9. Neglecting Sleep

Chronic lack of sleep interferes with the skin’s overnight repair processes, leading to a dull complexion, increased fine lines, and worsening of conditions such as eczema and acne. During deep sleep, the body boosts blood flow to the skin and repairs cellular damage, helping you wake up with a healthier glow.
Skimping on rest accelerates visible aging and leaves skin less able to defend against environmental stressors. The National Sleep Foundation emphasizes the importance of seven to nine hours of quality sleep each night to support optimal skin health.
