We all have a favorite position for sleeping… But maybe yours is not the right one and is accelerating the appearance of your wrinkles. Explanations.
Sleep is essential for the proper functioning of the body but it also plays a major role in the appearance of the skin. A bad sleeping habit would have consequences on the premature aging of the skin. In question ? The position. Sleeping on the stomach and on the side would contribute to the appearance of wrinkles on the face.
Why should you avoid sleeping on your stomach and on your side?
If there is one way of sleeping that has the power to accentuate the aging of the skin, it is the lateral position. Just like the one on the stomach, it exercises continuous pressure between the skin and the pillowcase which promotes the degradation of collagen, and therefore the appearance of wrinkles on the chest, neck and face. In any case, this is what surgeon Frédéric Lange says on his Instagram account.
Even if they are not the main cause of the appearance of wrinkles, these two sleeping positions are largely involved. In other words, you can use all possible and imaginable creams and have no results!
What is the best position to avoid wrinkles?
Still according to Dr. Lange, the sleeping position that guarantees a fresh face on waking is the on the back. This way there is no pressure on the skin and it can regenerate as it should. It is equally important to get 7-8 hours of sleep per night, invest in a specific cushion, opt for a silk or satin pillowcase and ensure that the environment is cool and well ventilated. . Your skin can only thank you for this anti-aging routine.
