A Canadian firm has given new meaning to the phrase ‘beauty sleep’ by creating a pillowcase, which is being touted as the latest way to keep wrinkles at bay, Daily Mail reports. The $40 cloth cover – which comes with a lifetime guarantee – is said to hydrate the face and prevent lines while you sleep. And unlike a normal cotton pillowcase, which apparently sucks moisture from the skin, the Wrinkle Preventing Pillowcase’s special blend of ‘hydrophobic fibres’ keeps the complexion hydrated all night.

The pillowcase was developed by a dermatologist and contains no creams or chemicals.

According to its description online, a traditional cotton case has a ‘rough surface’ that ‘siphons moisture’ away, leaving the face dry and dull.

But the wrinkle preventing version is ‘therapeutic and extra-smooth’, redirecting moisture back into the skin for a more vibrant, healthier-looking appearance in the morning.

They say the machine washable silky pillowcase also helps skin stay smooth, thanks to its 22,000 densely woven micro-filaments that prevent friction and remain taut.

They thwart the bunching and pressure that cause standard cases to inscribe sleep lines, ‘which can develop into permanent wrinkles’.

Talk about beauty sleep! The DreamSkin Beauty Pillowcase is designed to elminate sleep wrinkles and fine lines, all while rebuilding the collagen in our skin. Made from the patented JuveTex fabric, which is made from a combination of yarns woven into a specific weave pattern, resulting in the fabric acting as a cosmetic moisturizer.

Jackie Silver, a National Anti-Aging Beauty Examiner for examiner.com recently posted an article about the DreamSkin Beauty Pillowcase. Here is an excerpt:

What if you could hydrate your skin effortlessly by simply enjoying a good night’s sleep? That’s the concept behind the DreamSkin Beauty Pillowcase, the brainchild of Susan J. Leslie. Leslie had splurged on some pricy night cream and one night rested her head on the pillow and went to sleep. A few hours later she awoke and realized that there was more product on her pillow than on her face. She knew the importance of beauty sleep and searched and searched for a product that would moisturize her face all night long, but could not find one.

DreamSkin Anti-Aging Pillowcases have been clinically proven to reduce facial wrinkles and fine lines by up to 51%. We recently published the following press release which details the findings of the clinical study:

A recent clinical study conducted by a leading skin physiologist has shown that the physician formulated DreamSkin Pillowcase rejuvenates the skin and reduces wrinkles by locking moisture in the skin at night. DreamSkin, woven with JuveTex fabric, is designed to reduce fine lines and help improve sleep with its unique construction and comfort. The clinical study compared DreamSkin’s JuveTex fabric to cotton, and results showed that JuveTex retained more water than cotton, preventing more moisture from escaping the skin during sleep. Moisture loss is the leading cause of sleep lines, fine lines and facial wrinkles. sleep lines are primarily caused when the face rests against fabric, eventually etching these lines into permanent facial wrinkles. Fabrics such as cotton, silk, charmeuse, and satin pull moisture from the skin and become damp, causing the skin to adhere to the creased surface.

The DreamSkin Anti-Aging Pillowcase effectively acts as a high quality anti-wrinkle cream by keeping the face moisturized during the night. “Anyone – men or women – who are concerned with their skin and looking younger will benefit from sleeping on the luxurious DreamSkin Pillowcase every night,” says co-inventor Susan J. Leslie. The clinical studies concluded that the DreamSkin pillowcase has a positive effect on reducing and possibly preventing the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. There is a strong indication that new collagen is generated in the dermis that accounts for this phenomenon.

In an additional “overnight study,” four of the five subjects that tested the DreamSkin pillowcase were free of “sleep lines” with improved skin in the morning, while only one of three that used a cotton pillowcase (control) was free of “sleep lines.” DreamSkin’s JuveTex fabric contains no creams or chemicals and works naturally with a specific combination of yarns and a proprietary weave pattern that results in the fabric acting as a cosmetic moisturizer. In addition, JuveTex contains 22,000 microfibers per square inch and provides a soft cushioning effect that causes less pressure on the delicate facial skin than standard pillowcases. Less friction is proven to result in healthier hair and skin and provides facial rejuvenation.

Moisture loss is one of the leading causes of skin wrinkles and results in a breakdown of collagen. On average, our skin will lose about 0.5 milligrams per centimeter of skin per hour during the day, and twice that amount or more is lost during the night time. Over eight hours of sleep, that is a loss of about five teaspoons of water!  The amount of water passing through the skin is critical since too much water will macerate the skin and too little will leave the skin hard and dry.

Chemical moisturizers provide a barrier to the skin so the water cannot escape easily, allowing retention of moisture in the outer layer of skin. You know you should wear your moisturizer and wrinkle cream at night, but sometimes you just skip it because the thick, white creams feel uncomfortable. I’ve put my night cream on in the bathroom, shut off the lights, and run to bed in fear of scaring the pants off my husband. A greasy face is not exactly the fantasy vision that men have of a beautiful wife. Then, we try to lie on our backs like a Zombie in the same position all night so the cream doesn’t rub off onto our pillowcase, which is a pretty hard task to accomplish.

Some nights we’re just too tired to put on a cream or simply forget to do it. So how do you prevent moisture loss at night without dealing with messy creams? Many people think silk, satin, or charmeuse pillowcases help smooth the skin, which may be true when comparing them to cotton. However, these pillowcases all wick moisture away from the skin at high levels. What if there was a fabric that provided the same moisture retaining effects as an anti-wrinkle cream? JuveTex, formulated by award winning scientist, skin physiologist and author of Advanced Professional Skin care, Dr. Peter Pugliese could be the best, most advanced solution for facial rejuvenation and the treatment of aging skin.

The DreamSkin Beauty Pillowcase with JuveTex fabric was created with ultimate softness and moisture technology in mind. There are NO chemicals in the fabric, but “the secret is in the threads.” The formulation is an eco-friendly, proprietary weave pattern and each yarn is a specific weight and type to provide the exact amount of water proof surface to reduce water loss and repair dry, damaged facial skin. The skin is the largest organ in the body and the future of skin and hair care is here now through science and rejuvenation.

The DreamSkin Beauty Pillowcase naturally moisturizes by helping to retain moisture in the skin, leaving the face softer and more pliable. You can now begin your new nightly beauty regimen and sleep on possibly the softest pillowcase in the world. Rest assured you will awaken refreshed and radiant.
