All along we thought Sleeping Beauty was only a fairytale for kids. Turns out, the world’s best natural beauty treatment is free of charge. A recent study commissioned by Estée Lauder at the University Hospitals Case Medical Center in USA, is the first to conclusively demonstrate that inadequate sleep correlates with reduced skin health and accelerates skin ageing. Sleep deprivation can cause premature skin ageing and a decrease in the skin’s ability to recover after sun exposure. When you sacrifice sleep, you decrease the ability of the skin barrier, or the outer-most layer of skin, to recover from the daily damage it endures. That’s problematic because the skin barrier plays two important roles when it comes to healthy-looking skin: It locks in moisture and prevents foreign micro-organisms from getting in. Cells that make up the skin barrier contain keratin, which is a protein that keeps skin hydrated by preventing water from evaporating. Just another reason to be extra lazy this weekend. Rest up Sprout fans. #changingskin #loveyourskin
