A pillow to save your face

I stumbled across this on feelunique.com. It's called a 'Save My Face La Petite Satin Pillow Case' and has to be one of the most stupid things I've ever seen (and that's no small feat, I assure you). This warrants further investigations.

I go straight to the source - savemyface.com, and find this;
"The “Save My Face!”® Pillowette is a revolutionary beauty and health product for the 21st Century. It helps prevent wrinkling, improves nasal air flow that permits increased oxygenation of the body, eases aches and pains, and aids in cosmetic surgery recovery."
Not only that, it also "enhances the affects of expensive anti-aging facial creams and serums" and "prevents compression of skin tissues and muscles as well as Sinuses located in the face".

(note: I did not manipulate the font or amount of text set in bold to make it appear more stupid, though I understand why you might think so..)


How impressive is it that a piece of cloth can actually "enhance the affects of expensive anti-aging facial creams and serums"? And what's up with those "Sinuses"... and in what other places than the face does one normally find them? "Oh doctor, I can't move my leg!" "Yes, it appears you have a sinus infection."

For a company claiming to be located in California, I am not impressed.

Though I could be way off here - they do have special pillow doctors. And anyone knows a business with a pillow doctor is a business worth trusting!

    Well I stumbled across your blog and conclude your comments are naive and to say the least Stupid. Perhaps you should read the claims again or have an educated adult read and explain the details to you. Its clear to me that the purpose of this pillow (in its core design) is to avoid your face coming into contact with the pillow. This avoids sleep face ie lines and wrinkles that form after you have your face pressed into the pillow. This in itslef is a credible theory and considering that face creams are applied to the face which it then not in direct contact with the pillow supports the claim. And yes the sinuses are eased as the breathing process is eased in the elevated position.

  4. I would advice future visitors who may or may not be employed by the company in question, especially those who google "save my face pillowettes", to phrase their criticism in a slightly more intelligent way.

    A sentence like;
    "This in itslef is a credible theory and considering that face creams are applied to the face which it then not in direct contact with the pillow supports the claim"

    ...does not do you any favour.

    Especially for someone located in the UK.
