Skin conditions when staying up late


Skin regeneration speed at night is twice as fast as during the day. Collagen is also produced more quickly at night, and eliminating toxic substances from the skin is also better. Therefore, getting enough sleep at the right time will help the skin regeneration process; the skin will be brighter the next day, and damaged cells will be restored quickly.

If you stay up late, the skin cell regeneration process will occur abnormally, causing dysfunction of the epidermal cell layer. This accelerates the aging process, causing dull skin, lack of elasticity, wrinkles appearing on the skin, dry skin, and acne.

Dry skin, premature aging when staying up late

Staying up late regularly will prevent the body from needing more water. The skin's moisture balance is also imbalanced, causing the skin to become dry and vulnerable to factors from the external environment. This process will cause the skin to age quickly, be difficult to recover, and affect aesthetics.

Dry skin causes the skin to become rough and flaky because there is not enough time for the skin to regenerate damaged cells. Over time, the skin will accumulate too many dead cells, causing it to no longer be smooth and lose its youthful appearance.

Sleeping late also causes an imbalance in the pH level of the skin and a nutritional imbalance, causing the skin to not be provided with enough moisture and necessary nutrients and causing the skin to age prematurely and faster.

Lots of acne

This is the most apparent harmful effect, especially for people suffering from acne. This is because when staying up late, hormones will be disturbed, and the adrenal glands secrete a lot of cortisol, making the skin more prone to acne.

Dark circles under the eyes

The most noticeable thing is that dark circles will appear around the eyes after staying up late at night. Also, blood streaks appear in the whites of the eyes, making the eyes lifeless and looking more tired.

Poor blood circulation in the skin around the eyes due to staying up late leads to the skin not being provided with enough nutrients. Over time, the skin under the eyes will become increasingly dark and discolored, and even premature eye bags will appear.

Black, dull skin, early appearance of melasma and freckles

When you stay up late regularly, your skin will become less beautiful because the melanin pigment will form faster and more, making your skin darker and dull, when melanin accumulates at one point on the skin, freckles and melasma gradually form.

In addition, staying up late regularly will lead to circulatory system disorders. Abnormal skin metabolism causes dry skin and pale skin color...Skin diseases such as seborrheic dermatitis, folliculitis, and atopic dermatitis... are more likely to recur.

How should I sleep to have beautiful skin?


When we sleep on time and sleep deeply, the body's hormone secretion is balanced, helping to improve resistance.

Accordingly, the best operating time is:

From 9:00 pm to 11:00 pm is the time when the immune system detoxifies. At this time, you should stay quiet or listen to relaxing music.
From 11 pm to 1 am is the liver's detoxification time.
From 1:00 am to 3:00 am is the time for bile detoxification.
From 3 am to 5 am is the time for detoxification of the lungs.
From 5 am - 7 am is the time when the large intestine detoxifies. You need to go to the bathroom at this time.
From 1:00 am to 4:00 am is the time when the spinal cord produces blood.

To get a good night's sleep, you should take these steps:

- Arrange work and daytime habits appropriately. Complete the work that needs to be done during the day; keep work from affecting the evening and sleep, which will lead to difficulty sleeping.

- Go to bed before 10 pm, eliminate the habit of using social networks, and watch movies too late.

- The bedroom is dark enough to make it easier to fall asleep.

- Eat a nutritious, balanced diet at breakfast and lunch. Dinner should be light; eat early enough or be too full in the evening.

- Do gentle exercise before bed to release excess energy in the body after a day of activity.

- Keep your mind relaxed; don't overthink when going to sleep.

- When you take these steps and create good sleep habits, it will help the skin regeneration process better and give you back bright skin.
