Description
The skin rejuvenation effects of a good night’s sleep are mediated by the broad and extensive antioxidant properties of the hormone melatonin. Melatonin secretion naturally declines with age, increasing the likelihood of sleep debt that can affect the skin’s ability to bounce back from external assaults, including effects of UV damage. Topical melatonin has been shown to penetrate the stratum corneum and accumulate, playing a vital role in initiating nightly rejuvenation and renewal.
