Side-Sleeping: The hidden culprit of premature wrinkles and fine lines

As we age, our face tends to exhibit more noticeable fine lines and wrinkles due to a decrease in skin elasticity.

However, experts caution that side-sleeping can expedite the development of these fine lines, wrinkles, and facial asymmetry associated with the aging process, primarily because of the increased pressure on the face.

Dr. Maryam Zamani, a UK oculoplastic surgeon, explains, 'This is the reason why people may notice that one of their eyes has a slightly different shape or that one side of their lips is lower than the other.'"

As far as the skin-friendliest way to face, sleeping on your back with your head facing out and center will definitely reduce the risk of developing sleep-related skin problems to the greatest degree,” NYC board-certified dermatologist Dr. Rachel Maiman told Allure.

“With age, our neck and body joints need increasingly more support, but too many pillows can exacerbate these problems,” she added.
