Sleep-wrinkles are lines and creases that develop on the skin as a result of repetitive pressure and compression during sleep.
Unlike expression lines or lines caused by ageing, sleep-lines are specifically linked to sleeping positions and the forces exerted on facial skin during sleep. They are often more pronounced on the face, neck and chest areas.
One effective way to prevent sleep wrinkles is by using an anti-wrinkle pillow, specifically designed to minimize facial contact and reduce pressure on declicate skin. These pillows are contoured to support the head and neck while keeping the face elevated and off the pillow surface.
Additionally, when chosing the best pillow for back sleeping, it is important it provides adequate support and promotes spinal alignment.
By incorporating these measures into your sleep routine, you can help reduce the formation of sleep wrinkles and maintain smoother, more youthful-looking skin over time.

According to leading dermatologists, when the skin is not in direct contact with the pillow during sleep, the pores are kept free and this helps avoid spreading bacteria from one area to another.
