It comes down to what happens in your body when you drift off. Your Body Pumps Out Healing Hormones. You Wake Up Less Puffy You’ll Smile More. While you’re sleeping, your body—and your skin—are hard at work healing themselves. During the deeper phases of sleep, your body produces growth hormone, which repairs daily damage from things like sun exposure and pollution and creates new cells so you wake up looking brighter, fresher, and more vibrant. That’s why bedtime can be a great time to apply a hardworking  night cream  to accelerate the restorative process.
