Morpheus' curse. Scientists have called a sleeping pose that form wrinkles on the face

Researchers have found that sleep can really leave prints on a person's face - it all depends on what pose you sleep. Wrinkles on our skin appear for a number of reasons, in particular due to aging, sunlight, smoking, insufficient moisture, facial expressions and poses during sleep. Researchers have confirmed that sleep can really leave prints on our face, and what they will be depends on the pose in which we sleep, writes Science Alert. As a rule, sleep wrinkles are temporary.

But with age, our skin loses its elasticity, causing sleep wrinkles remain forever on our face. Fortunately, according to a team of scientists at the University of Queensland, there are several things that we can do to minimize wrinkles. In focus. Technology has appeared its Telegram channel.

According to the researcher-dermatologist Yusuf Mohammed, when we sleep on the side or abdomen, the force of gravity presses our face to the armrest, which makes the skin very deformed: it stretches and compresses in all directions when we are moving in a dream. What can be done by scientists advise to reduce the external forces acting on our face while sleeping. To do this, you need to sleep on your back or change your position during sleep.

According to a Frazer Institute's researcher Khan Fan, in fact, doctors can determine which side you sleep only by looking at your face. On the young face, sleep wrinkles really disappear after waking up, but at a more mature age, the skin deforms and its elasticity decreases. The result is ideal conditions for the formation and prolonged appearance of wrinkles during sleep.

The nature and speed of the formation of wrinkles in the dream are influenced: scientists have also found that people who prefer to sleep on one side of the body, as a rule, have a flat face on the side of sleep and more noticeable wrinkles in this area. Collagen and elastin are two main components of the dermis of the skin - they form its structure and maintain elasticity.

According to experts, adding collagen to skin care procedures to increase elasticity can really help reduce the formation of wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid is one of the most common active ingredients of creams, gels and skin care lotions. It is a natural molecule that occurs in the human body that holds collagen and elastin in our skin in proper configuration. It also stimulates collagen production, providing moisture.

In simple words, the use of hyaluronic acid products can slow down the formation of sleep wrinkles. According to Yusuf Mohammed, silk pillowcases can really affect the formation of wrinkles, because they allow our skin to slide and move, and do not create friction and pressure in one place. Experts advise you to use silk pillowcases and sheets to protect the skin from sleep wrinkles.

Studies have also shown that pillows designed to reduce mechanical voltage during sleep can prevent deformation of the skin. Such a pillow can be useful to slow and prevent the formation of certain wrinkles on the face. In addition, scientists advise to sleep on their backs and include night care in the daily routine - it will also help protect the skin from wrinkles.
