain thick and less likely to wrinkle. When you don't get enough sleep the body produces excess cortisol, a hormone that breaks down the skin cells.
During the second phase of your night's sleep, the Delta stage, the hormone levels peak and cell repair takes place. Therefore, deep sleep may truly be Beauty Sleep.
The quote by 17th Century author George Herbert, "An hour of sleep before midnight is worth three hours after" makes a lot of sense. But I think Benjamin Franklin said it correctly, "Fatigue is the Best Pillow." Sweet Rejuvenating  Dreams.
