Tame the Temperature

Can’t fall asleep because you’re too hot? Tired of waking up throughout the night sweaty and uncomfortable?

Creating a cool sleep environment is key for both a good night's rest and healthy skin. Here's how to tame the temperature and create a sleep haven for your body and complexion:

• Take a pre-bedtime plunge: A warm bath about an hour before bed sounds counterintuitive, but as your body temperature cools down afterward, it can signal sleepiness. BONUS TIP: Opt for lukewarm water to cleanse and preserve your skin’s moisture barrier.

• Bedroom temperature TLC: Set your thermostat around 65°F each night. Invest in a cooling mattress pad or lighter bedding, if needed.

• Embrace the fan: A fan helps circulate air and provides a cooling breeze throughout the night.
