An anti-wrinkle pillow is more beneficial to men and women who are over 40. That is about the age when we start to lose a huge amount of collagen.

Collagen production in the human body starts to slow down when we reach our 20s to 30s. From that time the body’s collagen production starts to go down by 1% per year.

It doesn’t have a big impact at first but as the years go by, the effects become more evident. By age 40 we already have a dramatic drop in collagen.

Around this time we experience a variety of related symptoms such as loss of energy, drying skin, sagging, wrinkles, and other signs of aging.

That is why younger people can sleep any other way they want and it won’t show on their faces. In short, they don’t really need an anti-wrinkle pillow.

Their skin can just go back to their original form after the pressure, tension, exposure, and irritants have done their dirty work. Older folks who have skin that is no longer as supple, will need these pillows to prevent wrinkling over time.

Before we go to your pillow options, we need to determine the factors that will come into play when you choose the right anti-wrinkle pillow that suits your needs. These are the features that you should keep in mind:

• Cost: some pillows for wrinkles can cost more than others. The material, design, and brand will affect the price of each product.
• Material: manufacturers will use different materials to make their products—which affect their quality and level of comfort. These anti-aging pillows can be made with synthetic fibers, latex, memory foam, down, and others.
• Construction: quality construction will mean that a pillow will last longer. Apart from the type of material that they are made of, the type of construction will also affect how well the pillow will stay in shape after a lot of uses.
• Comfort: the comfort that you get from a pillow will depend on the design and material it is made from. Some pillows are better suited for side sleepers while others are better for tummy sleepers.
• Care and Maintenance: again, depending on the material and construction of these pillows, how you care for them will also vary. Some need to be washed and dried separately so pay attention to the instructions that come with each product.

We don’t endorse any particular brand but there are certain designs and materials that we want to highlight, which might help you find the best anti-aging pillow that matches your needs.

Here are some of the best options today:

Remember that the secret behind these pillows is that they keep your cheek away from direct or intense contact with the pillow, which will reduce the tension and pressure on your skin.

That is what an ergonomic design does for you—these pillows have a V-shape design that supports the head but leaves the cheeks suspended or hanging. It provides you with enough support so you can sleep on your side but relieves the pressure and tension on your face.

Silk fabrics can reduce the friction on your face and thus will help to reduce wrinkles with prolonged use. The problem is that it is pretty expensive.

A good economic alternative is a bamboo fiber pillowcase. It provides you with the following benefits:

• Eco friendly
• Hypoallergenic
• Natural UV protection
• It is one of the softest fabrics
• Insulating – keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer
• Very sweat absorbent – moisture wicking
• Antibacterial
  

Look for anti-aging pillow cases with contoured design if you’re looking for something that can provide you with all around support for your neck and head.

These are the pillows sold online that don’t look like pillows. They have special contours that support your head but keep your cheeks from direct contact with the pillow or the bed itself.

Some of these special contoured pillows were designed by plastic surgeons. Some have recesses that support the head but prevent the skin from touching any fabric.

Note that these pillows need some time to get used to. But once you get the hang of them, they’re pretty comfy actually.
