Beauty sleep: Starting to sleep from 10 PM until 2 AM the next morning, according to scientific research, this is the time when the skin on your face metabolizes the fastest and adjusts itself. If you don't sleep during this period, it will affect the speed of skin metabolism, making people's skin prone to aging. Therefore, there is a saying about "beauty sleep." Doing this is better than using many high-end cosmetics. Let me continue: To make it clearer for everyone, I'll number the points, hehe!
First, pay attention to your sleeping posture. Everyone knows that our heart is located slightly to the left of the chest. If you often sleep on your left side, it can easily put pressure on the heart. Similarly, sleeping face down can more easily compress the heart and chest cavity, which is not good for your health. Most importantly, sleeping on your left side frequently can lead to a smaller left face and a larger right face, affecting facial blood circulation and skin metabolism. Therefore, the best sleeping posture should be alternating between lying on your left and right sides with your body slightly curved, prioritizing sleeping on your right side to relax all muscles, which benefits skin metabolism and maintains smooth breathing.
Second, pay attention to your pillow. After the age of 18, the ideal pillow height is between ten to fifteen centimeters, generally equivalent to the width of one shoulder. When lying on your side, your neck and head should be parallel to your shoulders. The pillow shouldn't be too soft or too hard; the best option is one filled with buckwheat hulls and covered with pure cotton fabric. Both too soft and too hard pillows can affect sleep since they are in direct contact with your face.
Third, here comes the important part. All the previous points one and two are based on you being able to fall asleep soundly. If you understand these principles but still can't fall asleep after lying down at 10 PM, tossing and turning until 1 or 2 AM, it's no different from going to bed at 1 or 2 AM. You can drink a glass of milk before bed (this can easily lead to weight gain, so overweight girls should be cautious) to adjust your sleep schedule, and that's fine.
Fourth, don't burden your skin too much before bed. Don't apply layer upon layer of water, cream, or oil on your face. In summer, after washing your face before sleeping, spraying a light moisturizing mist is enough. For dry skin in winter, applying an appropriate amount of lotion for protection is sufficient.
Fifth, pay attention to your sleep environment. It's easier to fall asleep in a relatively quiet environment and enter deep sleep. The temperature of the sleep environment should ideally be kept between 15-24 degrees Celsius, which is also suitable for skin rest and metabolism. Of course, a quiet sleep environment won't disturb the skin's rest either.
