The truth about restful sleep
Potions, lotions, creams, scrubs, peels, stretches, and even surgical procedures - no untried treatment, no money saved in the search for the secret to long-lasting beauty. BUT, when it comes to looking radiant, there is one thing that tops all others to make you look and feel like a million dollars: SLEEP.
Study after study shows that sleep is number one when it comes to looking younger, healthier and fresher, and sleep works both on the inside and on the outside, it is the time when cell regeneration and rejuvenation occurs. Here at Gx Pillows we know all about the importance of sleep and cellular recovery, that's why the Company was originally founded and you can read more about it here.
We've put together a short, six-point list of the beauty benefits of getting enough sleep. The soft yet supportive Gx Suspension Pillow is the perfect sleeping companion, cradling your head and neck in perfect comfort to help ensure a sound sleep through the night.
One of the first things we notice about sleep deprived people is their 'tired eyes'. Puffiness, dark circles, heavy lids, and general lack of shine are an instant treat. Get enough sleep and you will wake up with brighter eyes and less puffiness, stay well hydrated and use a Gx suspension pillow to keep your head slightly elevated and it will reduce puffiness.
Many of the modern anti-aging creams contain collagen, which is the molecule that occurs naturally in the body to hold things together and keep everything firm. As we age, our body's production declines, but there is little scientific evidence to support the skin's ability to absorb collagen from creams. However, it is well known that we produce collagen when we sleep, so save money on expensive creams and make sure you get enough sleep.
Blood flow to the skin increases when we sleep, so getting enough sleep ensures that you wake up with glowing skin. Conversely, if you don't sleep well, blood flow is restricted, leading to a dull, gray, lifeless complexion and a pool of blood around the eyes, creating those tell-tale dark circles we all fear.
Interestingly, lack of sleep can make you appear unhappy. Two other critical areas of the face can suffer from lack of sleep; the mouth can fall at the corners and the eyebrow can be outlined and furrowed to look like a frown, so in addition to feeling depressed, you end up looking down. A simple pillow change to help you fall asleep more easily and stay asleep longer can bring a smile back to your face.
Sleep time is repair time. Sun, cigarette smoke, free radicals from the environment: there are many agents that actively damage your skin during the day. As you sleep, your body produces more growth hormones that repair damaged cells - this is particularly the case in the deeper phases of sleep, so uninterrupted sleep is the best kind. A Gx suspension pillow holds its shape longer than a conventional pillow, so there is less chance of waking up at night.
What we're saying is that of all the things that you do that add to your beauty routine, the most effective is a good night's sleep. Next time you want to spend a little on an expensive magic skin treatment, why not spend a few on a Gx suspension pillow? We are confident that you will sleep better at night and wake up refreshed, rejuvenated and feeling healthier.
