Did you know that your skin is actually hard at work every night? While you’re getting your beauty sleep, your skin is clocking in for its own overnight shift. As strange as the idea might sound, the science behind it makes total sense. At night, your skin shifts from defense mode to repair mode, working to fix the damage it accumulated throughout the day.
The key thing happening during sleep is mitosis — a process where your skin’s cells divide to replace old, damaged ones. This means your skin works on creating new, healthy cells, producing more collagen, and repairing micro-damage caused by things like UV exposure and pollution. That’s why your skin looks so refreshed in the morning!
At night, your skin barrier also becomes more permeable, making it easier for skincare products to work their magic. This is why nighttime skincare is so crucial. The products you apply at night, like retinol, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides, can penetrate deeper and work more effectively when your skin is in repair mode.
But, if you’re not getting enough sleep, all of this doesn’t happen properly. Lack of sleep can disrupt your skin’s natural repair process, leading to dullness, puffiness, and a weakened skin barrier.
