Bedtime teas: the importance of quality sleeep for a healthy skin

A varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are essential to maintain a beautiful skin and a radiant face. 

In recent posts, we listed some of the best antioxidant foods and explained how they protect and improve the appearance of our skin (see our articles on the Antioxidant properties of White Tea and on the Health benefits of Green Tea for your skin).

Today we would like to insist on the importance of a good night’s sleep for healthy skin. 

Quality sleep is vital for a refreshed, firm and naturally glowing. 

‘Restorative sleep’ is a term that also applies to skin health, as skin cells renew themselves and heal from the day’s stress during sleep. 

To avoid awakening with a dull skin and puffiness around the eyes, here is a selection of bedtime teas that will help you fully rest at night, relax your skin and wake up refreshed.

Bedtime teas: sleep your way to a better skin with medicinal plants

A sleep routine (waking up and going to bed at regular times), having dinner early at night, avoiding exciting substances such as caffeine in the evening, avoiding screens, including mobile phone screens, before bedtime … are some of the habits which will help us take care of our skin. 

If falling asleep is difficult because of stress, worries or a poor digestion, bedtime teas may be very helpful natural sleep remedies.

Here are some of the plants that will help you achieve restorative sleep and wake up with a glowing skin!

Due to its relaxing and sedative properties, Valerian has been used for centuries to treat nervousness, anxiety and insomnia, and is still one of the most recommended plants in this regard. 

It also helps reduce muscular and joint pain and headaches.
