What's the case for anti-wrinkle pillows and sleeping on silk?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2024
- More and more products are coming onto the market aimed at preventing sleep wrinkles - those lines that can form on your face at night when it’s squished against the pillow, or so the theory goes.
Now you can buy special pillows with holes cut at the side to relieve pressure, we’ve got anti-wrinkle sleep masks, we’ve got patches that you can wear all over your face and even on your chest at night, and we’re told to sleep on silk or satin pillow cases to avoid cotton creases on our skin too.
But does splashing out on one or more of those make a real difference?
In this video I share my experience of trying out the Sleep & Glow Omnia pillow, along with Lilysilk cases compared with a cheaper competitor, eye masks and gel patches.

The best pillow I have tried is the Retouchpillow, its is so comfortable, like a cradle for your head and its made chemical free.
Also I like that it doesnt have two Big Blocks on each side of your face.. it also comes with a Nice dustbag for travelling..
Love this video
Thank you for your feedback! I've been considering the omnia pillow recently. Might have to give it a try!
Hope you like it if you do try it. Took me quite a bit of getting used to.
So interesting! I've always wondered about the silk pillows and sleeping positions. Looking gorgeous ❤️ (nice necklace ey)
I got the necklace from someone very special to me 😉
I've used memory foam pillows for years and never wake up with creases is my face. They are also a great support for your neck. ❤😊
I have the Sleep and Glow pillow and think it's just OK. For the last month I've been using the "Envy" pillow. It's the same concept but it's more comfortable for me and it's easier to put your head in the middle and when on your side it's tilted so your face isn't squashed up. I prefer this to the Omnia. Thanks for sharing about the sleeping mask, I use a silk mask but this one you mentioned sounds interesting. I will check it out!
That’s interesting about the Envy pillow. Thanks for flagging. I’ll check it out.
I have the Beauty Pillow. It's a lot cheaper than the Omnia and very similar. I think the main problem I have with either brand is how thin the pillows are. I just cannot understand why. I find that when I sleep on my side, the shoulder under is so crushed. Mind you I am just very small, just 160cm tall and 55kg. I really wonder about ladies who are bigger and taller... how do they even survive sleeping on such thin pillows? It is extremely uncomfortable. I know they do sell add on which is extra cost but they should simply make the pillows thicker.
Have you tried Retouchpillow? Its like a mix of envy and Omnia and no chemicals.. comes with bamboo or mulberry silk cover
@@scooter3026 Can you sleep on your side with the Retouchpillow?
@@scooter3026please share link
I’m a great fan of my Blissy silk pillowcases. I’ve bought my daughters one each as well and they love them. They never feel hot or cold or harsh. I wash them in the washing machine on a delicates wash inside a laundry bag and they have been fine. One even survived an inadvertent 40 degree cotton wash!!! I can’t imagine going back to cotton now. Thanks for your great channel.
Good idea to wash them inside a bag!
You look great! I see the difference in your face.
Thank you!
Love my lilysilk pillow cases too!
didn’t like sleep and glow pillow though - so uncomfortable I had to return it 😹
The pillow has taken me a lot of getting used to that’s for sure!
Great video, Clare. I used to love the old sleep and glow pillow. It was amazing. But now they changed it to the one you have and somehow it’s not working for me unfortunately. Glad to hear it’s working for you.
Maybe they'll return to the older version. I can only use it a certain angle to get comfortable!
May I ask, how is it different?
I trained myself to sleep on my back. Soooo much better. Took quite a long time but finally actually sleep so much better. I use a 7inch wedge and 2 pillows under my knees.
I tried all of the different sleep pillows and the only thing that didn’t crease my face was back sleeping. My boss has really severe permanent sleep creases from sleeping on his side and back.
I was considering training myself to do the same but then that initial research came out recently about side sleeping being good for brain health (and not doing it possibly increasing chances of dementia - I think so far that's just been shown in animals, though maybe they've now tested this in humans, I need to check again). So I'm a bit loathe to completely stop any side sleeping for now. May be worth a Google if that concerns you, otherwise just ignore me! x
I got the pillow 2 days ago and am liking it so far, it does take getting used to, and I'm wiggling and trying to see what works for me. The tencel case that comes with it isn't as soft as my satin cases and it's a shame they don't sell satin cases. I just can't justify the cruelty behind the silk industry :( I will never own anything made from silk, but I heard satin is comparable.
I have a silk pillowcase somewhere here and never use it any more. Guess, I should. Must find which storage bin it’s in. Thanks, I also have several eye masks and also hardly ever use anymore. Know exactly it’s location. Will use again. Thanks.
