Facial wrinkles: how to counteract them during the night

As the years go by, metabolism slows down, skin loses elasticity, and wrinkles tend to appear. At first, they are small signs related to expression, and then they become decidedly more evident and deeper. Wrinkles are caused by the loss of collagen, which reduces the volume of the skin. If you are not a fan of creams and beauty treatments, here are some tips to prevent the signs of aging and maintain a bit of freshness even after 40.

Fighting wrinkles is a challenge that many of us face in our lives. Some dedicate more time to this battle, while others approach their appearance with greater philosophy, but sooner or later, we all find ourselves in front of the mirror dealing with these signs of the passing time.

Face masks, anti-aging creams, and facial massages are certainly a great way to prevent and counteract these small imperfections, but did you know that it is also possible to act on them during the night?

Let's look together at some gestures and tips to combat wrinkles even during the night!

1. Sleep on your back

This advice is definitely useful if you are people who have no problems sleeping in any position. To counteract wrinkles, in fact, it is advisable to fall asleep on your back, so as not to create pressure on our face. However, for many people, this may be uncomfortable and it is not possible to control the involuntary movements of sleep that lead to a side position or lying on your back, so we have 4 other tips.

2. Use a night cream

It is precisely during the night that facial treatments are absorbed more quickly and effectively, which is why it is essential to go to sleep after thoroughly cleansing your skin and applying your ideal night cream. While you sleep, your skin can benefit more from the treatments you apply, and in the morning you will wake up with hydrated skin, and your skin will be more elastic and velvety.

3. Pay attention to the choice of pillow

The choice of your pillow is essential both to ensure a good night's sleep and to combat wrinkles on our skin. An ergonomic pillow, of medium firmness and covered with cotton pillowcases, seems to be the ideal choice to reduce facial contact with the pillow surface, thereby reducing sleep lines.

4. Try the coconut oil

If you love natural remedies, then coconut oil is the solution for you. The benefits of this fruit are indeed countless, but not everyone knows that applying coconut oil to the face significantly reduces wrinkles.
"Its use is always recommended in combination with a night cream: apply it like a mask, rinse off, and then apply a moisturizer. It is perfect for regenerating the skin and reducing wrinkles."

5. Sleep enough

The last piece of advice concerns a good amount of sleep. To rest well, your body needs to sleep at least 7-9 hours a day. And it is precisely during these nighttime hours that the body releases melanin, strengthening the immune system and slowing down aging.
