& YOUR SKIN // By Liesl Lamprecht

id you know that stress and sleep can have a significant impact on the appearance of your skin? If you’re struggling to manage your stress and get your eight hours of beauty sleep, rest assured that you’re not alone. According to a study in the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, the quality and length of our sleep can have a considerable impact on our skin’s overall health and wellbeing. The skin recharges and recovers while we sleep, and uses the restful time to actively heal, restore and eliminate toxins. If stress is keeping you up at night, your body’s ability to carry out these essential functions is compromised.
