While You Were Sleeping.....

Renew Your Skin With a Good Night's Sleep

Speaking of fresh starts: Did you know that the simplest way to rejuvenate your skin is to get a little shut-eye?  Our amazing bodies undergo a powerful renewal process while we sleep.  Our skin cells regenerate at a faster rate and repair the daily damage that we inflict upon our skin with stress, UV rays, pollution and other free-radical exposure.   A higher body temperature at night and increased circulation delivers essential nutrients and oxygen to the skin.   

Aim for at least 7-8 hours every night to avoid dark circles, puffy eyes, a dull complexion, fine lines and even acne.   Make it your resolution this year to give your skin the rejuvenation that it deserves!

Tips to Becoming a Sleeping Beauty

If you're anything like me, dozing off at night is not always as easy as it sounds.  We all lead such busy lives, it can be difficult to relax and let our bodies naturally float off to sleep.  Prescriptive sleep aides can be addictive and can leave you feeling groggy in the morning.  My little trick is a dose of Magnesium Citrate before bed and it knocks me out!  A safe dose is 300-400mg but always check with your primary health care provider first. 

And before you lay your head down to rest, make sure that you are using a silk pillowcase!  Snoozing on silk is far better for your skin and hair than cotton.  Since silk is essentially frictionless, it allows your skin to slip across the pillowcase.  The result is waking up to less creasing and sleep lines.  Try it for yourself:  http://www.silkskin.co.uk/

Xeomin has the same mechanism of action as Botox, meaning they both relax the muscles in order to assist in the reduction of 'active' lines due to too much movement in the face.
