Which of the following materials can harm your skin at night?
1 of 5
Direct skin contact with all synthetic fabrics should be avoided as they have a harmful effect and can cause damage. These fabrics have a tendency to make the skin appear weary when you wake up. Materials like nylon, polyester, spandex and acrylic should not be used for either nightwear or as bed sheets and pillow cases. Best materials for night time usage are the finer textiles, such as silk and organic cotton as they have a gentle and soothing effect on the skin.
You should apply aloe vera to your skin at night for a fresh look in the morning
2 of 5
Hydration is one of the most important things required by the skin at night and the best agent for the job is aloe vera. While you sleep, your skin temperature increases, making it prone to dryness. Thus, it's essential to properly moisturize your skin during the night. Aloe vera is very effective for this purpose as it provides the necessary hydration, while its antibacterial properties keep skin clean and free from germs throughout the night. Use it as a gel, cream or mask, depending on the nature of your skin and specific requirements.

This practice keeps your eyes from becoming puffy in the morning.

This will ensure that your skin feels fresh, healthy and younger looking when you wake up.
The concept of beauty sleep is a myth
4 of 5
Beauty sleep is absolutely real and necessary for maintaining skin health. Getting less than the required 8 hours of sleep every night makes skin look dull and aged in the morning. This occurs as lack of sleep leads to excessive production of the stress hormone known as cortisol, which causes the skin to sag and promotes the formation of wrinkles. Make sure you get enough sleep if you want to wake up feeling fresh.
Sleeping on your back will deprive your face of nutrients and make it look dull and aged
5 of 5
Those who have a habit of sleeping on their back have much younger looking skin than those who are used to sleeping on their sides or stomach. This is because their face does not rub against the pillows or the sheets while they sleep. Not sleeping on your back will put pressure on your face, making it prone to wrinkles.
