Q. I am 33 years old. My problem is that,
although I sleep very well, for the first part of each day my face looks terribly old and haggard as though I have slept badly. I find myself
at a loss as to what to say when I run into friends and acquaintances in the early morning who, apparently shocked by my appearance. ask, 'Gosh, are you all right?' What is the dignified answer to such an inquiry?
E.H., London SW10 A. Many women do not realise that the sort of facial quilting you describe comes from incorrect sleeping habits. Those who fall into slumber with their faces pushed into a pillow and 'clenched' in the manner of someone waiting at a bus stop will suffer repercussions on the following day. The resultant creasing may not smooth out until mid-afternoon. Take a tip from some of our best-preserved septuagenarian beauties and train yourself to sleep on your back. You will soon see an end to these nuisance inquiries.
