| | March 11, 2026 |  | | | | | | | | Morning! We take sleep seriously at mindbodygreen. As your primary recovery period—when systems throughout the body are able to repair from the previous day and regenerate in preparation for the day ahead—it's critical to get enough of it.
That's why we're spending all week long sharing our best sleep content across all our channels, including social, newsletters, and articles. In this newsletter, I'm sharing my all-time favorite articles about the importance of beauty sleep. Check them out below.
Forward this to anyone who might find it interesting! | | xx take care of yourself,

mindbodygreen beauty director | | | | | What's your unique skin aging style? How we look as we age is a complex interaction between all layers of the face. Of course, there are surface-level changes (dark spots or rougher texture), but the structure of the face shifts too, from bone and fat loss to collagen decline.
Taken together, these changes usually fall under three overarching categories—or "the three aging styles" as coined by board-certified dermatologist Ava Shamban, M.D. - The wrinkler: Wrinkles are a natural part of the face, but the ones we are focusing on are deep, ever-present static lines that stick around when the face is at rest.
- Use smoothing or plumping topicals like AHAs, peptides, and hyaluronic acid
- Protect the skin from damage through SPF, antioxidants, and lifestyle changes
- Try in-office treatments like resurfacing lasers or PRP
- The sinker: Volume loss is one of the most overlooked signs of aging. As bone, muscle, and fat diminish, the face can look flatter and more hollow.
- Prioritize bone health through nutrition, including vitamin D, calcium, and creatine
- Try muscle toning and sculpting through microcurrent
- The sagger: Sagging comes down to structural decline. As collagen and elastin break down, skin loses its firmness and starts to drift downward with less of that natural "snap back."
- Use retinol to upregulate collagen production
- Eat collagen-building nutrients, like amino acids and vitamin C
- Try collagen restructuring treatments like radiofrequency microneedling
Most of us aren't just one type—we're a mix. Figure out what elements show up for you, then tailor your routine to match.
+Aging in style | | | | | | PRESENTED BY | |  | | 7 natural oils that target stretch marks, sagging skin & fine lines | |  | | A woman's body, especially the skin, goes through a lot over time—from hormone and weight fluctuations to life changes like motherhood. Collagen production slows. Elasticity softens. Stretch marks deepen. Areas like the thighs, stomach, chest, and arms begin to feel less resilient. Areas many women quietly worry about.
Besque is a skin care brand built by women who understand that mature skin doesn't need correction, it just needs nourishment. Rooted in natural ingredients and simple formulations, their products work in harmony with the body.
Just look at their Magic Body Oil, made with seven cold-pressed plant oils, specifically selected for the needs of mature skin: - Softening sweet almond oil smoothes rough texture
- Firming evening rose primrose oil addresses sagging skin
- Renewing rosehip oil encourages cellular regeneration

I love knowing that the natural, cold-pressed plant oils are nurturing my skin, protecting it from damage, and supporting its appearance, which is especially top of mind as I get older. | | | | | | | | | Dew Tell: Collagen production starts here You're a reader of this newsletter, so I'm going to assume you appreciate how important collagen is for skin firmness, structure, and long-term health.
I often give advice on how to support collagen production holistically—and don't worry, I'll continue to.
Part of that conversation needs to focus on mitochondrial health, says triple board-certified dermatologist Mamina Turemgao, M.D.: "We focus so much on collagen building, but declining mitochondrial energy means declining repair and collagen production. So supporting the mitochondria is a major frontier in healthy aging."
Essentially, healthy mitochondria lay the foundation for collagen production, and in doing so, "it paves the way for true long-term skin health," she told mindbodygreen exclusively.
