1. Sleeping on Your Back
Let’s start with the ideal, although not very common, sleeping position. Most health experts swear by this one. It’s not only good for your back but also a God-send gift for your skin. Let’s see how this works. Firstly, here you lie straight on the back which means you’re not applying any pressure on the skin of your face. This is what you inevitably do if you lie by your side or on your stomach. Less application of pressure causes fewer lines to develop on your skin down the road and less flattening of the contours of the face. And, ultimately your skin will stay smooth and younger for a longer period of time.
Secondly, since you’re sleeping straight on the back, fluids won’t accumulate around your eyes, like they do in the other two positions. This will prevent your eyes from getting puffy. Thirdly, in this position, your face doesn’t come in the contact of the pillow, saving you from the unnecessary exchange of dirt, grime, and oils between it and your facial skin. This will prevent the development of zits and irritation. Also, this is the perfect position where you can believe your night cream (You know how good they are for putting off skin ageing!) is staying the way it should be – on the face, getting slowly absorbed through it. So, sleep straight and keep bathing in your fountain of youth.
