Keep your hands off

Another common mistake we blindly make is to keep our hands pressed against the face while sleeping. Just like the thicker cotton sheets, our skin grips the rougher surfaces which causes wrinkles. One solution to this is to keep your hands under the pillow to avoid sleep wrinkles.

Change your pillow

Try to sleep on an elevated pillow or you can change your pillowcase is also another alternative to prevent sleep wrinkles. Fabrics make a huge difference to the skin and can be one mistake we make while sleeping. If you just cannot resist sleeping on your back, another way is to use silk pillowcases.
