These products claim to reduce wrinkles and improve the appearance of your skin.
What if preventing wrinkles and other skin problems were as easy as
going to sleep each night? A new and noteworthy trend is metal-infused
linens, which claim to reduce acne, minimize wrinkles, and improve your
skin -- all you have to do is sleep on them!

Copper-infused sheets and pillowcases have been around for a few
years, but now silver-infused linens are gaining popularity. Both of
these metals have antimicrobial properties -- meaning they kill bacteria
on contact -- so sleeping on infused sheets not only keeps your bed
fresh longer, but it could potentially solve some of your biggest skin
woes.
Look at it this way: If
you're sleeping on a dirty pillowcase, the dirt and bacteria that's
accumulated on the fabric can seep into your pores, causing acne,
wrinkles, and other symptoms of premature aging. According to the American Society For Microbiology,
dry copper is extremely effective at killing unwanted bacteria, so it
makes sense that having metal woven into your pillow could benefit your
skin.
Researchers tested this theory, and it held up -- a study published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science
showed that people who slept on a copper-infused pillowcase for a month
saw a significant reduction in facial wrinkles and crow's feet, as well
as an improvement in the overall appearance of their skin.

These linens aren't the only way you can test of the benefits of
copper or silver, though. There are many new skincare products infused
with small amounts of these elements. You can even try a metal-infused
eye mask. Either way, it seems like an easy strategy to maintain
healthy, glowing skin!
