#1 Sleep for at Least 8 Hours a Night
Beauty sleep is essential for repairing your skin. When your body is sleep deprived, your body will elevate the levels of cortisol in your body which will hurt your skin’s quality. Poor sleep can also increase the severity of inflammatory conditions such as acne and eczema. It can break down the collagen, hyaluronic acid, and the molecules that give the skin its glow, bounce, and translucency.
#2 Sleep on a Satin or Silk Pillowcase
Have you ever slept on a cotton pillowcase only to look in the mirror and see a series of lines all across your face? Some pillowcases cause friction on your skin, which can lead to irritation, wrinkles, and fine lines. Using silk or satin pillowcases, causes less friction between your skin and the pillowcase, preventing the risk of your skin creasing or wrinkling.
#3 Change your Bed Linen Regularly
There are several health threats that can easily lurk in your bed if you don’t keep your bed linen clean. Unclean bed sheets can harbor dust mites and cause allergies to your skin and health. While you are sleeping, your body will shed dead skin cells, secrete oils, and. Aim to wash your bed linen at least once a week to minimize any threats of having a germ-filled bed.
#4 Use a Humidifier While You Sleep
If you want to have healthy, glowing skin, then hydrating your body with water can do wonders for your skin’s complexion. Drinking up to two liters a day can help keep your skin looking supple. However, it isn’t possible to drink water while you are sleeping. Thus, investing in a humidifier can help to hydrate the skin while you sleep.
#5 Go to Bed with a Clean Face
If you are a woman who goes to bed without removing her makeup or if you are a man who goes to bed without washing his face, then you will be risking your skin’s health. Skin problems include acne and irritation. You also risk developing wrinkles earlier than it should be. Washing your face before going to bed should be a must-do routine just like brushing your teeth.
#6 Keep your Skin Moisturised
There are many people who still do not moisturize their skin in general or worse, before going to bed. When you go to bed, you should moisturize your skin with an anti-aging night cream that contains hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid will attract water into the skin and help smooth wrinkles. Additionally, adding lip balm to your lips before you go to sleep will help your skin to repair itself.
#7 Change your Sleeping Pattern so you Sleep on your Back
You want to avoid creasing or wrinkling your skin prematurely. If you sleep on your chest, then you have a much greater risk of creasing and wrinkling your skin permanently. If you sleep on your side, you may find that one side of your face will appear more wrinkled than the other one. Alternatively, if you sleep on your back, your face will be unaffected.

Its very true that getting a great night of sleep is super important to enhance beauty . I am so guilty of looking at my phone and laptop before I go to bed! I’m trying to reduce my times on my electronics before bed, since I know it can reduce the effectiveness of sleep.
Great tips. Though it’s nearly impossible for me to fall asleep on my back. Haven’t thought about using a humidifier during the night, might be good idea to try it out, the air is quite dry here.
I am having a problem for falling asleep for past few months. I have consulted doctor also. I will try to follow these tips. Thanks
These tips are really helpful. I have never heard of using a silk or satin pillow. Hopefully that helps in my sleep cycle. 8 hours sleep is a must or at least minimum 7.
