You’re probably wondering what sleeping without pillows has to do with your skin and aging right?
Well, one of the main causes of acne breakouts and wrinkles is sleeping on a pillow. This is mostly so for side and stomach sleepers.
Your skin produces sebum and excretes waste through sweat. All this, combined with dust particles are trapped between your skin and the pillowcase. This creates a good environment for the growth of bacteria.
The bacteria go back to your face, neck, and all the surrounding areas causing an acne breakout.
You can opt to wash your pillowcases regularly but can you wash the pillow?
The weight of the head-crushing against the pillow also means that whichever side you sleep on most, will tend to wrinkle prematurely.
To avoid all this trouble, you can choose to sleep without pillows by adopting the back sleeping style. This will benefit your skin tremendously.
