How does the wrong posture in sleep and the pillow spoil the skin? Tells lady.mail.ru.
What is the pillow effect
The first reason for the appearance of wrinkles is photoaging, that is, harm from the sun's rays. An intriguing fact, but by no means new - just recall how important it is to use products with SPF filters.
But the next reason for uninvited age-related changes is sleeping on a pillow. Dermatologists are sure that sleeping in an uncomfortable position with your face in a pillow creates as much trouble for your skin as the sun does. We put pressure on the face, and we do not realize it, which becomes a factor in the appearance of folds and deep wrinkles.
Choose a pillow
If possible, choose satin or silk for bedding. Cotton is, of course, good and pleasant, but such a material dries the skin a lot, literally imprinting your face into the pillow. And dryness is one of the steps towards the premature signs of aging. It is not only the pillow that is important, but also how you lie on it: it is advisable not to touch your face to the pillow during sleep, in other words, sleep on your back.
We agree that it is not so easy to accomplish what we want, especially since it concerns the unconscious part of our life. However, there are some useful tips on how to do this: for example, put pillows, buy a pillow with a special notch for your head, put one pillow under your head and one under your knees (this will automatically make your body not toss and turn at night).
Buy a sleep mask
A sleep mask is, firstly, a good means of sound sleep (it allows the brain not to concentrate on the light from a window or in a room and not to wake up ahead of time), and secondly, a great way to save part of the face from a direct collision with the pillow. You already know about the material - choose silk or satin.

Use collagen
Daily use of collagen creams can reduce the cushion effect. Do not forget to peel 2-3 times a week, you can use scrubs with microparticles that deeply cleanse and do not injure the skin.
Choose nourishing night creams
To delay the appearance of wrinkles, use dense nourishing creams with rose, shea butter and peptides.
