Once upon a time, I was a great sleeper. I’m talking eight, nine, sometimes even 10 hours a night. Now? I call five hours of sound sleep a success. What I’ve learned: beauty sleep—despite the cliché—is a very real thing. A night without REM (of which, I have many these days) deprives my skin of its coveted rest and repair time, leading to dryness, puffiness, dullness, and some disturbingly dark circles.
I’ve tried just about everything to remedy my lack of sleep: white noise machines, melatonin gummies, silk eye masks, and even the lore of counting sheep. Same goes with my skin: de-puffing eye creams have been my saving grace, and I’m heavily reliant on brightening niacinamide serums. I didn’t expect the solution for both my concerns to come by way of the same product: Neuraé’s new Harmonie Sleeping Mask, which officially launches today, August 11.
