I remember my Grandmother telling me that an hour's sleep before midnight was worth two after. I'm not sure how true that is, however there are a few ways that you can further boost your physical looks while you are sleeping, how great is that?
Great results - minimum effort!
Feet and hands - While working in childcare, I needed to wash my hands frequently throughout the day, leading to dry, chapped hands. I'm sure there are plenty of other professions that cause your skin to dry out too. Before going to bed rub a generous amount of cream (or oil) onto your hands and feet and then put on a pair of cotton socks and/or gloves. Really be generous with the cream as over night it will sink into your skin and when you wake your hands will be soft and ready to face another day.
Hair - If you treat yourself to a deep conditioning treatment at the hairdressers then the treatment can only be left in for a short while, whereas if you put a treatment on at home, it can be left on for several hours overnight. There are plenty of hair serums that you can buy especially for this or you can try making one of your own. Make sure you cover the pillowcase with a towel before going to sleep.
Face - Of course one of the best ways of having healthy looking, glowing skin is to eat well, drink several glasses of water a day and, of course, get plenty of sleep but if you suffer a kin breakout then try here for some simple remedies to help clear your skin overnight.
Skin - when having your pre-bed bath, take the time to dry bush your body first to remove all the dead skin cells. Then after your bath, massage some oil or an oil based product into damp skin to keep in the moisture. Even better - how about using one with lavender essential oil to help you drift off to sleep.
So why not try one or two of these suggestions to help boost the power of your beauty sleep!
