Elle Macpherson: Beauty Sleep
Supermodel Elle MacPherson knows a thing or two about how to look her best, but the fashion icon and entrepreneur claims that one of the most important beauty tricks in the book is a good night's sleep. "I have learned to be a better sleeper in recent years and am a solid seven-hours-a-night girl now," she wrote in her regular column for Get The Gloss earlier this month. "We need our beauty sleep, it's a scientific fact." She goes on to point out that sleep is particularly important for a glowing complexion, saying: "During deep sleep, the skin's metabolic rate speeds up, which helps with repair." To relax her mind before bed and make it easier to drift off, Macpherson makes a pot of ‘Sleep Well Calming Tea' from her own Welleco brand, and sprays ‘Sleep Welle Calming Mist' on her pillow.