I have never been able to get comfortable with the Sleep and Glo pillow. I end up tossing, turning, and readjusting the pillow all night and then not getting a good night's sleep. I do keep trying it again periodically but, I prefer my regular firm pillow with a silk pillowcase. I do like using silicone chest patches while I sleep. My chest is smooth with no sleep wrinkles when I wake up. I wish I could get used to sleeping on my back but, I just wake myself up with my own snoring! 😂
I know what you mean. It takes quite a lot of adjustment. Like you it would be easier if I could just lie on my back!
Well, you asked.
I use Frownie-like patches on my 11 lines overnight and have been very pleased. I began about five years ago in the final decade of my working career when the 11 lines I already had began to multiply into 111111, etc., lines. The patches eliminated the fresh new lines but only kept the older, already-established 11 lines from getting deeper. I've been ok with that.
On me, the patches work best on expression lines. They keep the area wrinkle free during use, so they give the skin in that location a break. A person who could also do something to stop making the wrinkle-causing expression during the day (relaxation? greater awareness? face yoga?) might be able to see a significant reduction in older wrinkles.
The patches I use most of the time are polyethylene with an adhesive, although I've used different brands. They're triangular with rounded corners. Circular and small curved sausage shapes also seem to work, at least on my 11 lines. I tried but didn't like the silicone patches you seem to have used. I didn't have the trouble with their adhesion that some people reported, but I preferred the others because the reusable silicone patches had to be rinsed and dried every day and I couldn't wear my evening skincare under them. I also didn't like the actual Frownies. Those are or were made with a stiff brown paper backing and weren't as comfortable on me. The Frownies are also more expensive than the ones I use. I have tried patches that lacked a stiffish backing but delivered targeted skincare. These didn't keep my skin from wrinkling, so I count those as fails, at least on me.
I also use two silk pillowcases from Lilysilk that I bought two years ago. These have one silk side and one cotton side. I bought them because I figured they wouldn't be a complete waste if I didn't like the silk to sleep on. I wash them in my washing machine by themselves on a delicate cycle and air dry them. If I wash anything else with them, I put them in a bag. The only really special thing I do is use a detergent that's specifically ok for silk. The pillowcases seem to have helped my hair. I don't have as many breaks and split ends, and I haven't changed anything else significant in my hair care.
I hope this epistle is useful.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Only issue w/“silk” (I.e. slippy satin-y feeling fabrics) is they’re usually made of polyester and are HOT!! I switched from my silk pillowcases to more natural fabrics and it just feels better to sleep cooler. I also bought a Sleep and Glow pillow, and the shape of it did not do what it was intended to do for my neck length. My neck apparently is too short - the bump under the neck hurt my back and I couldn’t even reach the grooves that prevent wrinkles with my face, so my face just squished into the non-indented edges the same as any other pillow. I’ve tried so many and haven’t yet found my favorite.
JW, I think she's talking about actual silk (silkworm silk), not just silky material. Actual silk is a natural fabric.
I think you're right that any very silky surface would also help with compression wrinkles. I have a pair of cotton sateen pillowcases that are almost as silky as my silk ones. Like you, though,++ I'd find polyester pillowcases uncomfortable to sleep on. Too hot in hot weather and too cold in cold.
Me neither
I might try the silk. Might be good for puffiness.
I have a firm Emma pillow. I go to chiropractor once a month and want good neck support.
Also sleeping on your back is bad for your lower back. So put a pillow under your bum to support your pelvis. 👍🏼
When you sleep on your side put a pillow between your knees.
Thanks for the tips!
great video CLAIRE ! what sunscreen would you recommend for under makeup that is quite light ? as my partner cant find one that suits her ? THANKYOU !
Thanks Mark! I've listed the sunscreens I personally enjoy using here. Versed and Paula's Choice are my top 2 shopmy.us/collections/64681
thanks so much !@@thehonestchannel
I have silk pillows I find it helps keep my hair in good condition 😂
I'm buying my sill from abroad and will stitch the cover myself. Since these things are way overpriced. When i can i get it for less than £10
id like to find a more reasonable pillow option.
There are similar pillows available with cut outs for your face, I just couldn’t vouch for their quality.
I will never go without my silk pillowcase! No more wrinkles that stay all day. Less puffy eyes and hair that stays smooth ! I even take mine away with me! 😍
It’s incredible the difference a pillow and its cover can make!
