What happens to our skin while we sleep?
If during the day our skin defends itself from atmospheric conditions and stress, from the professional and personal pressure syndrome, called “ city syndrome ”, in the evening comes the time for rest and repair.
The skin, through a natural cellular process, exploits the night hours to get rid of the free radicals accumulated during the day and does so in particular from 11 pm to 4 am, the famous ” golden hour “. But chronic stress and poor and irregular sleep, increasingly frequent, have deleterious effects on youth and skin health. The complexion and the gaze are extinguished, the features are marked, and the wrinkles are accentuated.
