We all know that getting more sleep is beneficial for reducing dark circles, under-eye puffiness, and overall health.
But did you realize your sleep position is aging you?
Expression lines are created by muscle contractions in your face. Over time, the repetition of facial expressions like frowning, smiling, pursing and squinting creates lines. We can inject fillers and Botox to help reduce the expressions made so those lines don't get deeper.
Sleep wrinkles are not caused by muscle movement. Instead, they form as a result of the direct pressure of your face into the pillow while you sleep. The best way to prevent sleep lines is to adjust your sleeping position. As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen, elastin tissue and hyaluronic acid. This makes it difficult for your skin to bounce back to normal, causing those lines to settle more permanently in the skin.
This is why I was so excited when I found out about the Envy Copper Peptide Pillow! It is the only copper infused pillow on the market with an impressive list of benefits including:
- Anti-bacterial: ideal for acne and rosacea sufferers, although I think everyone benefits from this!
- Anti-wrinkle: copper peptides help boost collagen and elastin to help keep your skin strong, while also providing antioxidant properties.
- Anti-aging: promotes hyaluronic acid production to keep your skin plump.
- Pro-cool: keeps your head cool, which also prevents bed head!
- Therapeutic memory foam: benefits of aligning and supporting the neck, and promotes an "off your face" way of sleeping by insuring your face is free from compression on the pillow.
ADDED BONUS
- this is the perfect pillow to use immediately following cosmetic procedures (lasers, injections, surgeries).

enhance the copper pillow's results by applying a night cream containing hyaluronic acid to your skin before going to bed. My personal favorites are Skin Ceuticals HA Intensifier and SkinBetter AlphaRet.
