I dare to suggest that marks from the pillow remain on the face - if the pillow is feather and soft.
If you are concerned about this and you observe such “prints” quite often, then you need to change the pillow and choose one with a holofiber filler, for example, or even get an orthopedic pillow.
But if this still happens and in the morning you need to quickly get rid of the “wrinkled face” effect, then immediately wash your face with cool water and repeat this procedure every two to three minutes, or best of all, take an invigorating shower.
You can also speed up the disappearance of wrinkles on the face by using a special cream externally (on the face). I know firsthand that gently massaging your face with your fingers will remove all the unevenness from it quite quickly.
Many people have probably experienced that after sleep, the face is a little rumpled, so to speak, there are traces of a pillow on the face. For that, to quickly get rid of pillow marks on your face, because as a rule, you need to run to work, you need to listen to the following recommendations.
Firstly, Alternating washing with water, sometimes cold, sometimes warm, and repeat this several times, and then rub a little, massaging the face so that there is blood flow, helps and tones the skin of the face very well.
Secondly, Before you go to bed, try to limit your intake of liquids.
Third, the pillow should be comfortable, ideally orthopedic and the sleeping position, preferably on the back, then the pillow will not leave marks on your face.
Such changes on the face in the morning can be interpreted as facial pastiness.
In this case, there may be marks from the pillow, scars and buttons not only on the cheeks, but also on the forehead, eyelids and chin.
If in the morning after sleep there are traces of the folds of the pillow on your face, then you need to take measures regarding:
- To the pillow. Change the pillow, possibly size, filling. You can buy an orthopedic pillow. Nowadays, even more so, you can choose in salons, lying on their beds.
- Your sleeping position may be uncomfortable. especially for problems with osteochondrosis of the cervical and thoracic spine.
- Limit fluid intake before bed. You will have a restful sleep, otherwise you will also have to empty your bladder. In general, you should limit yourself to eating salty foods (salinity, fish, especially beer with dry fish).
- For some, the peculiarity is the disruption or weakening of lymphatic drainage from the orbit of the eyes and the entire facial skull. During the day we make thousands of blinking movements, the lymph spreads through its ducts and the swelling of the face decreases.
- Facial pastiness, especially after sleep, often occurs with AIT (autoimmune thyroiditis) with reduced thyroid function - hypothyroidism. Nowadays, this applies not only to women. In men, this pathology is becoming more common.
The most accessible and simplest: wash with cold water or alternate contrast wash within 5 - 10 minutes. Place two bowls/basins and wash. Perfectly tones the skin and reduces facial swelling. Do massage movements over the face, especially in places of “bruises”, pat, rub to increase blood flow.
It's not just how much sleep you get, but also how you sleep.
Everyone knows that healthy sleep not only gives energy and restores strength, but also affects our appearance. Therefore, many people monitor the number of hours spent in sleep, but they often miss one point: it is important not only how much you sleep, but also How Are you sleeping now. This is what we will talk about today.
When we wake up in the morning, the first thing we see is our reflection in the mirror. If you have noticed that sometimes your face looks wrinkled or that some wrinkles get worse after sleep, then this article is especially relevant for you. There are two main factors that provoke the formation of wrinkles during sleep and create the effect of a rumpled face.
- The position in which you sleep on the pillow. Today, stores offer a wide variety of pillows, the choice of which is a separate issue. But whatever your ideal pillow is, it's important to make sure you sleep in the right position without negatively affecting your face.
- Sleeping on your back. The best way to benefit your face is to sleep on your back. In this case, the face is not compressed by the pillow, but remains smooth and straightened. In addition, under the influence of gravity, the face seems to be pulled back towards the ears - let's call it a natural lifting effect.
- Sleeping with your face in the pillow. If you are used to sleeping with your face in your pillow, then in the morning your face will hardly look rested and toned. If the issue of maintaining youth is important to you, my advice as a facial yoga trainer is to unlearn this habit.
- Sleeping on your side. If you prefer to sleep on your side, make sure that your face is not pressed or compressed by the pillow. To do this, you need to make sure that you are not lying on your cheek, but on your ear. If this condition is met, you can be sure that in the morning your face will have a rested look.
So, we have decided in what position you need to sleep so that your face looks fresh and rested in the morning. Now let's look at the second factor that provokes the formation of wrinkles during sleep.
