How sleep wrinkles form
Sleep wrinkles are caused when your skin faces pressure or friction for long periods of time while you sleep. Picture it like this: If you sleep on your side or stomach, your face is pressed against the pillow.
This pressure can “wrinkle” your skin, like folding paper. When you wake up, these creases in your skin may at first look like temporary impressions from the pillow, but if you do this every night, they can gradually become permanent wrinkles.
Your skin is like elastic rubber – it can stretch and return to its original shape. However, it loses its ability to go back on so easily as you get older, especially if it’s constantly subjected to pressure or friction.
Therefore, sleeping positions and how long your skin is exposed to pressure can affect how quickly wrinkles appear on your face.
Different types of wrinkles and their characteristics
Mimic wrinkles
They are created when we express emotions such as laughter or frowning. Common ones include:
Wrinkles on the forehead: From raising an eyebrow.
Wrinkles around the eyes: These are called laugh lines.
Nose wrinkles: From smiling.
Wrinkles between the eyebrows: From frowning.
Wrinkles around the mouth: from laughing or smoking.
Sleep Wrinkles
They arise from prolonged pressure on the face while sleeping on your side or stomach. They are common:
On the face and forehead: from pressing the face against the pillow.
On the chin: If you sleep on your hands.
Around the eyes and on the neck: From improper position or pressure.
On the nose: When you sleep face down.
On the neck: When in a position that causes bending and pressure on the skin of the neck.
How to prevent wrinkles!
Beneficial results won’t happen overnight, but by consistently applying these strategies, you can significantly reduce the appearance of new wrinkles while you sleep and soften existing expression lines.
Take care of your skin:
Hydrated and nourished skin is more resistant to wrinkles. Use products that promote skin elasticity and regeneration.
