CHRONIC INSOMNIA DESTROYS SKIN HEALTH

Most of us have witnessed the adverse cosmetic impact on the face caused by just one night of sleep deprivation. 

A person may look a decade older in response to stress-induced changes that often accompany insomnia. 

To maintain healthy, youthful-looking skin, you should get at least 7 to 8 hours of restful sleep each night.  

In addition to inducing skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, sleep deprivation can worsen allergies.  

Collagen, one of the skin’s primary components, plays a key role in the structure and a youthful appearance.  Poor sleep can also effect the process of the skin’s collagen formation.
