Drinking coffee or tea through a straw can keep you from getting stains on your teeth, but it may cause lines to form around your lips. Although it won’t change your lips significantly, people who are prone to lip wrinkling should avoid using straws really often. The repetitive muscle motion breaks down the collagen around your mouth, leading to more creases.
6. Sleeping on your side
Some sleeping postures can cause your skin to form wrinkles. If you sleep on your side or on your stomach, your face is being pressed into your pillow, causing your skin to fold. The best way to avoid “sleep lines” is by sleeping on your back.
7. Wearing a sleep mask
The skin around your eyes is very delicate and prone to damage. Some sleep masks may traumatize it and cause inflammation, which can eventually cause wrinkles. If you wear a sleep mask to bed, make sure it’s loose and doesn’t pull or stretch the skin.
8. Wearing contact lenses
When we put in contacts, we often raise our brows. This repetitive movement causes the skin on our forehead to wrinkle. Unlike glasses, contact lenses don’t protect the skin around the eyes from UV rays, which eventually leads to wrinkles and thinning skin.
