@@DrDrayzdaythanks to a video of yours some time ago I 1) fixed my position while checking my phone and 2) got convinced to get the Omnia pillow. Huge difference in the appearance of the wrinkles in my neck. Needles to say, SPF everyday and I also wear an UPF 50 gaiter while outdoors.
Agreed, Uncle Charlie! I cringe when I see people walking or sitting slouched over. My posture isn't perfect but I do try. That pillow sounds amazing! I'm a side sleeper. Always have been, always will be so it's nice to see side sleepers can use it. Happy Thursday! I hope you had a terrific day!! Peace, joy and many blessings to you, my friend. 🍂🕊🍂🙏🍂☕
@@marylawman8603 chiropractor Quantum neurologist I’ve seen over last 6 years has undone decades of results of heavy physical training. What I’ve experienced over these 6 years validates it’s legitimacy 100% I didn’t know that pillow had a version with the side walls might have to partake! Hope you had a nice day to God bless! ☀️🙏🙏🙏🤠
Sleeping on the left side is good for people with sleep apnea and digestive issues. It is also thought to help blood circulation. Side sleeping is also good for neck pain and back pain especially if you put a pillow between your knees.
I am months away from 65. I have been using good molecules retinol on my neck and decollate for a year now. The retinol I use on my face was far to irritating. My neck is looking great. I also use sunscreen daily. Many tips and tricks I obtained from your channel. So thank you
@@kajaltiwari2230Medic8 Crystal Retinal 10. I have no problem with it on my face. I tried using it on my neck and chest after a cream and it was still irritating. So the Good Molecules Gentle Retinol cream has made a huge difference. I use both each and every night. I remember when I was in my 20s having issues with acne and doctors told me that retinA thinned the skin. What a difference 4 decades make.
Ex-stomach sleeper. Now a side sleeper and have had a very hard time switching to sleeping on my back! Lower back starts hurting. I use the S&G Omina pillow which has helped my face creases a lot. I like that I was able to order additional pillow cases.
I struggle with neck problems & of course if a pillow will help with wrinkles then that’s an added bonus, so I was tempted by this pillow advertisement. I researched it & found reviews on Amazon with a large percentage of people not being happy with this pillow for various reasons & it’s manufactured in Russia. I will pass on purchasing it. 🇺🇦
Erase neck lines? I thought this was natural and everyone had it, like lines near wrist and elbows. I am currently 25 and i remember having them for as long as my memory goes back. I never thought this was something you can or should get rid of.
I hear a lot of people in the skin care industry speak of the benefits associated with a supine sleeping position, but I have recently read studies that suggest sleeping on your back is in fact the worst position (ie. glymphatic drainage and a connection to Alzheimer's disease). Can you comment on this? Are we putting beauty before health?
I do not have a tech neck, but I have a book neck :D I read so much and I cannot help it of looking down. I try to keep my head more up, but still... But I cannot give up on books. I love reading.
Same here. I have these wrinkles since I was a girl too. I read books all the time and will never stop! I also can’t sleep on my back at all. Sleep and reading books are important to me. I’ve come to accept these wrinkles lol.
While I'm not on my phone or tablet that much (compared to some people), I do read a lot and never thought that reading could contribute to neck wrinkles. Thanks so much for the information, Dr Dray. Happy Thursday! I hope you have a lovely evening. 💞
Yeah don't care as well. I thought this was natural and everyone had it. I am currently 25 and i remember having them for as long as my memory goes back. I never thought this was something you can or should get rid of.
As a lifetime stomach sleeper, after having major abdominal surgery, I learned to sleep on my back. I will sometimes wake up on my stomach, but my sleep creases are much better.
FWIW, you can buy a pair of small throw pillows for a couple of bucks and make one of those "back sleeping cradle" pillows. You could likely do the same to DIY the side sleeping pillows too. A pocket sewing kit and a normal pillow is far more accessible to start if you want to try a hollowed out pillow.
i don’t have the exact pillow mentioned but i got a curved memory pillow in my late teens & i hadn’t realised how bad a regular pillow had effected by neck during adolescence (likely including during growth). luckily there was no long term damage. my neck stiffness, cramps and pain greatly improved quickly. i had forgotten what my neck was supposed to feel like. even to this day (several years later) if i wake up in a weird position it still supports my neck so much better than a “normal” position on a regular pillow ever could. i couldn’t ever go stay overnight somewhere without my memory foam pillow anymore. i forgot to give gratitude to my pillow because i just got used to it so i appreciate the reminder!
