Over time, it can become severely dangerous by the fiction of the cotton. Further, when your collagen breaks down, it will lead to the occurrence of permanent wrinkles. Hence, either change your sleeping style or change your pillowcases to satin.
Sitting in the wrong position:
Many people sit in their happy position, slouching the body, and bending in chairs until that results in back pain. Additionally, people also use chairs that have 90 degree-angled backs; it directly impacts your spine. God hasn’t made our body to sit for long hours, bending towards the computer.
