Get Your Beauty Rest!

Unsurprisingly, we’ve heard that a lack of sleep can reduce your ability to stay focused and alert throughout the day. But the effects of insufficient rest are not limited to your mental abilities. It can also affect your appearance. I am always in search of ways to keep a youthful glow, so I sat down with Terri Marino, Maui’s skin care expert and Rodan+Fields Independent consultant, to get the lowdown on how I could make the most of my beauty sleep.

“Beauty rest isn’t just a saying. Each night our skin cells repair themselves. A good night of sleep helps us look bright and refreshed, while a restless night results in dark circles under our eyes and a dull, gray complexion.” As a new mother with inconsistent sleep patterns, I have experienced this first hand.

I asked Terri what she recommended for waking up on the dazzling side of the bed. She told me, “A comfortable bed and pillow is important to a good night of sleep. If you are a side or belly sleeper, you can purchase a special pillow that will help you sleep on your back in order to avoid “sleep crush,” facial lines that are often mistaken for wrinkles. When we sleep on our side or face, the weight of our body along with gravity can cause diagonal lines across the forehead from the lower eyelid to the bottom of the nose and through the lip and chin.”

At Maui Bed Store Kihei and Lahaina, we offer factory-direct pricing on all of our in-stock Maui mattresses and Maui pillows.

Enjoy your beauty sleep!
