The hours of sleep are precious, but they have a not so positive B-side: the 'sleep lines' or wrinkles that appear from the position in which you sleep and rest your face on the pillow. Pillows that promise to be anti-aging due to the components of their fabrics came onto the market recently. Let's take a look at it.
Most people enjoy the time to get into bed and settle in for
a wonderful restful sleep, but so many hours and years of sleeping in the same
way eventually causes wrinkles from the pressure of the face against the pillow
and cover. Thus, marks are generated that are not erased after a while. Horror!
They are called "dynamic wrinkles". "It is generated by
gesticulation, the sleeping position and the passage of time, because the skin
gives way and the collagen fibers shorten," explains Ruth Rodríguez, a
dermatologist at the Estoril Clinic.
There are not many ways to escape, sleeping on your back
without moving would be ideal, but uncomfortable and unrealistic (except for
the lucky few who find that natural position). That is why some creative minds
have turned to technology to propose a salvation from the dreaded signs of aging.
This is how ultra-techy bedding was born as Iluminage (Iluminagebeauty.com), a
company that markets masks and pillowcases made from a synthetic material based
on copper oxide, called Cupron. The material will have antibacterial properties
and would activate protein cell renewal to minimize the signs of aging and thus
rejuvenate the skin.
Dream Skin (Dreamskinpillowcase.com) is another company
looking for anti-wrinkle fabrics. They propose a hybrid of semi-waterproof
synthetic microfibers and microfibers called JuveTex. "A fabric that works
like a real moisturizer," says the website. The grace of this cover, they
say, is to prevent the pillow from removing moisture from the face overnight.
Is the pillow the cause of dehydration of the skin of the
face? «I think it is very overstated to think that basic can dry out the skin;
I could contribute, but there is no study in this regard ", explains Dr.
Rodríguez. Klein and Associates dermatologist Родольфо Кляйн agrees and
compares: "I am inclined to think that air pollution, humidity and the sun
are more dehydrating."
The promises of these brands are tempting, however the
Experts' recommendation is to remain cautious because so far there is no
scientific sign to support these theories. "Perhaps over time they will
carry out studies to prove it, but so far there are none," says
dermatologist Rodolfo Klyin.
Anti-aging tips
Although the dream lines, сын неизбежного, there are
measures that delay their appearance. Рекомендация The dermatologist of the
Estorial Clinic Рут Родригес:
- Prefer a soft and firm fabric cover to avoid wrinkles with
movements when sleeping.
- Use a firmer pillow so that the face is less marked.
- Утилита always sunscreen. "So far it is the best
anti-wrinkle because UV radiation is the main factor in aging."
