Can Sleep Really Help Give You Beautiful Skin?

We all know that sleep is a key ingredient for making us feel alert and energised, but can it really help give us beautiful skin too?

As we snooze, our skin gets to work to repair itself and studies suggest that new skin cells grow faster when we are asleep. It’s also the time that our skin produces collagen which helps to plump it up, leading to firmer, smoother skin and fewer wrinkles. Research also suggests that the blood flow to our face is also increased as we sleep, which helps to give our complexion a healthier appearance when we wake.

Have you ever wondered why many skincare companies offer specific nighttime serums, oils and masks? These products are specifically designed to aid our skin during the night. By having a good nighttime routine, this not only helps to relax your busy mind before bed, it also helps you get the most from the products themselves.

So what is it a good night-time routine? I would recommend using a good quality cleanser Toner and Moisturiser. I would always double cleanse and for me personally, I love the The Skincare Collection from Sienna X. The Cleansing Balm helps to remove the negative traces left behind from pollution too. The first cleanse helps to remove make up, dirt and excess oils. I would then use The Cleansing Lotion to hydrate and purify my skin. The Toning Solution can then be spritzed over my face or applied to a cotton pad, followed by The Eye Cream, The Miracle Mask and or The Facial Oil.

Our skin is the largest organ we have and we need to take care of it. Even if you are someone that doesn’t wear a lot of make up day to day, you and your skin can still benefit massively from a healthy skincare routine and a good nights sleep!

Until next time, enjoy your beauty sleep!

How To Detox Your Skin This January

Happy New Year! If you are anything like me and maybe indulged over Christmas in a little too much Prosecco, then this month’s blog is for you. With Christmas and New Year celebrations, food and drink can all take its toll on our skin. Therefore this month, I wanted to share some top tips for detoxing your skin this January.

Cleanse, Tone & Moisturise…

Our skin is the largest organ we have and by having a healthy skincare regime, you are doing all you can to help take care of it. I love using the Sienna X Skincare Collection and by using these high quality, natural products twice a day is the first step to achieving this. 

Shine Bright…

Exfoliate with The Facial Polish at least once a week to remove dead skin cells. This not only helps to remove excess oil and build up of dirt, which helps to fight against breakouts. It also reveals brighter, healthier skin too!

Mask it…

Using The Miracle Mask as part of your skincare regime will work wonders, especially in the winter months. This helps to replace lost moisture and helps to prevent skin from drying out that is often caused by the colder temperatures and central heating. Whether you need a quick fix of it working it’s magic for 10 minutes or you to choose to leave it overnight to achieve deeper nourishment, this one is a winter wonder!

Hydrate Your Body…

Christmas often leads to us drinking more alcohol, which in turn not only dehydrates our bodies, but our skin too. As much as a warm cuppa is more appealing, it’s still really important to drink lots of water. The recommended intake per day for men is 3.7 litres and for women 2.7 litres.

Beauty Sleep…

Sleep plays a huge part in not only allowing our minds to rest, but also our skin too! While we sleep, skin produces collagen which helps to plump it up, leading to fewer wrinkles. Blood flow to the face is also increased as we snooze, which helps to give our complexion a healthier appearance.

If you would like any additional information on any of the products I’ve mentioned this month, feel free to pop a question or comment below.

How To Have Radiant Skin This Winter

Throughout the winter months, the colder temperatures can leave our skin feeling dehydrated which can lead to irritation and sensitivity. Therefore this month, I wanted to share 5 five easy ways you can keep your skin happy, healthy and looking radiant.

Drink Water…

I know the idea of having a hot drink on a cold day is far more appealing, but it’s just as important to keep our skin hydrated throughout the winter months as we do in the summer months. By drinking 6-8 glasses of water a day, this helps to flush out toxins, renew skin cells and helps maintain blood pressure.

Cleansing Balm…

This luxury balm removes even long wear and waterproof makeup, (making it perfect for the party season) whilst deeply cleansing away the day and removing negative traces left behind from pollution. It contains Incha Inchi Oil which hydrates and nourishes the skin. It also restructures and repairs deep down which helps to maintain youthfulness and elasticity of the skin.

Miracle Mask…

There is no better treat for your skin than this! The most revolutionising moisture hit in a mask. Natural Manuka Honey helps to retain moisture with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, helping the skin appear instantly brighter and blemish free.

Rose Water…

The perfect duo of skincare and tanning! This lightweight and hydrating rose water, with tanning actives, allows you to build a natural, healthy looking glow. Blended with Chicory Root extract to rebalance and replenish skin, while protecting it from environmental pollution. Organic Rose extract supports the skins pH balance, hydrates and tones for a radiant healthy glow.

Skin Finish…

Ideal for the face and body, this illuminating mist instantly brightens skin making it perfect to use with or without a tan. It’s formulated with highly active moisturising and antioxidant ingredients including Green Tea to ensure skin moisture is restored.

If you would like any additional information or advice, please feel free to leave a comment below, I would love to hear from you. In the meantime, I hope you have a lovely Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
