How Sleep Quality Shapes Skin Health

We’ve all heard of “beauty sleep,” but science confirms it: quality sleep is one of the most powerful beauty treatments. During deep sleep, the skin enters a repair mode, regenerating cells and producing collagen.

What happens during sleep

• Collagen repair: Nighttime is when the body naturally boosts collagen synthesis.
• Hydration balance: Poor sleep increases cortisol, which dehydrates the skin.
• Barrier renewal: Skin cells regenerate faster during deep rest.

The effects of poor sleep

• Dark circles and puffiness
• Dull, dehydrated skin
• Accelerated wrinkle formation

How to improve sleep for skin

• Keep a regular bedtime routine.
• Reduce blue light exposure before bed.
• Use supportive night care — hydrating serums and creams enhance the repair process.

At Dr. Dermaluci Lab, our philosophy is to design night-time skincare that aligns with your skin’s natural circadian rhythms.

Conclusion:
Glowing skin is built overnight. Respect your sleep, and your skin will reward you.
