A method and article of manufacture for reducing facial wrinkles, namely sleep lines, formed during sleep. The article is formed having an inner and outer surface wherein each surface has higher or lower friction coefficients relative to one another. The higher friction coefficient inner surface holds the article in place against the skin and the lower friction coefficient outer surface facilitates movement of the face relative to the bedding during sleep.

1. An article of manufacture for preventing or reducing sleep line formation during sleep, wherein said article is a headband adapted to be worn on a head of a user and extend completely around the head of the user for preventing or reducing sleep lines on a forehead area of the user, said headband consisting of a forehead cover portion having an inner surface adapted to contact facial skin of a user and an outer surface contacting bedding, during sleep, whereby the inner surface has a friction coefficient relatively higher than a friction coefficient for the outer surface such that the higher friction coefficient facilitates maintaining position of the article relative to facial skin during sleep, and the outer surface facilitates movement relative to the bedding during sleep, whereby the relative movement prevents or reduces compression of the facial skin against the bedding; andat least one strap so that the article extends completely around the head of the user for securing the article in position on the head of a user wherein the forehead cover portion is substantially rectangular and has a length and width wherein the length is adapted to extend from a right temple area of a user to the left temple area of the user and width is adapted to extend extends from about the brow line to about the hairline of the user. 2. The article of claim 1 wherein the strap is elastic. 3. The article of claim 1 wherein the strap is adjustable in length. 4. The article of claim 3 wherein the adjustable strap comprises an adjustable connecting means selected from a clip, snap, hook, lacing, and hook-and-loop material. 5. The article of claim 1 wherein the outer surface comprises a material or fiber selected from silk, satin, polyester, and rayon. 6. An article of manufacture for preventing or reducing sleep line formation during sleep, wherein said article is a headband adapted to be worn on a head of a user and extend completely around the head of the user for preventing or reducing sleep lines on a forehead area of the user, said article consisting of a forehead cover portion which is substantially rectangular and has a length and width adapted to extend from a right temple area of a user to the left temple area of the user and from about the brow line to about the hairline of the user, said forehead portion having an inner surface adapted to contact facial skin of a user and an outer surface contacting bedding, during sleep, whereby the inner surface has a friction coefficient relatively higher than a friction coefficient for the outer surface such that the higher friction coefficient facilitates maintaining position of the article relative to facial skin during sleep, and the outer surface facilitates movement relative to the bedding during sleep, whereby the relative movement prevents or reduces compression of the facial skin against the bedding;at least one strap so that the article extends completely around the head of the user; andat least one of an eye cover for blocking ambient light, a cheek or jowl cover portion, a chin cover portion or a lip strap. 7. The article of claim 6 wherein the strap is elastic. 8. The article of claim 6 wherein the strap is adjustable in length. 9. The article of claim 8 wherein the adjustable strap comprises an adjustable connecting means selected from a clip, snap, hook, lacing, and hook-and-loop material. 10. A method for preventing or reducing sleep line facial wrinkles resulting from compression of facial skin against bedding during sleep, said method comprising: providing an article of manufacture which is a headband adapted to be worn on a head of a user for preventing or reducing sleep lines on a forehead area of the user, said headband consisting of: a forehead cover portion which is substantially rectangular and has a length and width adapted to extend from a right temple area of a user to the left temple area of the user and from about the brow line to about the hairline of the user, said forehead portion having an inner surface adapted to contact facial skin of a user and an outer surface contacting bedding, during sleep, whereby the inner surface has a friction coefficient relatively higher than a friction coefficient for the outer surface such that the higher friction coefficient facilitates maintaining position of the article relative to facial skin during sleep, and the outer surface facilitates movement relative to the bedding during sleep; andat least one strap so that the article extends completely around the head of the user for securing the article in position on the head of a userplacing, before sleep, the article in position to cover an area of the face susceptible to sleep line formation; andwearing the article during sleep. 11. The method of claim 10 wherein the strap is adjustable in length. 12. The method of claim 10, further comprising application of a wrinkle serum onto the facial skin prior to placing the article into position.
