Ever wonder why you look luminous after a good night's rest? It's not your imagination. There's science behind sleep and its powerful connection to your skin's health. This research shows a correlation between less sleep and more wrinkles, frown lines, and crow's feet.

During this 10-day challenge, we’ll explore how sleep impacts everything about your skin — from hydration to elasticity — while giving practical ways to maximize your beauty sleep.
Get ready to learn what kind of pillowcase fights wrinkles, how to track your sleep quality for optimal shuteye, the bedtime skincare routine that will leave you glowing, and more.

Very interesting article about processed foods and sleep! Makes sense but I never thought about it!
@LindsayMcallister Agreed! It was definitely not something I considered before!
I love to sleep, and I am glad skin health is related to it. Ready!
I am realizing how important sleep is. We tend to forget the importance of sleep since nursing school and even worse if the nurse is working the night shift. This challenge definitely helped me to learn why quality sleep is crucial in life.
So fascinating how sleep is tied in with all these other correlated benefits.! Brain health, skin health, mental health and off course physical health
Enjoying this sleep session
I didn’t quite appreciate the relationship between sleep, hydration and skin. Now I do. Great information!
The maximum hours I have had to sleep is 6hrs. Somedays I will just be in bed, but my brains will constantly be thinking of so many things. Am looking forwarded to learning on ways to help with getting a good rest. On my off days I always promise myself a good rest but then having 3 kids under 5 can also be a challenge. Am hoping to get more tips.
This is a great self-care challenge. As a night shifter, it's hard to get quality sleep especially the days am working given am sleeping during the day and there are many distractions going on. Am eager to learn from this challenge and am looking forward to gather more tips to improve my well-being. Thank you!
Sleep is truly a challenge for 12 hr night shift nurse with day shift meetings. Skin care, specifically ‘mascne’ during mandatory masking seasons is especially difficult.
@1023kmcasey absolutely! Hopefully the challenge offers some tips for falling asleep fast and to help clear our skin better.