@@thehonestchannel I sound like an advert on the TV but I will never go back to cotton pillowcases again! 😍
@@ph844 me neither I can’t stand the feeling of cotton against my skin now even on sheets 😂
@@ph844 same! Never cotton again. But I use satin. I just can't justify the cruelty that goes behind silk. I never had anything silk, but I heard satin is comparable anyway.
@@helenalovelock1030 honestly cotton feels like sandpaper once you know satin xD
I use a satin pillowcase and lie on my back... I've trained myself lol... Can you give feedback on Frownies Clair? Thank you😍
I've ordered a set just because you asked : )
@@thehonestchannel oh that is cool Claire. Thank you.
I am a guy and the omnia is sorts yes no yes no yes no for me, if you happen to reposition yourself with your head too low at the edge of the pillow then you have the bulky lower size in your cheeks and that just increased the lines under my eyes, also I find it too thin and wish they offered additional layers to modify the overall height. I do love the feel of their foam though and then there are days when I think it works perfectly lol....there are some versions of pillows shaped like giant donuts, so essentially circle shaped pillows with a cutout in the middle that I would like try as I haven't found the perfect solution yet...
I agree with you on that - it’s why I have a love/hate relationship with mine and I now wonder if it makes me snore. Helps in a cosmetic sense though.
I want to buy the Omnia pillow but I’m assuming I can’t use my silk pillow cases with it. Do I need to buy their ones?
The Omnia pillow comes with a fitted pillowcase which is made from tencel so silk-like but not quite as smooth. You could use your silk pillowcase over it and see how you get on. It won't be fitted but will still be silk : )
You can buy a silk fabric and sew it yourself if you know how to do it, or ask a friend who knows or a sewer. That's what I do and it's way cheaper than the crazy price it's sold at...
OMG, your face have more volume! How did you get this increase in fat on your face? Looks good!
Oh, thank you! I did use Adipeau's fat renewal cream for six months which definitely helped improve volume but I also think collagen supplements have been beneficial. I still use my little Phoenix microcurrent roller a few times a week, and I add red light in once a week so it's a few things that add up I think : )
@@thehonestchannel Thank you very much for sharing, that's very helpful! You really look amazing with a fuller face, take care of it. It's more dynamic and full of new life! :)
@@zuma5443 Bless you! x
@@thehonestchannel will you post your 6 months results with Adipeau? Do you recommend the cream?
I have the sleep and glow pillow and I can't use it because it has a strong chemical smell that never went away. Am I the only one that can smell it?
I didn’t notice a smell. I would definitely return it to them and either ask for a refund or a replacement.
I think you are right. All memory foam and all foam outgases constantly...they are petroleum products and you are breathing and absorbing those games constantly. Bad idea.
Doesn’t sleeping on your back increase chances of brain disease.
Does sleeping on the side promote brain health, or mitigate further risk?
I have read there are studies that show that about sleeping on your back. Does sound a little scary.
"Raising the head of your bed even slightly with a foam wedge or pillows may improve blood flow and oxygen saturation in your brain."
Yes there's been some recent science around this, important to consider. I'm not sure if it's just been shown in animal studies or human ones too, about increasing risk of dementia if only sleeping on the back. I need to do more reading on it again.
just go to sleep and stop obsessing about wrinkles
😂😂😂
I’m really surprised that you over anyone else Iis advertising a product made in Russia.. lots of slimy dealings with the company. Deep dive to come soon I guess
I was assured their products are now made in Italy - if that's not the case I would like to know. But I don't advertise products, I discuss them. Saying I have a love-hate relationship with the pillow is hardly a ringing endorsement!
@@thehonestchannel Yes, Italy. But why is it wrong to buy from Russia? These businesses have no control over what their goverment is doing, or am I missing something? I've seen so many Russian citizens getting hate just for being Russian. It makes no sense to me.
@@Lulu-xl5cmexactly. Hatred for white Christians like Russians is apparently acceptable these days. If they were bad mouthing Asians or Hispanics etc these same people would be screaming racism.
Your channel is not honest at all! I bought this pillow after you recommended I still get up with sleep wrinkles! The reason is simple: when you sleep, you move around and it's impossible to sleep all the time only where the "hole" is. It's a waste of money, I'm going to return mine, beware: you still have to pay for shipping. I'm so disappointed, marketing and empty promises again😢
I still use mine every night and still see a big improvement in eye puffiness because of it. We're all different and there's absolutely no need to call someone dishonest for sharing their own individual experience. It's a best-seller for a reason.
