We all know the dangers of poor sleep. Here's what it does to your skin
This story is part of the June 1 edition of Sunday Life. See all 14 stories. It's well known that an unsettled night's sleep can lead to lacklustre skin. When you sleep, skin goes into repair mode, so if your sleep patterns are erratic it will show on your face the next day. Bad sleep affects collagen production, which is essential for maintaining skin hydration and elasticity, and a lack of sleep can cause inflammation and a compromised skin barrier. Face-planting into your pillow can also leave creases on your skin. 'Bad sleep is often due to stress, which has a significant impact on skin, and chronic sleep restriction is much worse than a short-term sleep issue,' says Sydney dermatologist Dr Ritu Gupta. She says poor sleep leads to collagen breaking down and decreased skin-barrier function, which means increased susceptibility to eczema, irritation and infection. 'Collagen breakdown accelerates the ageing process, and a lack of sleep also decreases the lipids in the skin, which leads to it sagging.' So how much sleep is enough? The general rule of thumb is eight hours. Here are a few tips to help your skin get a good night's sleep. Elevate your head by sleeping on two pillows, ideally in silk pillowcases such as those from Slip ($115). Elevation decreases facial swelling and improves blood flow and lymphatic drainage, says Gupta. 'Some extension of the neck means that finally our 'tech necks' can have a much-needed rest. Having your neck constantly flexed by looking at a phone screen creates horizontal lines. Sleeping slightly elevated means a reprieve from that position.' Loading If you're able to sleep on your back, this helps reduce the chest and face wrinkles that can occur if you are a side or tummy sleeper. Try an Orthopaedic cervical pillow ($80, from Ergonomist) that cradles your neck, keeping it properly aligned with your head and shoulders. This helps reduce pressure on the neck muscles. Night creams, with their rich, hydrating ingredients to plump, firm and brighten, are bedtime essentials. An oldie but goodie is Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair ($199) with tripeptide-32, hyaluronic acid and polyglutamic acid. Peptides serve as messengers between skin cells to encourage them to produce more collagen, accelerating wound healing and protecting the skin barrier. For more nighttime magic, we like Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Pro+ Night Cream ($33). And for eyes, try Medik8 Advanced Night Eye ($96), which has great de-puffing powers, boosts radiance and targets dark circles. (As an added bonus, this cream also works like a charm under make-up.) For lips, we love Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask ($25).

Paulina Porizkova, 59, is 'completely and utterly fangirling' over this viral anti-aging treatment
I'm a simple girl. If a supermodel recommends an anti-aging beauty product, I pay attention. If the supermodel has used said product for 35 years, well, I'm adding it to my cart. As an Estée Lauder global ambassador, model Paulina Porizkova may have skin in the game to sing the praises of Estée Lauder products. Still, considering she's used its famous Advanced Night Repair Serum since the '80s, I'm inclined to believe her. Quick shop: Paulina Porizkova's beauty must haves In a video posted to Instagram, the 59-year-old model — who recently reunited with Estée Lauder after being the brand's spokesperson in the '80s — shared her "real nighttime routine," featuring several Estée Lauder bestsellers. Shop the Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex in four sizes: 20 mL, 30 mL, 50 mL and 115 mL. "This is my real nighttime routine, every night," she captioned the post. "Advanced Night Repair, it's the one thing I will be going to bed with — that and my boyfriend," a bare-faced Porizkova tells the camera. "35 years ago, I used to use it back then, too." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Paulina Porizkova (@paulinaporizkov) The Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex, one of Estée Lauder's all-time bestselling products, is a deep- and fast-penetrating face serum designed to visibly reduce several signs of aging and promote a smoother, younger and more radiant look. "I used it when I was younger and didn't even need it," she told the brand. "Here I am using it still, and now I can truly see a difference." In the video, Porizkova follows up the cult-favourite anti-aging serum with her "current favourite" Estée Lauder product, the Advanced Night Repair Overnight Treatment. This overnight treatment mask is dermatologist-tested and non-comedogenic, so it won't clog pores or cause breakouts. "You wake up, and you might not feel bouncy, but your skin does," she says. "Now, the Advanced Night Repair Overnight Treatment will make you look like you had a perfect overnight sleep, even if you didn't." The Overnight Skin Treatment is a breathable balm designed to support barrier recovery and visibly recharge your skin with intense moisture. "It helps skin look like it got two nights of sleep in one," according to the brand. In another interview, the Czech-born supermodel called the overnight treatment "one of the most amazing things [she has] ever put on [her] face." "I am completely and utterly fangirling over [it]," she said. "It really does make you look like you got a great night's sleep. It is mind-blowing." From Estée Lauder's Advanced Night Repair Overnight Treatment to the Jones Road Miracle Balm, here are five mature skin essentials Porizkova swears by. "Advanced Night Repair, it's the one thing I will be going to bed with — that and my boyfriend," Paulina Porizkova said in an Instagram video. "35 years ago, I used to use it back then, too." In an Instagram video, Porizkova called "good old Pond's Cold Cream" her "go-to to get all the makeup off" at night. "You wake up, and you might not feel bouncy, but your skin does," the Czech-born supermodel said. "Now, the Advanced Night Repair Overnight Treatment will make you look like you had a perfect overnight sleep, even if you didn't." It's "one of the most amazing things I ever put on my face." In an Instagram post, Porizkova calls the Jones Road Miracle Balm an "oldie but goodie" in her makeup arsenal, stating that she "loves it so much." She claims it's "really wonderful for older (and somewhat dry) skin." 'This has become my total go-to for base...," the Czech-born model said on Instagram. "It feels really really good on… it goes on sort of like a serum and sort of like a foundation... It doesn't feel like you're wearing foundation or makeup, really. It just makes your skin feel and look nice, it doesn't cover too much, it's quite sheer… it just kind of evens everything out."
