As much as we’d hope, those stubborn lines that appear after a night of sleep aren’t just temporary impressions—they’re called SLEEP WRINKLES, and over time, they can become a permanent part of your face—especially if you love sleeping on your stomach or side.
Sleep wrinkles are different from expression lines.
While expression lines are caused by the repetitive muscle movements we make throughout the day—like smiling or frowning—sleep wrinkles form when our skin is compressed against a pillow as we sleep.
When the skin is repeatedly pressed in the same way each night, these wrinkles start to make their way into the deeper layers of the skin. And as our skin loses elasticity as we age, it also loses the ability to bounce back from the pressure of a good night’s sleep, making sleep wrinkles more pronounced and sometimes, permanent.
You wake up one morning, grab your favorite morning drink, and catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror. You notice faint lines running vertically across your cheeks and along your forehead. They’re not the usual crow's feet or laugh lines you’ve grown accustomed to—they’re something new, something that wasn’t there before.
But you ignore them, thinking they must have appeared when you were sleeping, and that they will disappear by the time your drink is over. And then you forget about what you saw in the mirror.
Over time, you start to realize that these lines are more noticeable on one side of your face—the side you usually sleep on. That’s when it hits you: These aren’t just any wrinkles. These are sleep wrinkles, and they’re here to stay unless you take action.
As subtle as they may seem at first, sleep wrinkles can gradually deepen and make your aging, maturing skin look more aged, dull, and tired than it really is.
Taking steps to prevent them can help keep your skin looking youthful and radiant, even as the number of candles on your birthday cake keep increasing every year.
Some people resort to using facial tape to prevent sleep wrinkles, believing that by keeping the skin in place as they sleep, they can avoid the creasing that occurs during the night. While this method might sound practical, it often falls short. The tape can irritate the skin, especially for those with sensitive or mature skin, and it doesn't add any nutrients to your skin.
Moreover, repeatedly applying and removing tape can damage the skin's delicate barrier, leading to dryness, irritation, and even more wrinkles over time. It's a short-term fix with potential long-term harm - which is why we don’t recommend it.
Sleeping on silk pillowcases may sound incredibly lush and luxurious, but are they really the best solution to sleep wrinkles? It is claimed that silk pillowcases - due to their smooth surface - reduce friction and prevent the formation of lines. However, while they may be softer on the skin, they don’t entirely eliminate the pressure that leads to sleep wrinkles.
Plus, they can be quite expensive, and there’s no guarantee they’ll provide the results you’re looking for. Instead of relying on costly bedding that might offer minimal benefit and no additional nutrients to your skin, it is better to opt for a solution that works with your skin's natural aging process by giving it the nutrients it really needs to remain soft, smooth, and youthful.
Some people turn to skin-tightening procedures, such as lasers or radiofrequency treatments, in hopes of erasing sleep wrinkles and firming up sagging skin. While these treatments can be effective, they are often invasive, expensive, and require multiple sessions to see lasting results. And then more sessions to maintain those results. But they don’t prevent new wrinkles from forming. So you end up needing more sessions, and the costs can add up quickly.
Instead of these expensive procedures that may or may not give you your desired results, more holistic approaches that enhance your aging skin’s natural resilience and beauty without the risks associated with medical procedures are far better and long-lasting.
In case you didn't know, slugging is the practice of applying a thick layer of occlusive products like petroleum jelly to lock in moisture. Slugging and petroleum jelly have gained popularity as a way to protect the skin barrier, lock in moisture, and prevent wrinkles while sleeping.
However, while slugging can be beneficial for extremely dry skin, it’s not ideal for everyone, especially those with sensitive skin that is prone to clogged pores or acne. Also, petroleum jelly is a by-product of the oil industry. Does it really sound like something you should be slathering on your skin?
Additionally, petroleum-based products can create a heavy, sticky residue that isn’t pleasant to sleep in. While occlusives can keep aging, dry skin moisturized through the night, a lighter, more breathable, natural skincare solution that nourishes and hydrates the skin without the drawbacks of something like petroleum jelly is a much better alternative, especially to fight the look of sleep wrinkles.
