You can workout to lose weight, eat healthy to stay fit and go for every beauty therapy under the sun. But if you ignore your beauty sleep then you will never have bright sparkling eyes and a fresh radiant look. You'll look tired with puffy eyes and a certain morbid paleness. Rest is a very important aspect of your beauty. Until and unless you get ample rest your skin will never get the chance to repair the wear and tear.

Here is what exactly beauty sleep is and some reasons why you must never skip it.

Why You Must Not Skip Beauty Sleep?

1. You Age Faster: Do want to look ten years older at 30? I don't think anybody does. But lack of sleep 7 hours of restful sleep on a regular basis can make you age faster. If you have had a particularly stressful week of traveling and little sleep then you will start noticing fine lines of tiredness around your eyes and lips; they are the first signs of wrinkles.

2. Eyes Are The Windows To The Soul: Sparkling eyes is not something that can be achieved just by makeup. Naturally bright shinning eyes are a mark of undying beauty. But if you ignore your beauty sleep, you'll end up with puffy bloodshot eyes that make you look sick. Dark circles under the eyes are a sign of restlessness and very difficult to get rid of.

3. Tired Skin: Your skin can literally look 'tired'. It is a very distinct kind of look where you have a certain characteristic dulness to your skin. Have you ever met a friend after a night of waking and been called 'drained out'. The fresh radiant look you have after a good night's sleep is irreplaceable.

4. Skin Oil Balance: You need at least 7 hours of sleep for the oil balance of your skin to get restored. While sleeping when your body is at rest, your skin produces natural oils that keep your skin hydrated. Without sleep your skin will become rough and scaly like a fish and that too leads to premature aging.

5. Weighty Issues: It is surprising but true that lack of sleep can make you put on weight. Most people with sleep disorders have been known to have a obesity problem. If your sleep is not proper then you feel too tired to exercise and tend to binge eat. It can add an extra 5 pounds to you over a fortnight!

6. Hormonal Imbalances: Stress hormones start causing havoc in your system if you do not get restful sleep. You can never have flawless skin if your basic hormones are not in right proportions.

7. Headaches And Your Beauty: Can you imagine dressing up for a party or even thinking about looking good when you have splitting headaches? Lack of appropriate sleep causes headaches that can mar your beauty.
