By now, most people know that sleep is essential for feeling and looking healthy. However, many people don’t realize that insufficient sleep is associated with a number of chronic diseases and conditions.1 A lack of sleep causes free radical production which wreaks havoc on the body.2 Additionally, a lack of sleep can result in trouble concentrating, irritability and “beauty fatigue” – a tired appearance.
“My patients are always looking for tips on how to maintain radiant looking skin, and I tell them, when it comes to your skincare, lifestyle, and dietary choices – all of which impact your skin’s health through the gut-brain-skin axis – consistency is key. Consistently getting a good night’s sleep (‘beauty sleep’ is real), supplementing your healthy diet with antioxidants, and limiting exposure to free radical producers like blue light are all essential to healthy, vibrant looking skin,” advises NYC dermatologist, Whitney Bowe, MD.“When it comes to healing and nourishing your skin from the inside-out, I often recommend Heliocare Daily Antioxidant Formula to my patients because this supplement helps serve as a protector; it helps to protect the skin from the damaging effects of free radicals from the inside out,* and it’s a simple, maintainable step to add to your daily routine.”
Heliocare Daily Antioxidant Formula contains an antioxidant called Polypodium leucotomos (PLE), which aids in eliminating free radicals and their harsh effects on your body.* Reducing free radicals can help with “beauty fatigue” as well, as it helps to maintain younger-looking, more resilient skin.* Only the PLE extract in Heliocare, which has been studied for over 25 years, has been extensively tested by leading American and international dermatologists.
Unfortunately, if you prioritize logging the recommended seven to nine hours of shuteye, you’re not necessarily in the clear because you may not be getting “quality sleep,” which has its own set of issues. 3 To set yourself up for quality, uninterrupted sleep, establish a nightly routine to help shift your mind into a relaxed state. Here are a few ideas:
- Try lighting a chamomile scented candle to help signal the transition from “high power, work mode” to “low power, relaxed mode.” Of course be sure to blow out the candle well in advance of falling asleep!
- Enjoy a cup of Chamomile or Lemon Balm tea, known for inducing calm.
- Spray your pillow with a lavender mist, credited with helping to support relaxation and improved sleep.
- And to help transform your bedroom into a sleep haven, try a sound machine, blackout shades and dropping the thermostat to 65 degrees.4
Sweet dreams!
