Our bodies depend on a good night’s sleep for rest and recovery from the stressors of the day. Because the skin is the largest organ of the human body, sleep is vital for healthy skin. Without regular, quality sleep, many people begin to notice an increase in fine lines, uneven pigmentation and reduced elasticity in their skin. Simply put, they look older than their actual years would indicate because lack of sleep weakens the skin’s ability to repair and rejuvenate itself. With this in mind, we’ve curated a list of five of the best products for fighting fatigue:
REN Clean Skincare Atlantic Kelp And Magnesium Anti-Fatigue Exfoliating Body Scrub
Many people only think of the face when considering the signs of fatigue, but your body can also appear dull and lacklustre when fatigued. This body scrub from REN Clean Skincare contains fresh sea salt and epsom salts, as well as Atlantic kelp extract and microalgae oil, which exfoliate the skin, encourage cell renewal and relax the muscles while the blend of essential oils de-stress your body and mind.
Decleor Jasmine Eye Cream
You don’t need to know much about skincare to know that the eyes are one of the first places that the signs of fatigue are apparent. This Jasmine eye cream from Decleor is an anti-fatigue, illuminating and anti-ageing eye cream to leave the skin luminous and radiant. With Jasmine Absolute, it fights against wrinkles and lack of radiance all day long. It also contains caffeine, vitamins B3 and CG and orange pigments to aid drainage, protect and brighten the eye area.
This Works Morning Expert CBD Booster + Co-Enzyme Q10
This Works have absolutely packed this skin booster with ingredients which brighten the complexion. As well as boasting a 1% CBD oil to fight the signs of fatigue, it also packs Co-Enzyme Q10, which is well-known for its ability to restore the skin’s glow. It can be used alone as an intensive application or mixed with a moisturiser for visibly smoother, brighter and more radiant skin.
Elemis Superfood Midnight Facial
Night creams are a fantastic ally against the signs of fatigue as they are usually a rich formula which has all night to work on your face. This Superfood Midnight Facial from Elemis is a balancing prebiotic gel-cream that works through the night to drench dull-looking skin in a cocoon of nourishing hydration. The cream contains Camu Camu, a well-known source of Vitamin C, and Cocoa Butter which contains Omega 6 and 9 Fatty Acids. It also contains Banana Flower Extract, offering hydrating and Prebiotic properties.
Medik8 Illuminating Eye Balm
Another product for the eyes, this illuminating balm is a multi-functional powerhouse against the signs of fatigue. It helps to visibly brighten and refresh tired eyes and minimises the appearance of puffiness and dark circles by combining soothing natural extracts with sheer, light-reflecting mineral pigments in a subtle colour match tint. It can be applied underneath or on top of makeup, leaving the eyes nourished, rejuvenated and visibly youthful.
