Start the War on Aging

One of the first places we notice aging is in our skin. Most people know that the main cause is sun damage so any wrinkle prevention plan must include sunscreen. But I wanted to mention another wrinkle cause you may not have considered, your pillow. Did you know that how you sleep and what you sleep on can affect your looks. Dermatologists can often identify the side of the face you sleep on just by looking at your wrinkles.

So what are Sleep Wrinkles?

Every night while your sleeping, skin can take excessive damage being creased firmly against your mattress or pillow. These “sleep wrinkles” are temporary and usually last only a few hours into the day. While this may seem somewhat insignificant these “sleep wrinkles” can actually become permanent. You are, in effect, ironing in facial wrinkles on your skin every time you sleep. Spacesleeper allows your skin to be free of contact during the night, allowing for more comfort and leaving you “sleep wrinkle” free. Here is a quote from the Doctor’s Book of Home Remedies:

Keep pillows away from your face. “Watch out for sleep wrinkles,” says Dr. Binstock. These are wrinkles that are caused by pressing your face into the pillow at night. If you’re guilty of this habit, learn to sleep on your back instead, or experiment to find a position where your face is not pressing the pillow. You may see some of your smaller lines fade away.

A quick search of the net will reveal that sleeping on you back is the most common suggestion. Unfortunately, thats not a comfortable option for many people. Spacesleeper allows you to comfortably sleep in any position you like.

Spacsleeper also has the additional benefit of keeping your face away from the dirt and oils that accumulate on your pillow. Most people realize that dirty pillowcases can also contribute to wrinkles. We’ve all seen the thousands of cleansers dedicated to help us rid our faces of those dirt and oils. They all recommend some kind of daily cleansing routine to help avoid wrinkles and protect your skin. It wouldn’t make much sense to clean your face each day only to then spend the next 8 hours rubbing the dirt and oils back in. Well now you don’t have to. The spacesleeper pillow creates space between your face and any surface and helps you avoid re-exposing your face to dirt and natural oils. So give your face some space and look younger, longer.
