Why Your Sleep Position is Causing you ACNE

Do you notice that one side of your face tends to have more breakouts than the other? It maybe caused by your sleeping position! Check out how you can easily fix the problem!

Beauty is no easy task, and you girls know it's hard work! Even sleeping position can play a part in messing up a clear complexion. I have always slept on my right side and for the longest time, my right face would always have more pimples, I had a sneaking suspicion that my sleeping position had something to do with it, and I was proven correct when I decided to change up my sleeping position.

How is it possible that the way you sleep causes break out?? The way you sleep can cause dust/fibers from your bedding, pillow even your hair to rub on to your face and causes break outs.

If you are like me, you cleans your face and perform your night time routine right before heading off to bed. I apply a load of stuff to my face, toner, serum and night cream, in the hope that I will wake up to better looking skin. But one of the problems in applying products right before heading off to sleep is that the products may not be completely absorbed into your skin before your face hits the pillows. And then disaster happens! All the dust particles, dead skin cells from your bedding gets stuck onto your skin care products and clogs your pores. Get the picture?

Now that you know the cause, the good news is that it's very simple to correct. There are a few solutions:

SOLUTION 1: Sleep on your back. By sleeping on your back, not only will you avoid anything touching your face, but also help delay the appearance of wrinkles! Yes, just think about it, with your face rubbing the pillow all night long, it will bound to cause wrinkles

SOLUTION 2:  Perform your night time routine earlier. Apply all your products 20-30 mins before night time to allow sufficient time for skin care products to absorb. You can also gently  massage your face to increase the rate of absorption.

SOLUTION 3: Choose fast absorbing products. Although they may work wonders, certain products out there take a really long time to absorb. If there is no way the first two solutions can work for you, try choosing products that is fast absorbing.

I personally cannot fall asleep in any other position, so Solution 2 is the solution of choice!

Stay beautiful~
