A short sleeper is someone who can function during the day even with less sleep than the average person.

However, if you continue to have a lifestyle with insufficient sleep, you may notice dullness, dryness, and roughness of your skin.

Especially during busy periods, some people find that their skin can't recover quickly enough, resulting in makeup not applying as well.

This time, we'll introduce what short sleepers are, their characteristics, and how to deal with skin problems caused by lack of sleep.

1. What is a short sleeper?

1) People who can function with short sleep durations

A short sleeper is someone who experiences little daytime sleepiness and can function normally even with short sleep durations.

However, simply feeling tired due to insufficient sleep duration may not be the same as being a short sleeper.

Instead of forcing yourself to cut back on sleep, it's important to check in with your body and mind.

 

2) It may be different from sleep deprivation.

The term "short sleeper" sometimes refers to someone whose health remains stable even with short sleep durations.

On the other hand, if you're not getting enough sleep due to work, studying, or spending too much time on your smartphone, you're more likely to experience sleep deprivation.

If you're concerned about rough or dull skin, try reviewing your sleep quality and lifestyle.

 

3) It is also likely to be related to skin condition

If you have several days in a row with insufficient sleep, you may notice dry skin, dullness, and acne.

On days when you don't get enough sleep, your complexion may look dull, and fatigue around your eyes may become more noticeable.

When considering skincare, sleep is one of the important lifestyle habits.

2. Characteristics of short sleepers and their effects on the skin

1) Even if you feel fine during the day, your skin may show signs of fatigue.

One characteristic of short sleepers is that they can function during the day even with short sleep.

However, the skin is a part of the body that is easily affected by fatigue and dryness.

Even if you're physically healthy, you might be concerned about dull skin or a lack of firmness.

 

2) Prone to dullness and dryness

Lack of sleep can make your skin appear less moisturized.

If dryness persists, the skin's texture can become uneven, which can cause makeup to look cakey or uneven.

If your skin looks dull in the morning, be sure to moisturize thoroughly.

 

3) Eye fatigue is easily noticeable

On days when you don't get enough sleep, some people notice dullness and dryness around their eyes.

The skin around the eyes is thin, making it an area where signs of fatigue easily appear.

Be sure to moisturize gently without rubbing.

3. Skincare to keep in mind on days when you're sleep-deprived.

1) Moisturize thoroughly in the morning.

On days when you haven't gotten enough sleep, your skin may feel dry in the morning.

Don't stop at just toner; lock in moisture with lotion or cream.

Thoroughly moisturizing before applying makeup will help your base makeup blend more easily.

 

2) Avoid over-stimulating the skin.

On days when you haven't gotten enough sleep, your skin can feel more sensitive than usual.

Avoid using irritating treatments such as scrubs and strong peels.

When washing your face, it's best to avoid scrubbing and instead gently wash with foam.

 

3) Cleanse and moisturize thoroughly at night.

Even on busy days, avoid going to bed without removing your makeup and skin oils.

After cleansing, moisturize, focusing on areas prone to dryness such as the cheeks and around the eyes.

On days when your skin is tired, it's important to let it rest with a simple skincare routine.

4. Treatments you can consult about at a cosmetic dermatology clinic

1) Dullness and skin tone care

If you continue to be sleep-deprived, your skin may appear dull or you may notice a lack of brightness.

At a cosmetic dermatology clinic, you can consult about skin tone care tailored to your skin condition.

If home care alone is not enough, consider professional care.

 

2) Dryness and skin barrier care

If you're concerned about dryness or tightness, it's important to focus on skincare that supports the skin barrier.

If you're still experiencing dryness despite continuing moisturizing care, it's a good idea to have your skin condition checked at a cosmetic dermatology clinic.

Choosing skincare products that suit your skin type makes it easier to achieve skin that is less prone to fluctuations.

 

3) Eye area and firmness care

If you are concerned about dryness or lack of firmness around your eyes, you may consult us about eye care and skin firmness management.

If you're concerned about looking tired due to lack of sleep, it's also important to improve the overall condition of your skin.

Choose a skincare routine that suits your specific skin concerns and is gentle on your skin.