Muscle spasms during sleep. In a dream, some of us, without noticing it, may wince, compress our lips or teeth, or strain our eyes, which is caused by spasms of the facial muscles. For example, if someone unconsciously moves or raises their eyebrows in a dream, this leads to the appearance of wrinkles between the eyebrows and on the forehead. Others may experience clenching of the lips, which causes the formation of nasolabial folds. Also, due to stress, bruxism can begin - a spasm of the masticatory muscles, accompanied by grinding of teeth and their involuntary clenching. Bruxism also leads to deepening of the nasolabial folds, as well as changes in the shape of the face and even grinding of teeth. As you understand, spasms of the facial muscles negatively affect our face - expression lines begin to form in certain areas of the face.Recognizing spasms
If you want to understand whether you have lyspasms of the facial muscles, then first you need to observe yourself. Do you have a wrinkle between your eyebrows? Does it get worse after a night's sleep? Do you feel strong tension in any area of your face? Have you noticed that you involuntarily clench your jaw? Do you purse your lips? Do you tuck your chin?
Answer these questions for yourself. You can recognize these spasms only by observing your face, the areas of tension and what wrinkles begin to form on it.
How to prevent wrinkles from appearing while you sleep?
- Watch how you sleep and what position your face is in during sleep.
- Use special facial patches to prevent wrinkles while sleeping.
- Control your facial expressions throughout the day to get rid of the habit of wincing, pursing your lips, squinting, and others.
- Do exercises to relax tense areas of your face.
- Enjoy life and avoid stress and negative emotions, because they are often the causes of facial muscle spasms.
Love yourself, your body and face to preserve beauty and youth for a long time!
It is known that during the night a sleeping person can change his body position, on average, up to 20 times. Moreover, more than a third of night sleep is spent in the position on the back, the rest of the time - on the sides and stomach. In fact, the favorite sleeping position determines the nature of the formation of wrinkles on the face. Published on the web portal imbf.org
Considering that women like to sleep on their sides, and men like to sleep on their stomachs. Accordingly, wrinkles after sleep in women are more often noticeable on the jawline and cheeks, while in men, the face is pressed tightly to the pillow, and “sleep wrinkles” form on the forehead. According to doctors, the only possible way to get rid of sleep wrinkles is to force yourself to sleep on your back!
Regardless of what position we sleep in at night, the amount of hyaluronic acid in the deep layers of the skin decreases after 25 years, which leads to a decrease in skin elasticity and the formation of age-related wrinkles and folds on the face. If we sleep face down or put our fist under our cheek so that it “slides” almost into our eyes, we spend 8 hours a day creating wrinkles on our face!
Wrinkles between the cheek and the back of the nose, between the lower lip and chin, wrinkles across the crow's feet, worsening nasolabial folds, as well as various creases of the most bizarre shapes and sizes - most often this is the result of a night's sleep, during which the skin shifts, breaks or flattens.
Sleeping on your stomach
The worst position is sleeping on your stomach with your face pressed to the pillow. Have you noticed vertical lines or fabric marks on your face after sleeping? If so, then you are looking at only a preliminary version of permanent wrinkles that are already forming. Those who prefer to sleep on their stomach often suffer from forehead wrinkles.
Sleeping on your side
Research shows that a person spends an average of 60% of their night sleeping on their side. This position creates vertical lines on the cheeks and chin. Sleeping in this position also aggravates the condition of facial wrinkles (especially glabellar folds and wrinkles around the lips). If you prefer to sleep on one side, it will quickly become clear which one. You can soften the effect a little by constantly changing sides, but this is still not a very good option.
Sleeping on your back
The best way to avoid wrinkles is to eliminate any contact between your face and the pillow, which means sleeping on your back. In addition, you will get rid of rashes that are caused by bacteria living on the pillow, as well as puffy eyes in the morning, since the normal outflow of fluids on your face will remain throughout the night.
How to stop sleeping face down on a pillow
- Firstly, it would be a good idea to wean yourself from sleeping on a pillow, especially since this is the best way to get rid of the habit of constantly turning over on it from side to side.
- Secondly, for better control over your sleeping position, you can use a cushion under your neck or under your knees if it is difficult to sleep in an unusual position on your back.
- Even a simple scarf tied in a knot on the stomach can help you get out of the habit of sleeping in a position on your stomach. This makes sleeping on your stomach extremely uncomfortable, and at the same time helps you wean yourself from the face-down sleeping position.
If you have already tried all these tips, but your body stubbornly does not want to listen to you and continues to take the “face down” position in your sleep, then it makes sense change cotton pillowcases to silk or satin. Sliding fabric will leave fewer marks and creases on the skin of the face.
