World Sleep Day

Today is World Sleep Day, an annual event, intended to be a celebration of sleep and a call to action on important issues related to sleep, including medicine, education, social aspects and driving. It is organized by the World Sleep Day Committee of World Sleep Society and aims to lessen the burden of sleep problems on society through better prevention and management of sleep disorders.

We all know that a good night’s sleep can mean good skin health and a glowing complexion because when you’re sleep-deprived, your body makes more of the stress hormone cortisol. Today’s post is dedicated to a good night’s sleep and everything you need to awake up energized and radiant. Here are some beautifying next-generation night treatments that target specific skin concerns, from hyperpigmentation, pore size, fine lines and wrinkles and skins firmness.

RODIAL CBD Sleep Drops Booster
Soothing overnight treatment

The CBD Sleep Drops contain the balancing, non-hallucinogenic active ingredient CBD from the hemp plant. Its strong anti-inflammatory properties help to calm the skin and reduce redness. Formulated alongside elasticity boosting Collagen, moisturising Squalane and anti-inflammatory actives, Purslane and Chamomile, these therapeutic drops will leave skin feeling soothed, regenerated and comforted.

MZ Skin’s ‘Replenish & Restore’ mask works hard while you sleep to make skin appear smoother, firmer and more radiant by morning. It’s enriched with powerful ingredients that stimulate cell growth to promote a youthful-looking complexion – Hyaluronic Acid plumps with instant hydration, while Plantago Extract brightens and evens tone.

BYNACHT Perfect Nacht Sleeping Balm
Helps to promote sleep

Research shows that the skin’s renewal rate almost doubles at night because it’s free from external stressors, making it more receptive to active ingredients. BYNACHT’s ‘Perfect Nacht’ balm helps to ease you into slumber with a fragrant blend of essential oils. Ylang Ylang Flower Oil, Melissa Officinalis Leaf, and Lavandula Angustifolia Oil are proven to support a good night’s rest, so you can give your complexion the care it needs.

THIS WORKS Deep Sleep Pillow Spray

Relaxation is essential for getting a good night’s sleep, and This Works’ pillow spray has been formulated with this in mind. The soothing blend of Lavender, Vetivert and Wild Camomile essential oils will help calm the mind in preparation for a restorative slumber.

ALLIES OF SKIN Mandelic Pigmentation Corrector Night Serum
Targets problems such as hyper pigmentation

This next-generation serum works hard to treat stubborn breakouts, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and brighten your complexion as you sleep. Infused with Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide and a blend of Rosehip and Tamanu oils, it gently exfoliates and enhances cellular renewal, while boosting hydration. Peptides also combat redness and inflammation.

ONE OCEAN BEAUTY Ultra Marine Cellulite Night Cream
An overnight treatment to fight cellulite

Sounds too good to be true? You’ll have to try it! One Ocean Beauty’s rich night cream harnesses the power of two sustainably sourced marine ingredients to help improve the appearance of cellulite. It’s specially formulated with proteins that follow your body’s natural circadian rhythms, firming and toning overnight. It’s blended with nourishing Murumuru Seed and Shea Butters, which have a moisturizing effect you’ll really notice in the morning.

NURSE JAMIE Beauty Bear™ Age Defy Pillow
For less sleep wrinkles and a better sleep in general

My avid readers know that I swear on Nurse Jamie’s uniquely shaped Beauty Bear™ pillow that is designed to support your neck and lumbar muscles, allowing you to sleep more soundly. The satin covering doesn’t absorb like cotton cases – it allows your skin to retain its natural moisture and oils, helping to minimize the appearance and creation of deep-set sleep wrinkles.

Awaken feeling and looking revitalised – this is what we all want. And with the fact that we should all stay home due to the corona virus, we might have the chance to get more sleep. Stay safe!
