Grosse Pointe Dermatology

Wrinkles appear gradually due to not properly caring for the skin. Believe it or not, these annoying lines may start to build up while sleeping. Since we spend a prolonged period asleep, the skin and face can be squished into the pillow, causing friction between the fabric and the skin.

This mostly happens if you’re a side sleeper, and yes, this creates creases and then permanent annoying wrinkles. To reduce friction between the skin and the fabric, it’s recommended to use a satin or silk pillowcase. These fabrics minimize the chances of permanent wrinkles by allowing the skin to slip.
