While we all know that a good night’s sleep is one of the many anti-ageing solutions out there, apparently you could still be ageing your skin while you sleep.
Nurse Jamie, US-based dermatologist for the likes of Kim Kardashian and Jessica Alba, has warned of the effects that sleeping a certain way can have on your appearance. The culprit? Sleeping on your side.
Speaking with Coveteur, Jamie noted that “[I tell my clients not to] side-sleep. Poor sleeping habits are a major cause of premature aging. Side-sleeping on a cotton pillow causes you to crush your delicate skin and can also lead to those necklace lines. Ideally we would all be sleeping on our backs.”
One solution to this is sleeping on a silk pillow case, or alternatively Nurse Jamie has released her own pillow called “the Beauty Bear” - a pillow to help train you to sleep on your back.
