While sleep deprivation means less collagen production, it also meansmorecortisol, better known as the stress hormone.
Dr. Engelman says that higher cortisol can cause inflammation and weaken the skin barrier.

What types of skin changes can arise as a result of sleep issues?
The decreased circulation can mean fluid retention or poor lymphatic drainage, says Dr. Engelman.
Poor sleep can also trigger or exacerbate various commonskin conditions.
So… how can you fix it?
Supplements likemagnesiumor melatonin can be helpful, as they work to calm the nervous system, says Dr. Engelman.
Additionally, non-caffeinated teas with herbs such as chamomile or lavender may encourage relaxation.
(As always, you should check in with your doctor before starting any new supplement routines.)
