Dr. Debra Jaliman recommends sleeping on your back because this position does not apply pressure to the face, thus minimizing the appearance of lines and maintaining facial symmetry. If sleeping on your back feels uncomfortable, try the following tricks: Place a pillow under your knees or lower back to help align the spine and relieve pressure on the face. Use pillows on both sides of your body to limit movement while sleeping.

To help train yourself to sleep on your back, some additional tips include. Contoured Pillow: This pillow helps minimize wrinkles, supports skin health, and helps hydrate skin cells. Neck Pillow: A neck pillow keeps the head and neck in a neutral position while sleeping on your back, reducing pressure on the face.

Switching from cotton pillowcases to silk or satin can be another solution. These materials have a smoother and slicker surface, allowing the skin to move freely on the pillow without experiencing excessive friction or pulling. "With a silk pillowcase, the skin is safer on the pillow," says Dr. Jaliman. Friction is reduced, and the face will not 'bounce' like when using a cotton pillow.
