We all know the proverbial concept of beauty sleep. But what if I told you it’s more than just a myth? In fact, it’s long been proven that beauty sleep is a phenomenon with real-life implications. While we sleep, our muscles regenerate, and so do our organs, our immune system, our hormones, and, yes, even our skin! Between about 11pm and 6am, our epidermis (the outermost layer of our skin) is actively regenerating, which means that old cells are replaced by new ones. Just prior to this regenerative phase, between about 9 - 11 pm, the barrier function of our epidermis is weakened, which makes our skin uniquely absorbent and thus extra-receptive for skin care.
