Sydney dermatologist Dr Ritu Gupta was featured in The Sydney Morning Herald for her expertise on the importance of sleep for achieving great skin.
Dr Ritu mentions that sleep is crucial to maintaining good health and achieving healthy, glowing skin. During sleep, the skin enters a repair mode, where collagen is produced, which is essential for maintaining hydration and elasticity.
Research shows that damaged skin naturally repairs itself at night; therefore, it is all the more reason to adopt good sleep hygiene and use high-quality nighttime skin products.
Dr Ritu also cites stress as the most common cause of bad sleep. Stress leads to chronic sleep deprivation, which affects collagen breakdown and increases the skin’s susceptibility to various issues, such as eczema, infections, and inflammation. She recommends bedtime essentials such as night creams, especially those containing peptides, as these encourage the skin to produce more collagen.
