Some say that people, who work in night shift do not have to worry about the same problem as those, who work in day shift. But, our body naturally desires sleep at night and most night shift workers do not get effective sleep in the morning. In short, working all night lays additional stress on your body and skin making it tired and tired skin unhappy skin. Hence, follow some effective skin care tips to enliven your skin.
Follow CTM and Under Eye Cream:
You need to prepare your skin before going to work. Cleanse your face with your favourite face wash and use a toner to further cleanse your face. Before applying your regular ‘day time’ moisturizer, apply some excellent under-eye cream followed by day time moisturizer, as staying up all night can give you undesirable dark circles and puffy eyes. Make sure you apply your ‘night cream’ before going to sleep in the morning as the skin absorbs moisture much faster when we are sleeping. Always make sure you follow a good CTM regimen, before you begin work and when you are done with your work.
Take A Good Sleep:
A night of good sleep is vital for your body and skin, as during sleep our skin renews itself. Lack of sleep not only affects your look but even your skin, hair and nails. Make sure that is no interruption in your sleep by turning off your mobile phone and blocking out the daylight with heavy curtains.
Tackle Digestion Problem:
Digestion problems can lead to acne. So, it is very important to maintain good digestion. Our body takes six to eight hours to digest food. Try to get a gap of at least five hours, before going to bed. So, if you are planning on going to bed immediately when you reach home, then eat five hours before your shift is over. This way you can provide your body a proper time to digest food without interrupting your sleep.
Stay Hydrated:
Your body needs the same amount of water as it requires in the daytime, even if you are working at odd hours. Water is very essential for your skin and health. Try to drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water, per day. If you are suffering from obesity, then drink ice-cold water. Your body has to work harder to warm it up, leading your metabolism high. This trick will help you fight obesity and to keep you energized.
Take Short Walk:
During a break, if you get time, then try to get a short walk. This will trigger your body and remind it that it is work time. Your skin will stay healthy if it is exercised regularly.
Maintain a Healthy Diet :
Be sure to eat snacks that are full of vitamins such as nuts, fruits and vegetables. It is important to treat your body as you would during the daytime because you are doing the daytime activity at night. You are supposed to eat 6 teaspoons of sugar per day, so try to cut down on sugar in coffee or tea. Avoid packed beverages and health drinks, as they have an excess amount of sugar. High sugar intake can disturb collagen production leaving wrinkles. If you want to keep away from sleep during office hours, then drink lots of water.
Use Sunscreen:
The sun has risen, you are at work and you think there is no need to apply sunscreen. But, here you go wrong. Apply sunscreen early in the morning, when the sun comes out because the sun can still damage your skin through the window.
