If too little sleep is a problem, then why is extra sleep a terrible solution?

Stress
This is possibly the No. 1 influencing factor for premature aging. Fine lines and wrinkles are also referred to as worry lines. Stress doesn’t just make you anxious, it releases a toxic hormone into your body, ageing your skin. De-stress using aromatherapy calms the mind and body. Give yourself a 5- to 10-minute face massage which relaxes your skin muscles, exercise regularly, or meditate weekly.
Lack of Sleep
You need at least seven to eight hours to let your skin cells renew overnight. When you don’t get enough rest, it can take a toll on your skin, causing it to be dull and dry, leading to premature aging. A lack of sleep also causes you to have dark circles around your eyes, making you look older. Set yourself a sleep regime to allow your skin to heal itself.
