When a new line shows up on your face, the blame usually goes to a skincare product that "stopped working" or a rough week at work - but your pillow could be the real culprit. A full third of your life is spent with your face pressed against fabric. That nightly contact between your skin and your pillowcase has a serious effect on your complexion.
