Here are some few tips in maintaining a glowing skin

Research has shown that poor sleep quality can contribute to increased signs of skin aging (fine lines and wrinkles) and compromised skin barrier function because naturally, overnight the skin repairs itself, meaning it removes toxins, repairs cell and DNA damage caused by the environment, replaces aging cells, and creates new ones.
