The "Morning Shed": Torture or Selfcare?
If you’ve spent any time on social media lately, you’ve probably seen the term “morning shed.”
It refers to removing all the overnight skincare and accessories people sleep in, think:
• occlusive skincare layers
• eye patches and lip masks
• hair bonnets or wraps
• mouth tape, chin straps (which is a whole other conversation), or facial compression tools, sometimes all three
The idea is that you “shed” it all in the morning to reveal rested, glowing skin.
At what point does this support restful sleep… and at what point does it become low-grade torture while you sleep? 😅
Have you tried this trend (or parts of it)? Do you see any legitimate benefits?
