Peach with skins served up, and rest of refreshment? (6,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beauty sleep

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'rest of refreshment?' is the definition.
'beauty sleep' can be an answer for 'rest' (I have seen 'Refreshing rest' mean 'beauty sleep' so perhaps 'rest' could also mean 'beauty sleep'). I am unsure of the 'of refreshment?' bit.

'peach with skins served up' is the wordplay.
'peach' becomes 'beauty' (both can mean an excellent example of something).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'skins' becomes 'peels' ('peel' can be a synonym of 'skin').
'served up' is a reversal indicator (in a down clue, going upwards).
'peels' in reverse letter order is 'sleep'.
'beauty'+'sleep'='BEAUTY-SLEEP'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beauty sleep that I've seen before include "What we all need at night to look our best" , "Restorative rest" , "Rest needed to keep one looking young?" , "Refreshing rest" , "Forty winks for those wanting to look good" .)