Hydration and moisture are essential in the fight against sleep wrinkles, particularly for your aging skin, which naturally becomes drier. While regular moisturizers might provide temporary relief, they often lack the deep nourishment needed to truly support mature skin.
Many drugstore and luxury moisturizers are filled with synthetic ingredients that sit on the skin's surface, providing a quick fix without addressing the actual hydration needs of aging skin.
On the other hand, natural, AYURVEDIC MOISTURIZERS are formulated with rare, time-honored botanicals that go deep to nourish the skin and help to restore its natural barrier. These potent, plant-based ingredients work in harmony with the skin, providing long-lasting hydration and promoting a supple, youthful appearance, free from the look of sleep wrinkles and other signs of aging.
While slugging is an effective way to fight the formation of the appearance of sleep wrinkles, when it comes to aging skin, choosing an Ayurvedic moisturizer is what will give you real, long-lasting results - free from the side effects that are associated with petroleum jelly.
Hydrated skin appears fuller, more supple, and youthful looking, which can reduce the prominent look of fine lines and wrinkles by filling in the spaces where wrinkles form.
Adequate moisture helps maintain the appearance of skin’s elasticity, making it feel more resilient and less prone to prominent looking wrinkles.
Skin that is moisturized looks and feels soft and smooth. This smooth texture can also make existing wrinkles appear less noticeable.
Hydration strengthens the skin’s natural barrier, protecting it from external factors that can accelerate aging and wrinkle formation.
Dry skin is more prone to cracking and fine lines, so the right moisturizer can prevent these issues from developing or worsening.
The heavy, impermeable layer of petroleum jelly can prevent the skin from performing its natural functions, such as shedding dead skin cells and renewing itself. This can lead to a buildup of dead skin, which can make the skin look dull and may contribute to further breakouts.
Unlike nature-based skincare products that offer nutrients and antioxidants, petroleum jelly does not provide any nourishment to the skin. It simply acts as a barrier without delivering the vitamins or other beneficial compounds that aging skin needs to stay healthy and resilient.
While the thick barrier created by petroleum jelly’s highly occlusive nature can lock in moisture, it can also trap dirt, bacteria, and sebum inside the pores. This can lead to clogged pores, which may cause blackheads, whiteheads, breakouts, and irritate your skin further.
Petroleum jelly does not actually hydrate the skin; it only prevents moisture from escaping. If applied to dry skin without a prior layer of hydration, it can create a temporary feeling of smoothness while underlying dryness persists, leading to long-term issues with skin hydration and elasticity.

Unlike petroleum jelly, Cleanalyn is formulated using natural, pure, rare, and potent Ayurvedic herbs and oils that have consistently proven to be effective for over 5000 years. Cleanalyn is not a waste by-product; its ingredients list includes carefully selected 100% natural ingredients that work to deeply moisturize and hydrate dehydrated, aging skin.
Speaking of a unique ingredients list, Cleanalyn is the only product of its kind in the world. Among the powerful 100% natural ingredients that make it suitable for slugging and for reducing the appearance of sleep wrinkles are:
Eladi Oil: (which contains a whole host of Ayurvedic herbs)
Dwiharidradi Oil
Jyatyadi Oil
NO natural jelly, yes, NONE exists that’s made of not one or two but THREE traditional, classic Ayurvedic oils!
Each oil is first made laboriously with several herbs being cooked into it over days of preparation and only then added to the formula.
The three oils mentioned above are made using a 5000-year-old method called ‘Taila-Paak-Vidhi' or the ‘Oil-Cooking-Method', where whole herbs/relevant parts of the herb are first washed, dried, powdered and then pounded into a paste. That paste is then cooked into the oil for hours manually and then that oil is strained.
Cleanalyn is packed with the promise of Ayurveda and as this testimonial shows, it actually delivers on those promises:
“I can't believe I finally found a product that makes a difference even 24 hours after I use it. I just want to pet my face and feel the smoothness... the jelly is my 4 ever friend. At 63 I learned something new. I plan to get more of these products SOON. I had a little facial party with friends and shared mine... it was a big hit...3 ladies ordered immediately. Fun”
-Eileen R., 63
