Fact 1

For attractive skin, washing away dirt and oil is just the first step.

The difference between clean skin and attractive skin

If you want clear, attractive skin, washing away dirt and oil is just the first step.
Washing your face cannot get rid of buildup and dullness, which makes you look tired, ages you and can even make your skin look dirty.

Fact 2

Stress dulls your skin.

What causes stagnation and dullness in the skin?

The stress hormone cortisol impedes the secretion of growth hormone, which makes skin look attractive.
Stress narrows the capillaries, making it harder to deliver the nutrients and moisture the skin needs. This causes the stratum corneum to become thinner, and it is less able to retain moisture as a result. Cell turnover is disrupted when the stratum corneum is dry, causing dead skin to build up and exacerbating dullness.

Fact 3

Sleeping well leads to attractive skin.

The link between sleep and attractive skin

The growth hormone that makes your skin look attractive is secreted when your body and mind are in a deep sleep. This hormone helps to grow, repair and maintain all of the organs and tissues in the body and promotes healthy metabolism. It repairs damage that occurs throughout the day and influences how your skin will look in the morning.
Cortisol, meanwhile, is secreted when you are under excessive stress. Too much stress can block the secretion of growth hormone.

Fact 4

Fragrances help you sleep well.

The link between fragrances and sleep quality.

Scientists have reported a strong connection between fragrances and the deep sleep in which growth hormone is released.
In one experiment, around half of hospitalized patients who tried aromatherapy slept better, even though both they and the control patients received sufficient clinical medication. In a clinical trial where subject brain waves were measured while they slept, subjects fell into a deep sleep faster with cedarwood essential oil in a humidifier.
Some of the oils used in aromatherapy have also been proven to reduce the stress hormone cortisol.
