8 Tips for Better Sleep

March 15, 2012 3:46 am

There’s truth to the term “beauty sleep.” Most of us know that sleep is crucial to our mental and physical health, but it doesn’t stop there. Lack of sleep has a powerful affect on our skin. Sleep is vital in order to regenerate and recharge every organ in the body including the skin. Luckily, you can do something about it Here are 360 Skin‘s tips for better sleep and better skin!

  1. Go to bed early and give yourself a consistent bedtime. “If you don’t allow yourself the time to get proper rest, you will tend to feel more fatigued and more on edge during the day.”
  2. Always eat balanced, wholesome healthy foods. “Learn to make amazing meals and when you eat out, pick foods that are good for you and taste good. This will help the renewal process of your skin from the inside out.”
  3. Keep alcohol consumption at a minimum. “If you have a glass of wine or two it’s not a big deal, but as with everything, moderation is key.”
  4. Exercise daily, even just a little bit. “You need to use your body during the day. If you are getting lots of oxygen each day, you will pass right out and sleep really well.”
  5. Have a nice soothing warm drink before bed. Choose caffeine free drinks like African Rooibos red tea, chamomile or even warm milk with a little honey.
  6. Express your gratitude every night. “As part of expressing gratitude for being part of this world, send out a little prayer to your god or to the universe. Be thankful for all the blessings you have.”
  7. Never take pills to go to sleep. If you think you need pills, ask yourself what you might need to change in your life to feel more rested and rejuvenated each and every day. Choose natural treatments and improve your routine instead.
  8. Remember your nightly skin care routine. Make skin care a necessary part of your bedtime routine. Like brushing your teeth, your skin care regimen is an absolute must. Don’t have a routine yet? We can help you put one together here at 360 Skin.com
