Sleep & skin health have a symbiotic relationship. π It's more than just looking tired after a bad night of sleep. π₯± Powered by your circadian rhythm, your skin's repair cycle happens overnight. π When you miss out on good quality sleep, you also miss out on optimal DNA repair activity in the skin. π β

Melatonin plays a huge role in these processes. Not only is melatonin responsible for regulating your sleep-wake cycle π (helping start and sustain night sleep), but it's also believed to be *the* most effective lipophilic antioxidant - way more potent than vitamins C and E. Lipophilic antioxidants are readily absorbed by your skin and protect against UV light radiation and free radicals, which visibly advance skin aging. β

Your body makes melatonin in your brain and in your skin, but as you age, it makes less and less. π Plus, lifestyle factors can negatively impact melatonin production & release, like consuming caffeine βοΈ, screentime at nightπ±π», and even light pollution π(outdoor artificial light). For so many people, eliminating all of these factors is impossible. That's why we made Mella. π©βπ¬β
