The Importance of a Good Night’s Sleep
We’re sure you’re already well aware of how important it is to get a good night’s sleep for your overall health. Getting enough rest allows us to fight off ageing and reduce the stress we put on our bodies during the day. But did you know that taking care to look after your skin before you go to bed can also help to repair your skin while you sleep?
Let Your Skin Rejuvenate Overnight
By implementing a good beauty regime before you sleep, you can allow your skin to rebuild itself while you get some shuteye. Using the right products can enable it to rebuild its collagen, increase blood flow, and relax your face. Have you ever woken up in the morning and noticed your skin looked puffy and you had black rings under your eyes? This can be caused by lack of sleep and stress, but it can also be due to not having a thorough beauty routine before bed.
Make Your Nighttime Routine Simple
While it’s easy to get carried away with your nighttime routine, incorporating a huge array of products, it’s best to keep it simple. The easier it is to do each night, the more likely you are to keep up the good habit. Some days you’ll be exhausted and just want to plop into bed, so the faster you can complete your beauty routine, the better.
Step One: Cleanse
Washing your face with a good cleanser is vital at the end of the day. After being outside since the morning or even sitting in an office, impurities get into your pores. You may also have makeup on that needs to be removed. We recommend using the SorboDerm Natural Gentle Skin Cleanser 2.2, a gentle and replenishing cleanser that leaves your skin clean and deeply hydrated. Crafted with vitamin E, B3, B5, rice bran oil, and glycerin, it helps maintain the natural protective barrier and pH level of the skin. Take the time to massage the cleanser into your face, then use warm water to wash it off and a soft cloth to pat it dry.
Step Two: Hydrate
Once your skin has been cleansed, some of your natural oils may have been washed away. It’s time to rehydrate by using a facial spray, which helps balance your skin’s elements while softening it. A good facial spray can also soothe your skin if it’s feeling inflamed or sore. We recommend Natralus Superfood Aloe Vera Repair Spray - Certified Organic, crafted to be the ultimate solution for restoring and replenishing your skin after sun exposure. Its soothing and revitalising properties make it perfect for fast skin repair, helping you maintain a healthy glow.
Step Three: Focus on Your Eyes
The skin around our eyes shows age quickly. To keep this area wrinkle-free and bright, apply an eye serum or gel as part of your nightly routine. Hydrating this sensitive skin can reduce bags, puffiness, and wrinkles. A natural eye gel works best, and be sure to gently tap it around the eyes rather than rubbing it in.
Step Four: Moisturise
Moisturising is crucial for your nighttime beauty regime. Using a natural moisturiser, like our SorboDerm Natural Restoring Gentle Moisturiser 2.1, ensures your skin stays hydrated and nourished. This vegan, lightweight, non-greasy moisturiser is packed with rice bran oil, glycerine, and vitamin E, making it a natural remedy for excessively dry or problem skin. Avoid heavy moisturisers that could clog your pores overnight—opt for a lighter cream that will work while you sleep.
Added Tips for a Good Night’s Sleep
Remember to invest in products that are completely natural, free of nasties like petroleum and parabens, and avoid products that test on animals. Choose Australian-made organic skincare products to ensure quality. Invest in a good pillow and consider a silk or satin pillowcase to keep your skin crease-free while you sleep. Also, keep a glass of water with lemon by your bedside to stay hydrated during the night.
All Natralus products are natural and free from animal testing, nasty chemicals, parabens and petroleum. Our SorboDerm ranges and a range of other products are now available in Chemist Warehouse nationally!
