Women who want to avoid wrinkles should dress like boxers when they go to
bed, claims Michel Ionescu, a French inventor. He says that sleeping on the face
causes bad circulation and blocks the airways, accelerating skin ageing.
His solution is an 鈥渁natomic antiwrinkle biocap鈥�, like a boxer鈥檚 head guard
(WO 97/43926). It has a padded ring around the forehead and a built-in pillow at
the back. If a wearer turns over onto his or her front in the night, the ring
pad makes it impossible for the nose or mouth to touch the pillow, keeping the
airways open.
