“Get your beauty sleep”… it’s a saying that has never really made sense, given how we all look when we first wake up. Well, now Lunalux is quite literally putting the beauty back into your sleep.
That’s right – you can boost your beauty routine without it taking up any of your time, all while you’re fast asleep.
This might sound too good to be true, but Lunalux’s smart textiles line for skin and hair means you can avoid developing acne and sleep wrinkles, as well as hair breakage occurring during the night.
How does it work?
Lunalux has created innovative new products that infuse hydrating ingredients – hyaluronic acid and argan oil – into silk pillowcases, eye masks and scrunchies.
Hyaluronic acid is popular due to its ability to bind around 1000x its weight in water. It is a common ingredient used in anti-ageing skincare and even in injectables, while argan oil is popular for improving the moisture and quality of your hair and skin. It contains essentially fatty acids and is abundant in Vitamin E.
How to boost your nighttime skincare routine
Did you know that our skin loses much more moisture during the night, compared to the daytime?
To address this problem, try the Lunalux pillowcase and eye mask. Due to the hydrating ingredients that are infused within the products, your skin will retain its moisture, which will ensure it keeps looking plump, youthful, and bright!
How to boost your nighttime haircare routine
If you constantly wake up to a frizzy bed head, which takes ages to tame using heat, then the Lunalux pillowcases and scrunchies are an absolute lifesaver.
Unlike regular cotton pillowcases, the silk fabric reduces friction on your hair. This means that you can reduce breakage, dryness, and split ends – waking up with anything but a bed head.
If you’re like me and have wavy / curly hair, the scrunchies ensure that your hair is left without creases or snags caused by friction.
The Aussie founder behind the innovative idea
Lunalux was founded by Sydney based businesswoman and mum Jenny Orenstein who set out to revolutionase the sleep industry due to a common complaint she often discusses with her friends.
With a vision to incorporate self-care and sleep with the pivotal point of difference being the use of smart technology is what sets Lunalux apart from other brands.
“Like so many busy and time poor parents, I found it difficult to look after my skin and hair needs as I did pre-motherhood” says Jenny.
“After waking one morning and looking like I had been through the tumble dryer with my hair everywhere and with dry and dehydrated skin, I set out to discover a new way of sleeping that truly put the beauty back into sleep.”
“With numerous other brands offering silk pillowcases and eye masks, I knew I wanted to bring something unique and innovative to the market. This led to the discovery of being able to infuse fabric with certain cosmeceuticals to enhance and take those benefits of silk one step further. We spend one third of our lives sleeping in bed and it’s about time we actually make our sleep experience a priority and one of self-care.”
Is It Worth It?
Having recovered from numerous health challenges through her life, including Anorexia Nervosa, Depression and Thyroid Cancer, Jenny has come to know first-hand how important it is to look after oneself and prioritise sleeping well, eating well and incorporating a healthy amount of exercise into one’s regime to deal with life’s ups and downs.
