How Poor Sleep Is Ageing Your Skin (And How to Fix It Naturally)

How Poor Sleep Is Aging Your Skin

You can have the best skincare routine in the world - but if your sleep is suffering, your skin will show it.

After 40, sleep becomes even more important because your skin relies heavily on overnight repair.

As we explored in why your skin changes after 40, this is one of the most overlooked factors in skin ageing.

🌙 What Happens to Your Skin While You Sleep?

During sleep:

• Collagen production increases

• Skin repairs damage

• Hydration levels rebalance

👉 Poor sleep disrupts all of this.
