How to Get the Best Beauty Sleep of Your Life for Radiant Skin

Get the Best Beauty Sleep of Your Life 

You probably already know that sleep is essential to good health. But many of tend to forget that it’s also vital to staying vibrantly beautiful and looking our best. After all, when you’re well-rested, you’re happier and that happiness shines through to your complexion.

However, truth be told, getting the beauty sleep you need isn’t always easy. Stress, obligations and burning the candle at both ends can keep you from getting the ZZZ’s you need to truly glow.

Luckily, there are some simple tricks that you can use to balance your body, mind and mood in order to get the rejuvenating sleep you need to be your gorgeous best every day.

Here are the essential sleep tips to follow for the best beauty rest of your life…

#1 – Skip the devices

The blue light from screens, like your TV, smartphone, iPad or Kindle could be behind your lack of sleep. That’s because this wave of light actually blocks your body’s production of the sleep hormone, melatonin, which can throw your natural sleep rhythm into a tailspin.

The secret is to switch off those devices at least two hours before it’s time for sleep. Think of it as your blue light detox time.

#2 – Turn down the lights

Once you’ve banished the blue light from your bedtime hours, try taking your sleep health up a notch by dimming the other lights around you. Skip any large fluorescent light sources and instead go for gentle lamp or candlelight.

#3 – Stretch it out

Sore or painful muscles and joints can keep you tossing and turning at night. So before hitting the sheets, take the time to ease those little discomforts through stretching or light yoga.  This helps release the tension you build up throughout the day and restore calm to your body. You can even try self-massage using a foam roller to work the areas that bother you most.

#4 – Take a warm bath

Relaxing in a soothing bath is one of the easiest ways to help your body slip into sweet dreams each night. For an added bonus, slip some Epsom Salt into your bath water. This salt provides magnesium to your body that helps to soothe sore muscles and calm your mind.

#5 – Write it down

Just before sliding into bed, one of the best things you can do to prevent the day’s anxieties from keeping you awake is to journal all of your fears, worries and to-dos. By writing them down, your mind doesn’t have to continue going over them, so that you can fall asleep faster.

#6 – Take deep breaths

Finally, once your head hits the pillow, do some deep breathing exercises to remind your body that it’s time to relax and let the day go. Lie on your back and breathe deeply, watching your chest rise and then push the air out through pursed lips. Repeat 10 times.

Beauty from within

Remember, beauty comes from the inside out as well as the outside in. So give your body what it needs to look its best every single day. Choose the products that work to keep your skin healthy and happy and get the sleep you need for a radiant complexion.
