Beauty Sleep: How Quality Rest Impacts Appearance

Posted by Asha on

It’s common knowledge that most of us don’t get enough sleep. What most people don’t realize is that the hours we spend asleep are actually among the most constructive: certain areas of your brain work their hardest during sleep, and skin is best able to repair and regenerate itself at night.

Circadian rhythms are periods of biological activity that occur when you’re awake and asleep, controlled by the way the body’s biological clock responds to light and dark.

During the day skin cells are in defense mode, working to protect themselves from UV exposure and free radical damage. When the sun goes down, your mind and body switch into an active regeneration mode – repairing daytime damage and boosting the production of substances that protect and renew the skin. During the night our skin is under regeneration mode - peak hours 9.00 pm-midnight.

ME TIME is a revitalizing product that transforms skin overnight by optimizing nighttime skin recovery. ME TIME has 5 ingredients Camu Camu, Ashwagandha, Barley Gras, Alfalfa, and Lucuma which supply the body with the most important vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

  • The product mainly stimulates the cell metabolism
  • It promotes healthy sleep and brings you down after a stressful day
  • It slows down the aging process

Camu Camu
Camu Camu is a natural source of vitamin C, it can help to delay signs of aging. It works to keep your skin looking smooth and youthful by preventing pre-mature aging, it can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles that are already present.

At night our body temperature rises, causing more water loss through the skin.

Camu Camu participates in the regulation of the water balance, as it stabilizes the water balance making the skin look plumper.

It also supports the development of connective tissue (collagen) and tightens the skin thereby improving the complexion.

Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha is best known for its ability to reduce stress. Ashwagandha is used as an “adaptogen” to help the body cope with daily stress, as a natural tonic. Ashwagandha effectively minimizes stress and enhances energy levels which are major contributing factors to insomnia that women need to tackle to get good sleep. Ashwagandha is packed with a compound called trimethylene glycol, directly promoting sleep in the body. It effectively reduces Cortisol levels which is the key stress-inducing hormone in the body. This makes Ashwagandha sleep beneficial for women dealing with an anxiety disorder or depression as well.

Barley grass
Barley grass, like wheatgrass, is one of the top superfoods.

It's full of minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. In addition, it contains a high level of bioavailability. This means that a particularly large amount of the nutrients can be absorbed quickly and easily by the body.

Barley grass supports boosting the immune defense mechanism of the body.

The plant contains the phytochemicals- chlorophyll and proanthocyanidin, both of which act as antioxidants, neutralize radicals and thus slow down the aging process. Chlorophyll also has anti-inflammatory and germicidal effects. Proanthocyanidin also has a beneficial effect on the skin and connective tissue. The skin cells are protected from free radicals and it repairs fiber proteins so that the skin regains its elasticity.

Alfalfa
Alfalfa is an amazing source of essential phytonutrients, including vitamins A, B, D, E, and K, chlorophyll, polyphenols, amino acids, biotin, and a plethora of skin-loving minerals. Alfalfa has the ability to reduce cell death and DNA damage caused by free radicals. It does this by lowering the production of free radicals and improving the body’s ability to fight them. The phytoestrogens in the plant contributes to the release of hormones and thus relieve stress.

Lucuma
Lucuma powder is packed with the important carotenoid known as beta-carotene – a red-orange pigment that is converted into vitamin A in our bodies, where it encourages cell repair and growth, visibly improves skin tone and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Lucuma powder not only stimulates wound closure and tissue regeneration, it also affords anti-inflammatory, anti-aging and skin-repair benefits for our skin.
