World Sleep Day: How to Get Your Best Beauty Sleep

March 14 is World Sleep Day. Who couldn’t benefit from a few more hours of sleep? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 1 in 3 adults in the United States reported not getting enough rest or sleep daily. The Cleveland Clinic reports that sleep deprivation is when you aren’t sleeping enough or you aren’t getting good, quality sleep. When severe or happens over an extended period, it can cause disruptive symptoms that interfere with even the most routine activities. Long-term sleep deprivation can worsen many health conditions.

So, is “beauty sleep” a real thing? Well, the experts are divided on the subject. But the positive benefits of getting a good night’s sleep do benefit the appearance of the skin. Since the body rejuvenates itself during the nighttime sleep cycle, the skin benefits as well. As beauty editors, we of course are obsessed with all the beauty product that refresh our skin while we sleep. We have curated a list of products that we think are necessary for that nightime beauty renewal.
