When you don't have enough sleep blood vessels dilate creating dark circles around the eyes, collagen production slows causing the skin to look dull, inflammation increases in the body which can affect the immune system and your skin can't repair itself, leading to premature aging.
More sleep, however, can improve your skin's natural glow, elasticity, and transparency.
