Magic doesn't happen during the day, but it happens at night
Good sleep will keep you healthy, and more importantly, keep your skin moisturized, because "beauty sleep" is a real thing!
Almost every system in our body is affected by the quality and quantity of sleep we get at night. Sleep determines how much you eat, how much fat you absorb, whether you fight inflammation and how well you handle stress. When we face stress and lack of sleep (sleep deprivation), these two thieves will join forces to steal the water from your body cells, so we will "look tired", that is, we will look older and drier. When the skin barrier function is impaired, it’s not just the skin cells that lose water. The truth is that every cell in the body is also leaking water.
In addition to getting a good night's sleep and feeling refreshed when we wake up, we can also "eat" water-rich fruits and vegetables to help replenish our cells. Foods such as cookies, chips, pastries, and artificial foods high in fat and sugar are not only low in water, but can actually dehydrate you. On the contrary, when we eat foods with high water content and rich in nutrients (such as natural fruits and vegetables), our body does not need to consume precious water to digest and process these foods. The water consumed will replenish cell moisture and help maintain optimal cell function!
