The skin needs rest, just like our body. Sleep is the restorative period for the body and skin and essential for their wellbeing. During our sleep, the skin produces human growth hormone that repairs and regenerates cells, maintaining the skin's health. Therefore, when we are sleep deprived, our skin looks tired and dull. Sleep deprivation deteriorates the skin's health and accelerates its sagging process, and it is most prominent through our eyes. So, our body and skin need to take rest to maintain health.
