Sleeping On Your Back Will Help You Maintain Looking Young








While there are many different variables as to why we age and get wrinkles, (i.e., sun exposure, genetics, smoking, lack of adequate sleep,constant folds in the skin casued by facial expressions, etc), the best solutions to an aging face are by practicing prevention.

One effective action to preventing an aging face is by committing to sleep on your back. When you sleep on your back, you are preventing your face from getting squished or creased, and it would be if you slept on your stomach or side. Sleeping in certain positions night after night leads to "sleep lines": wrinkles that become etched into the surface of the skin and don't disappear once you're up. Even when you sleep on your side, you increase the chances of developing wrinkles on your cheeks and chin, while sleeping face-down gives you a furrowed brow.


Suggestively, if laying on your back is difficult to do, or is a challenge to not turn over, try sleeping with a pillow underneath your knees to prevent you from rolling over, which may also prevent any lower back pressure you might experience.

Tonight, give it a try! And should you succeed...look at how refreshed and "line-free" you'll look in the morning!
