How a Pillow Can Give You Good Skin

Sleeping Beauty slept for 100 years and woke up with a fresh, flawless skin. How did she manage, without even washing her face once for that long? Well, those are stuff fairy tales are made of. Yet, one thing is true - sound sleep of 8 hours every night makes you a beauty. You wake up feeling fresh in the mind and glowing in the face.

Recently, science has come up with an interesting discovery. A study released in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology states that people who slept on copper-fiber pillows at night woke up with fresher skin. Copper is a durable metal that gets absorbed in the skin and regulates the production of skin proteins.

In a study, participants aged between 30 and 60 slept on copper-fiber pillows for 8 weeks. The result - they got improved skin quality, with minimized crow’s feet and smoother faces. No side effects were reported.

Pillow plays an important role in your facial beauty. If copper is not your thing, at least try to use your regular pillow in a better and more useful manner.

Avoid sleeping on your side with your face sunk into the pillow. It contributes to loosening the skin and forming creases. One of the most beautiful ways to sleep is to lie on your back, with a pillow supporting your neck and head.

If you don’t like sagging skin, you probably also don’t like sagging mattresses. Get a firm, comfortable bed to sleep on that gives you a restful night’s sleep. Remember, when you are happy and relaxed in your mind, it shows on the face.
