Sleep
You sleep at least 7 hours per night — your sleep habits are excellent! Several studies have shown that restorative sleep directly supports skin regeneration: research published in Clinical and Experimental Dermatology (2015) revealed that sleep deprivation impairs the skin’s barrier function and slows down its ability to heal. At night, your cells regenerate, oxygenate, and repair the micro-aggressions accumulated throughout the day.
Give them the best conditions by gently removing your makeup, cleansing with a suitable product, and applying a nourishing night cream. And if a short night slips into your week (it happens to everyone), think of Acerola — a tiny fruit containing 20 to 30 times more vitamin C than an orange — and make sure to stay well hydrated throughout the day to support your skin’s natural glow.
Nutrition
You eat healthily and cook a lot.
Your habits are ideal: a diet rich in colorful plant foods, good fats (avocado, nuts, olive oil), and high-quality proteins is one of the best allies for balanced skin. Every color on your plate brings its own set of antioxidants: carotenoids from carrots and sweet potatoes enhance radiance, while polyphenols from berries help protect against oxidative stress.
A study published in Nutrients (2021) confirms that plant diversity in the diet is directly correlated with better skin health.
Keep exploring variety, but make sure pleasure remains a key ingredient: cooking and enjoying your meals mindfully nourishes your skin with serenity as much as with nutrients.
