World Sleep Day 2020: Effects Of Sleep Deprivation On Your Beauty
You might have heard about the term 'beauty sleep'. Well, guess what? Beauty sleep is real! A proper good night's sleep can actually do wonders for your beauty. And lack of sleep can have adverse effects on your beauty. Apart from the obvious effects of lack of sleep such as looking tired, the bags under your eyes etc., it has some long-term outcomes on your beauty as well.
Proper sleep is important to rejuvenate your mind and body. After getting a good night's sleep, your skin also feels revitalised. However, sleep deprivation can affect the appearance of your skin and trigger various skin-related issues, such as acne, dry skin, skin allergies etc.
Through this article today, we aim to understand how harmful sleep deprivation can be and what are its adverse effects on your beauty. Read on to know more!
1. Your Skin Loses The Glow
Lack of sleep leads to an increase in the level of cortisol.[1] This is a hormone that triggers inflammation in the skin and makes your skin dull. Therefore, when you don't get enough sleep your skin loses its glow and tends to become dull and dry.
2. It Can Lead To Breakouts
Another
major
effect
of
lack
of
sleep
is
that
it
might
lead
to
breakouts
such
as
acne,
pimples
etc.
The
lack
of
sleep
weakens
your
immune
system
and
thus
your
skin
is
more
prone
to
acne-causing
bacteria.
Also,
lack
of
sleep
leads
to
an
increase
in
skin
inflammation
and
thus
can
cause
breakouts
such
as
acne.[2]
3. It Can Worsen Skin Conditions
Sleep deprivation can not only lead to breakouts but it can also worsen any skin condition that you might have. So, if you're suffering from acne or any other skin condition, you need to be particular about your sleep. Getting a good night's sleep will help heal the skin faster.
4. It Leads To Faster Skin Ageing
Proper
sleep
is
essential
to
rejuvenate
your
skin
and
keep
it
healthy.
Sleep
deprivation,
however,
decreases
the
collagen
production
in
the
skin
and
thus
it
can
lead
to
signs
of
skin
ageing
such
as
fine
lines
and
wrinkles.
Besides,
lack
of
sleep
also
diminishes
the
skin
barrier
function
and
thus
accelerates
the
process
of
skin
ageing.[3]
5. It Causes Dry Skin
While you sleep, your body not only rejuvenates itself but improves the hydration as well. Hence, getting proper sleep moisturises the body and keeps it hydrated. And if you don't get proper sleep, it will lead to dry skin and also the various issues that come with having dry skin.
6. The Under-eye Bags And Dark Circles!
The
area
under
your
eyes
is
quite
sensitive
and
thus
it
gets
affected
easily.
One
of
the
most
visible
effects
of
lack
of
sleep
is
reflected
in
your
under-eye
area.
The
dark
circles,
swollen
eyes
and
bags
under
your
eyes
more
of
often
than
not
are
caused
by
the
lack
of
sleep.
This
can
ruin
your
whole
appearance
and
thus
shouldn't
be
taken
lightly.[4]
7. It Can Contribute To Weight Gain
This
might
sound
weird
to
you,
but
it's
true.
An
activity
as
sedentary
as
sleep
can
influence
your
weight.
Studies
have
shown
that
lack
of
sleep
influences
your
weight
and
leads
to
obesity.
The
lack
of
sleep
does
make
you
more
hungry
and
your
cravings
for
sweet
stuff
increases.
All
this
contributes
to
weight
gain.[5]
