Napping Takes Wellness to the Next Level for Beautiful Skin
“Don’t forget to get your beauty sleep,” your mom always reminded you. But let’s face it: most of us struggle to get enough sleep. Not only do we lead busy lives at home and at work, but we must handle the weight of external issues beyond our control like Covid. It can be overwhelming and cut into our time to relax, which not only affects the mind but how we look too.
If you want to know how someone is feeling, look at their skin. Over time, chronic stress antagonizes the main stress hormone, cortisol. According to the Academy of Dermatology Associates, this can cause skin inflammation, resulting in acne or worsening conditions like eczema, rosacea and atopic dermatitis. It creates a drop in collagen, developing wrinkles.
Increased attention on wellness casts the spotlight onto this direct correlation between how we feel emotionally and our skin’s appearance, a trend called “NeuroGlow.” NeuroGlow addresses a holistic approach to beauty by caring for both the mind and the skin. An extension of this, psychodermatology, examines how well-being impacts skin health by reviewing a person’s lifestyle, including sleep patterns.
Staying steps ahead, we at Moonstone have solutions that link care to the mind and skin. We have always tapped into the power of holistic wellness, as presented previously in blogs on our body treatments and supplements. It is the core to our skin care practice.
Biomat Napping Room Achieves a Healthy Mindset
At Moonstone, we provide new, optimal solutions to heal the mind that will positively impact skin care. We have seen the benefits of sleep and sensory and created the first of its kind Napping Room, an answer to NeuroGlow.
Our Napping Room is an oasis of rejuvenation entered into before or after experiencing the stress-relieving sense of touch from a facial. It is designed to be conducive for a power nap or meditation. It can also be a stand-alone service leading into or concluding a busy day, without any distractions.
According to Dr. Sara Mednick, a psychologist at the University of California, Riverside, a 90-minute nap can provide the same benefits as an 8-hour slumber. Other studies show that even a 10-minute power nap can go a long way. Ultimately, your skin and mind wear the benefits. Skin cells can repair damage from stress and improve circulation, resulting in glowing skin. Napping also stimulates memory and cognitive performance.
To help you sleep, or meditate, our Napping Room creates a peaceful atmosphere with the unique Biomat light therapy, as well as a soundscape and/or aromatherapy.
The Biomat is an advanced therapeutic tool offering infrared treatments for plenty of benefits. It combines Far Infrared Rays and Negative ions from nature to activate organic healing in the body. This will optimize your relaxation process, calm inflammation, deepen sleep, reduce pain and lessen the negative toll that stress takes on the body and mind.
Taking advantage of these tools to nap or to meditate can lift your mood and boost melatonin levels for a restful night’s sleep. And catching those ZZ’s can lead to achieving luminous skin and a balanced mindset, bringing a whole new meaning to “beauty sleep.”
