4. Face Looks Older
Lack of sleep makes skin look older and duller and causes dark circles under the eye. According to a study from Stockholm, people who lack sleep look older than their actual age because their faces look tired. While lack of sleep, the body releases more cortisone hormones that break up skin collagen, which is why the face looks duller and older. If collagen-making works as it should, skin looks smooth, spongy, and full.
