Guide to the perfect sleep routine Silk accessories, relaxing pillow sprays and overnight skincare

Marilyn Monroe, what are you wearing to go to sleep? "Just two drops of Chanel N.5". Two icons, one of Hollywood and the other of the beauty case, have taught us a great truth: sleep is beauty. It is true for a perfume that pampers and at the same time makes you feel sensual, as well as for performing formulations on the youth of the face. If beauty were a moment of the day, in fact, it would be the night. Precisely at night, the dermis is more predisposed to the absorption of nutrients and, with them, it regenerates. So, once you lie down and turn off the light, mathematically also reduce the stress by making your face "work". After all, the infamous beauty sleep has been taught to us for decades by models who, to stay fresh, sleep at least eight hours a night and use targeted beauty allies to wake up fresh as roses. Then add the lockdown, which has increased stress, worries and, consequently, insomnia. Fortunately, beauty comes to the aid, both with fragrances that help sleep, and with performing skincare formulas.

When waking up? The complexion appears more even, relaxed and radiant. For those wishing to take care also from the inside, one evening a week the advice is to go to bed on an empty stomach, drinking only a detox herbal tea. A perfect "gymnastics" for the body because it makes the metabolism work harder, eliminating toxins and free radicals. Attention also to the pillow case. In the sleep phase, silk maintains the pH of the skin unchanged, thanks to its components similar to those of human epithelial tissues. Ideal for those suffering from acne and skin redness, it is the softest and most delicate fabric, also able to avoid rubbing of the hair and therefore to generate the electrostatic effect typical of the morning. Upon awakening, hair will be healthier and brighter and the skin fresh. As Francesca Cavicchi, founder of Francine Haircare, a brand born during the lockdown, says, “taking care of ourselves is essential, especially during the time we are experiencing. Our skin needs to be cuddles, loved".

Last but not least, among the ingredients to be used, choose retinoic acid, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles and dilated pores, the essential oils of blue tansy and chamomile which, rich in azulene, make the skin softer. Lavender, on the other hand, is the ad hoc fragrance to fall asleep like children. And much more, to be discovered in the gallery. What else can I say... good night!
