STOP SOCIAL JETLAG IN ITS TRACKS

02 Jul 2020

Ever feel like you have just stepped off a plane from a different time zone, even if you’ve been at work all week? There’s a name for that: social jetlag.

This inexplicable fatigue is due to lack of sleep during the week as a result of modern living, such as waking up unnaturally early to fit in a yoga class before work or scrolling endlessly through Instagram late at night. Sound familiar?

This disruption in your beauty sleep cycle can have a detrimental effect on your skin health and appearance, leaving your complexion looking dull and lacklustre.

Get your rest schedule back on track with these helpful tips from our ELEMIS Co-Founder, Noella Gabriel.

1. Instill a digital sunset. Turn off your electronic devices and limit blue light exposure 2 hours before bedtime.


2. Keep a regular sleep schedule with a consistent bedtime and wake up time, even on the weekends.


3. Limit your intake of stimulants—such as caffeine—in the evening.


4. Stay active. Exercise during the day is proven to decrease the time it takes to fall asleep.
