Instructions

• 1

  Try sleeping on your back. This is the simplest way to keep from getting wrinkles from sleeping on your side. However, changing your sleep position might not work, since everyone has a preferred sleeping position,

• 2

  Avoid cotton pillows. Cotton pillows tend to crease, which then indents your face, creating sleep wrinkles. Use a down pillow or memory foam pillow to avoid creases.

• 3

  Use a satin or silk pillowcase. Avoid cotton pillowcases that, again, tend to crease. Satin and silk pillowcases tend to lay flat.

• 4

  Purchase an anti-wrinkle pillow. Although the benefits are unproven, you might want to try an anti-wrinkle pillow. These are specifically designed to reduce wrinkles with copper ions contained within the fabric.