Dr. Dray - I love and appreciate all your videos! I bought the Omnia pillow from Sleep and Glow and noticed that my neck has been stiff when I wake in the morning. I’ve been constantly using it for about 6 months now, in case the muscles around my neck need to adjust but it is still the same. I don’t know if having less wrinkles and puffiness in the face outweigh the horrendous stiff neck feeling throughout the day, but sadly I am not a fan of the pillow.
I have heard that silk pillow cases can also help with sleep wrinkles and also for better hair manageability. . I have a few from Mulberry and like them a lot.
I use the mulberry silk also! Totally got rid of sleep lines. Love them! Been working on sleeping on my back. Totally helps with neck pain. I use a gel wave pillow also.
I always slept on my side -mostly the left. I had lipo360 and a mini tuck and during recovery I had to sleep on my back. It’s been over a year and I haven’t slept on my side since. I actually can’t sleep on my side anymore. I have hooded lids so waking up puffy was just part of life for me. This video helped me realize I haven’t woken up puffy ever since that surgery! 2 added bonus’s!
I recently bought the Gold Bond Age Renew neck and chest firming cream. I'm not expecting miracles, but I'm trying to do all that I can to keep that area looking young. Of course, sun protection is the major factor here! Thank you for all that you do, doctor!
I am catching up on some of the recent videos that I’ve missed, and I heard this sentence that’s totally print-worthy and explains it all: ‘The skin is a window to all of life’s problems’.👏👏👏 Thank you for educating all of us❤
Good lord. The pillow is over $200 and pillow-case is $65 😶 I hate my neck wrinkles (since I was a kid) but I can't afford that. I have been using medical tape (3m pore tape) across neck wrinkles and a soft neck brace ($10) to sleep at night, and a firmer neck brace ($15) while reading to stop myself crunching my neck. Hasn't made them go away but has made them less noticeable.
It's Maria - Emma I also thought to use neck brace. But that neck tape to stop the skin from wrinkling is GENIUS 🤩👏. I've never used that tape. Hope 🤞it doesn't irritate my skin.
I recently heard side sleeping helps neurological brain health… in late age most people wont care what I look like. But I think I’ll care more about brain health. So side sleeping it is! ❤🎉
I purchased a night cream just to apply to the neck area Lol! I noticed those neck lines just recently. Thank you doctor Dray! how did you know I need this! such a great timing!
I was wondering what the difference in posture is between readers and cellphone users. I'm glad you mentioned it. So bookworms can end up with the same problem!
I also used to sleep on my stomach, but could never now. Somehow I migrated to sleeping on my back, and find it comfortable, but cannot for the life of me find a comfortable pillow! I’ve tried every kind. We need “orthotic” pillows, made to order. Though, truth be told, tech neck could be partially to blame 😬
I had tech neck way before I even had a smart phone 😂. I always have been reading a lot of books and no matter if I read at table or from my couch or bed, there's no way I can avoid that posture and holding the book higher. Too uncomfortable.
Good morning Doctor Andrea these days I'm actually trying to change my side sleep position to back position which is recommended by most orthopedic doctors and physicians but hearing from you that side sleeping is fine as well as long as the neck and the overall position is well and surreal 😅😊❤. I'm a big fan of having a good pillow and mattress as well because these two provide as combo synergy so benign and beneficial for our whole body ❤.
After having major spine surgery for scoliosis, I was unable to sleep on my side due the presence of so many screws in the sides of my spine (from T2 to L5)! That was five years ago, and I’ve slept on my back ever since!
My neck wrinkles have gotten considerably worse since C-vid. I'm sure it's compression wrinkles from sitting on my couch and working on my laptop. Apparently I have Poikiloderma of Civatte. I thought it might be Vitiligo since it's white on my throat and brown on the edges (like the first pic). I asked the dermatologist and he just told me it was where I had been very good about putting sunscreen on that area for years and my chin shading my neck in that area. Now I know what it really is.
I will be 71 in November, by using retinol e led therapy it helps a lot on me! But consider that since long everything I apply on my face I slap on neck and decoltage 😊
Most health website recommend sleeping in your side… NOT on your back. Supposedly, sleeping on your back may impact the level of risk a senior has for developing a neurological disease like Alzheimers . Also I’m pretty sure that pillows and sleeping positions have nothing to do with wrinkles in general at all. You can get temporary lines on your body and face that go away in the same day, but actual wrinkles? No.
