Now you know that the term "beauty sleep" is no myth!

A latest finding has revealed that lack of good night sleep can make you look ugly, or shall we say weary with red, puffy eyes, dark circles, wrinkles, and droopier eyelids. Scary, isn't it! And no, no amount of splashing, masking, exfoliating and moisturizing your skin can salvage the damage done.

"Since faces contain a lot of information on which humans base their interactions with each other, how fatigued a person appears may affect how others behave toward them," study researcher Tina Sundelin, M.Sc., a doctoral student in the department of psychology at Stockholm University in Sweden, said in a statement. "This is relevant not only for private social interactions, but also official ones such as with health care professionals and in public safety."

People who do not get enough shut-eye are prone to dark-circles and have paler skin and droopier mouth, reveals the study. Not a pretty sight for sure!
