If you sleep well, you feel rested the next day - which you can also see.

But does “beauty sleep” really exist?

A sleep researcher has the answer.

A scenario that young parents in particular are familiar with: After a night with many interruptions, you wake up after what feels like three hours of sleep.

You drag yourself into the bathroom, look in the mirror and would like to turn off the light immediately.

Because: Circles under the eyes, swollen or wrinkled facial features and more wrinkles immediately catch the eye.

It

doesn't

matter whether it's because of the offspring, a night of drinking or sleep disorders:

If you haven't slept enough

or

badly, you don't have to be surprised about a crumpled face in the morning.

But what does “beauty sleep” actually mean?

does it really exist?

Can you really sleep well?

In an interview with

Welt.de,

Jürgen Zulley, sleep researcher at the University of Regensburg, talks

about the effects of good sleep on our appearance: "

During sleep, a growth hormone is released that ensures that our skin can regenerate,

" says the expert: "If we sleep too little or if the deep sleep phase, which is most important for the release of the hormone, is disturbed, this is immediately noticeable: the skin becomes thinner and wrinkles form."

Tips for the perfect “beauty sleep”

Good sleep really does have a huge impact on how we look.

And with a few simple rules, we can increase the restorative effects of a good night's sleep even more.

Various women's magazines are full of tips and tricks for even better "beauty sleep".

Do you want to improve the quality of your sleep, fight wrinkles and look more relaxed?

Then the following rituals could be helpful:

  • Sleep on a pillow made of silk or satin:

    the fibers of these two materials are smoother than cotton, which is said to reduce skin folds.

    Even messy hair after getting up should be a thing of the past thanks to silk pillows.

  • Elevated sleep

    : If you tend to have swollen facial features after getting up, you should put one more pillow under your head.

    A raised head prevents water retention in the face.

    Another tip against water retention in the face: Avoid salty foods and alcohol in the afternoon and evening.

  • Ensure sufficient humidity:

    A good room climate is not only good for the respiratory tract, but also promotes the regeneration of the skin. Therefore, never sleep with the heating turned on, this leads to dry air in the bedroom, which is not good for the skin and respiratory tract. Better: Ventilate extensively before you go to bed, even in winter. A

    drying rack hung with damp laundry in the bedroom or an air humidifier

    provides even more humidity . Caution: Ventilate regularly if you use air humidifiers, otherwise mold can form in rooms.

  • Night care for the skin

    : If you massage your feet with a rich cream in the evening and leave it on under thick socks, you can look forward to soft skin on your feet in the morning.

    The following applies to the skin on the face: it should be free of make-up and dirt at night so that it can regenerate as best as possible.

    That means: Clean your face before going to bed with a mild facial soap and apply appropriate care products as required.

    If the skin is very dry, it can be richer.

    For normal skin, a light moisturizer will do—or nothing at all.

    Because: Excessive care is a common reason for impure or problem skin.

  • Hair care: The hair

    is also happy about a care unit lasting several hours.

    The night's rest is ideal for this: simply moisten the lengths of hair, massage in coconut oil, argan oil or another oil, put a towel on the pillow and wash your hair the next morning.