I've always had lines on my kneck tbh, I can't remember not having them. Two lines shaped like a chocker. Doesn't reall bother me and I never thought anyone noticed it, but one time a little kid touched my kneck and asked me about it and just said I was and old lady but I was only 20 lol. I kinda wonder if anything could get rid of them but I don't think so unless I had some kinda surgery.
Hello Dr Dray, do you have an opinion on using microneedling on the neck and for crepy skin on the upper arms? Thanks for all the helpful advice you give to us daily.
@@froufou100 actually, you reminded me of a microneedling treatment I had on my neck when in my 50's....all the crepy lines disappeared and results lasted many years. Now in my 60's, that treatment does nothing for me.
I think it might be hereditary as well, I'm nearly 60 and don't have any lines...but then again i have been using Retina-A since i was in my late teens, thank you Dr. Savin. ;)
A really underrated product I’ve found is Olay Sensitive Skin lotion (6oz) for the face. It’s like $10 and is a great dupe for CeraVe pm moisturizer. Would love a take from you on it, dr dray!
Yes! Would also be a great dupe for CeraVe, and for those who don’t want HA in their skin care. It has Niacinmide, panthenol, glycerin listed as some of its ingredients.
If you can’t afford the $200.. The dollar store sells these sometimes. They’re baby position pillows. So the infant doesn’t roll Lots of tutorials also to make one yourself doing different sizes and shapes. Can be used as airplane pillows if you do the boppy shaped ones.. you can probably make one yourself also if you buy rolled pillows.. put a bit of fabric between them sewn or put them in a large pillow case sewn or zipped in. Costco sells good pillows.. just cut them. I remember when I was in physical therapy everything they had us using was rolled towels. You can make anything with towels. 😂 The towels are most hygienic because you wash them entirely and most people will have those on hand already
For some reason that sleep & glow with the bolsters pillow caused me to have intense jaw pain. I can’t sleep in one position, I have to change positions very frequently. I really wish it would have kept me sleeping on my back. I think I ended up sleeping on my side on the bolster.
I recently got the OmnixLux neck red-light mask and it irritated my neck and chest so badly. I have to return the device. It's strange because I have the face one and have no issues with it. I know skin is not created equally, and the neck is a sensitive area. I do find it interesting because my neck can handle retinol with zero irritation.
I have Poikiloderma of Civatte. It has made my neck extremely sensitive. So much so that even my hair touching my neck causes irritation. Feels like barbed spider webs.
I do too. I can’t put any retinols, vit C, AHA etc on my neck and chest or it will be fire for days. For myself, I have found La Roche-Posey Cicaplast works great. I also use a DNA repairing sunscreen. Whether that does any real repair I couldn’t say, but this combo has drastically reduced the redness and itching. I imagine any cream with cica like The LRP or Avene might work the same.
Good suggestions, however I think the word for the theme should be replaced by "to prevent" not "to erase" lines. Once they are there none of these things will reverse them back, only (and maybe) surgery. I like your tips ❤
Would you consider doing a video on the UpCircle brand? They’re committed to non-plastic packaging and actually reasonably priced. I would love to know which products you think are especially good!
Thank you for this video! This is something I’ve been self conscious about lately. Also, the audio sounds a little more harsh than usual. I have trouble watching videos where you use that mic because it’s a little too overpowering. Just so you know ☺️💜
I find sleeping on the back gives me numb sensation on my sides not comfortable at all. Plus i remember when pregnant doctors saying don’t sleep on your back!!! Now I see why
Greetings Dr Dray hope u r well n 🖐Hello Every1 n Happy Thursday😀n what a Wonderful Vid….thanks n This is Gonna b so Helpful🔥👍n Continued Blessings to All💜….
I think I know the answer to this, but is there any benefit to using neck frownies once a week? I'd buy and use them daily (I'm sure that would actually help) but they're very expensive.
Unfortunately, during pregnancy you are advised to sleep on your side. Sleeping on your back is a huge no, no, especially towards the end of the second trimester.
Yes but there are folks who can't sleep on their back no matter how much they try or who just don't want to and even the side sleeper pillow is supposed to help with the wrinkles by keeping your face from being smooshed.@@veronicaivanova
Same! I tried it for months and just got sleep deprived. Now I still try it, or lay on my side first and try to switch to my back the moment I fall a sleep… it takes ages though 😖
