We all know sleep as the ‘beauty sleep’ for a very good reason. This is the time where the body has breaks for healing and skin is not excluded from that process of healing and renewal. However, the position you embrace to sleep can affect the looks of your skin in a big way. It has been found that position of sleep, the type of pillowcase you might be using or products which are applied on skin before going to bed can also cause formation of wrinkles. If you need to maintain healthy skin and prevent aging signs such as wrinkles, then the information below will be useful for you. 

  Sleep on Your Back 

 Many people acquire wrinkles in their sleep and one way to avoid this is through changing sleeping position. If you are a side or stomach sleeper you are statically probably sleeping lines and creases on your face that eventually become permanent wrinkles. In essence when you press your face into the pillow at night you apply pressure on the skin which breaks the collagen and elastin fiber thus leading to the unpleasant lines. 

 

 In order to remove frizz one should use a silk or satin pillowcase during their sleep. 

 The fabrics used in making the pillow cases you use in sleeping determine the skin appearance in the morning.

Another of the preventive tips about wrinkles formation during sleep is to raise the head a little higher. Lying flat on your back is bad because the fluid will then collect at the lowest point which could be your eyes causing puffiness and ultimately resulting in wrinkle formation. If you slightly raise your head you will prevent accumulation of fluids and the formation of lines and wrinkles on your face.
