Preventing premature aging always been linked to sleep. Studies have shown that sleep deprivation alters facial appearance, and makes people appear less healthy and attractive; so, getting adequate amounts of shut-eye is ideal for radiant skin. Additionally, before you hit the sack, most wrinkle-free touting face creams and serums have directions to use at night, so that these potions have time to penetrate deeply into the skin. But, in addition to getting the recommended 8 hours of sleep and slathering on a nighttime repair lotion, could the secret to looking younger be as simple as changing your pillowcase? According to the manufactures of the Cupron Cosmetic Pillowcase, it is.

The main element of the success of Cupron’s pillowcase is the copper-infused satin fibers. Copper is an essential mineral that has widely been used in beauty products because of its skin-enhancing abilities. The technology of the copper directly interacts with the skin while you sleep to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while promoting the growth of collagen and elastin. 

Skeptical? A recent study in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology revealed that after four weeks of everyday use, participants who used the copper pillowcase experienced an average of 10% reduction in their wrinkles.

Satin pillowcases are known to keep skin crease-free because the softness allows the skin to slide around, rather than get stuck in one place. But, is it more beneficial to have a pillowcase infused with skin-saving properties? Maybe. But, since the ingredients aren’t penetrating into the layers of skin, it’s best to maintain your regular ant-aging regimen along with using the pillowcase for optimum results.

The Cupron Cosmetic Pillowcase is available online for $49.95 in beige with dark brown piping.
