“Your Skin Repairs While You Sleep” — and TCM Knew That All Along
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the hours between 11pm and 3am are sacred.
That’s when your body shifts into detox, reset, and repair mode.
While you sleep, your liver and gallbladder — the body's natural purifiers — go to work.
And because the liver is closely connected to skin health in TCM, poor sleep means dullness, breakouts, or slow healing.
But it’s not just about getting more sleep — it’s about getting the right kind of sleep.
In TCM, true skin recovery happens when you align with the body’s rhythm:
🌙 Sleep before 11pm
🌿 Keep your sleeping space calm and cool
🛌 Avoid eating late (so your liver isn’t overworked)
🐮 Moo Moo’s Take
You don’t need to chase a 10-step skincare routine.
Sometimes the best “anti-aging serum” is a good night’s sleep.
That’s why we don’t overload our balms with complicated actives.
Your skin knows what to do — especially when it gets the rest it needs.
🛏️ Gentle Reminder
Don’t scroll into midnight.
Wrap up your day with kindness.
Warm tea. Quiet thoughts. Dim lights.
