Modern professionals are reportedly living increasingly stressful lifestyles as “hustle culture” steadily grows and goes on.

This can cause a lack of sleep that often has side effects you do not tend to notice until they are already incredibly pronounced and difficult to restore—skin fatigue, for example, is one of the more noticeable effects. Still, people are starting to take note of the effects their lifestyle has on their overall health.

Who knew that sleep was a skincare step people can take for granted?

The Power of Restorative SkinCare

Your skin is always at work trying to repair and renew itself, but this process is at its most effective at night, while you aren’t trying to fight off UVA/UVB rays or city smog. This makes your bedtime skincare regime especially important. Luxurious serums and oils are best to use at night so they can fully absorb and work their magic uninterrupted.

Restorative sleep that helps your body heal from the stresses of the day requires having good quality sleep—seven to eight hours, according to research—paired with the natural circadian rhythms of the body. These are the best natural skin-care steps to pay special attention to.

However, during those unavoidable busy days when sleep is an unfortunate temporary casualty, there are skincare products that are ready and waiting to help you out.

Reset to Restart

Of course, there are helpful products that are readily available in the market to help you out when you’ve missed your daily eight hours of sleep. L’Occitane Immortelle Overnight Reset Oil-in-Serum, for one, is like a good night‘s sleep in a bottle—renewing your skin to reveal its greatest potential in just six hours. If combined with eight hours of beauty sleep, the results are truly transformative.

If you feel like you’re missing an essential skincare step, this luxurious serum has you covered. This unique oil-in-serum blend has a super lightweight feel to the skin that’s both easy to apply and fast-acting. It also addresses dry patches that deepen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, which tends to happen when your skin isn’t given enough time to heal and repair itself with enough sleep at night.

Get your skin feeling plump and nurtured, and amplify the oil-in-serum’s effects, with any of L’Occitane’s moisturizers. Additionally, don’t forget your sunscreen!
