TikTok till midnight, Snapchat on your way to class, Netflix binging… we get it. All that screen time + late nights + not enough sleep = skin paying the price. From dark circles to breakouts, tired skin to dullness, it’s all connected. Here’s how to make small changes (that actually work) so your skin looks better and you feel better—with help from your Facely kit.
Reduced skin repair: Sleep is when your body (and skin) does a lot of its “fix up” work. If you’re not sleeping enough, that repair is weak.
Glowing vs Dull: Without sleep, blood flow slows, cell turnover drops. Skin can look sallow, tired, eyes puffy.
Hormones & Breakouts: Being tired stresses your body, which can increase cortisol, which can lead to more oil production → more breakouts.
Blue Light Exposure: Some say screens contribute to oxidative stress on the skin. Might increase pigmentation, trigger sensitivity. Even if science isn’t totally settled, reducing exposure helps.
Try to aim for 7-9 hours Sleep: consistent bedtimes help.
Reduce screen time at least 30 mins before bed: dim the screens, use night mode / blue-light filters.
Clean your phone, pillowcase etc often — these carry bacteria, oils that touch your face.
Stay hydrated, eat decent, avoid late heavy food/snacks that may affect skin.
Use a nighttime routine that helps skin repair while you sleep.
Here are products that pair well with habits to support skin:
The Night Shift Moisturiser – Use nightly. It helps calm and heal, so if your skin’s irritated from late nights, screens, or makeup build-up, this comes in handy. Facely
Cool as a Cucumber Eye Gel – For those under-eye moments: puffiness, dark circles, tired-looking eyes. Helps cool and soothe. (Lovely after a late-night scroll sesh.) Facely
Squeaky Clean Cleanser – Always wash off makeup/sunscreen or grime before bed. Doesn’t leave skin feeling tight. Facely
Facely Cleaning Cloth – Great for gently wiping off without harsh rubbing. Soft, reusable, gets rid of that layer of dust/oil that builds up overnight. Facely
Facely the Day SPF 50 UVA Moisturiser – Yes in the day! Even if you stayed up late, protect your skin from UV. Also helps reduce dark marks from breakouts. Facely
Here’s a simple nightly routine:
Cleanse – Use cleanser (like Squeaky Clean) to remove dirt / makeup / sunscreen.
Optional mask or spot treatment – if you feel a breakout coming, or skin feels overloaded. Clay mask once or twice a week helps.
Eye gel – dab a little under eyes, especially if tired.
Moisturise – with The Night Shift or something richer if skin is dry.
Sleep + “Screen down” time – try to make your bedroom screen-light free or dim.
You don’t have to totally cut out TikTok or Netflix or your phone before bed forever—but small changes stack up. Good skincare + good sleep = skin that looks brighter, feels less stressed, breaks out less. With the right products and little tweaks, you’ll see a difference. Facely’s here to back you up whenever you wake up in daylight (or stay up late around a screen).
