Exciting!

 I've been observing a little ritual for 5 nights and I am pretty happy with the visable results. I finally got serious about the sleep lines on my face, particularly the left side as I am, for the most part, a left side sleeper.

 An interesting aside: In Paris 1989, my husband and I lucked into staying in a real parisian apartment for 2 nights. The femme of the household - an old friend of my sister in law's -and I had a discussion about furrowing our faces into our pillows and whether or not we'd regret it.  For some reason we had determined that we both slept on our stomachs! She was skeptical but I remember thinking at the time that I should definitely change this bad habit. Fast forward to 2025 and I'm finally getting around to it. When you are pregnant you are advised to sleep on your left side, better for the both of you I guess! - and I got into that habit.

My one and a half years younger sister does not have the facial vertical lines that I have. She sleeps on her back and always has.

So, I put a pillow under my knees, silicone patches on my face and committed to sleeping sunny side up! Today I am blown away by the progress I've had in eradicating these sleep induced wrinkles/lines. I think the silicone patches (reusable) are very important - one line was only half covered last night and I can SEE the different in either side of the rivulet in my skin. It's incroyable!

Additionally when I sauna (in home, what a luxury) I gua sha and then microcurrent my face. This time of year I am taking a sauna 3 times a week so this is a consistant treatment. This week I've done this part of the ritual twice.
