So, you probably already know that taking melatonin orally helps you sleep. But, studies show that melatonin’s benefits extend far beyond just sleep!
Melatonin is a hormone your body produces that helps synchronize your circadian rhythm, your internal clock that tells your body when to wake up and when to sleep. This is why melatonin is often called the “sleep hormone.” But, melatonin also plays a critical role in skin and hair health.
When you ingest melatonin, it works quickly to help you fall asleep faster, wake fewer times in the night, and wake up feeling refreshed, but it barely makes it to the skin because it degrades in your liver before it can get there.
When you use melatonin topically, it protects against environmental stressors, restores your circadian rhythm, supports skin barrier function, delivers antioxidants, helps your skin better heal itself during your body’s nightly repair cycle, and reverses signs of premature aging.
Melatonin works naturally with your body to build reservoirs in the skin’s surface to provide the most potent restoration. And, because your body naturally releases its melatonin reserves at night, topical melatonin also helps you get better sleep, just like when you ingest it, but without daytime drowsiness.
And that’s why you need Mella!
