Every day our body is exposed to numerous external influences. Our skin, hair and nails have important functions in our body and reliably protect us from heat, light, infections and injuries. External influences such as UV radiation or make-up stress our skin. At night, when we come to rest, the skin, hair, nails and connective tissue regenerate and thus maintain their function and a radiant appearance.

The first half of the night is the most important for our beauty, because that's when we reach the greatest depth of sleep. Growth hormones are released. They are involved in almost all functions in our body, help build connective tissue and control enzyme production and cell renewal. Prolonged lack of sleep disrupts the natural recovery processes as the stress hormone cortisol is produced more. This promotes the breakdown of collagen, and the skin appears more irritated, tired and saggy. In addition, cortisol stimulates the oil and sebum production of the skin, which can lead to a blockage of the skin pores.
