Secrets to inner and outer beauty sleep

Let’s be honest. Most of us are ugly sleepers.

We can’t help it, when sleep hits we have no control over what our face or body is doing at that moment. Do you ever wake up and freeze? Trapped in limbo between dreaming and the new day? Shocked to find yourself in some weird position with your tongue hanging out?

Of course, you do. 

Sleep is the great leveler. Charlize Theron probably wakes up just as ugly as we all do…if there’s any justice in the world, she does!

Let’s face it, as far as looking good, sleep is a disagreeable business, however we can do something about our beauty goals during sleep and most of the ideas are pretty basic. 

First step, get a good night’s sleep. There’s nothing pretty about your morning-after face and body if you’ve spent the night wrestling with your worries and demons. So, let’s take a look at how to get the most out of our nighttime hours:

Get the right mattress

This will be an important part of your life for up to a decade, so make the correct choice. You’re looking for the perfect balance of comfort and support, which some manufacturers like Helix Sleep Mattresses offer with a range of features and options. You can even get dual sided degrees of firmness, providing couples with their optimal sleep.

Sleep on your back

Gravity is cruel. Particularly as we age and what was firm now becomes floppy. Sleeping on your back allows for the equal distribution of weight and impedes the formation of wrinkles. When your face is scrunched up in the pillow, your natural wrinkles are reinforced.

Stay hydrated

Moisture is key for skin care and healthy sleep. Your natural healing processes are busy at night and these require water. Cut down on the evening alcohol and have a glass of water by your bed. In the winter, when the air is dry, consider installing a humidifier in the bedroom to restore the moisture in the air.

Go to bed relaxed

Solve any disputes before retiring and have a shower or loll in a warm bath before bed. Don’t binge watch any gory thrillers or mysteries – read something that puts you to sleep with a clear mind.

Eat a light dinner

Rich or spicy meals will over-activate your digestive system and keep you awake. Have something that you can digest easily and quickly – otherwise your nightmares will be full of rampant, psycho lasagne and garlic bread.

Exercise gently

This could be slow lovemaking, moderate stretching or simple yoga. Any exercise that relaxes the muscles and ligaments naturally.

Sleep is the body’s restorative mechanism for inner and outer beauty, so do what you can to help this process along. You know what works for you, so get into a healthy bedtime routine that makes it easy to rest for the requisite 7 to 9 hours.
