Yes, unfortunately, there has been some research done that confirms that frequent wearing of CPAP masks can cause a decrease in the quality of facial skin. This is due to your skin being tugged and pulled by the CPAP mask when you’re wearing it and when you’re putting it on and taking it off. When increased stress is put on the skin time and time again, it begins to wrinkle or cause fine lines.
Whilst the state of your health is more important than your appearance, we can sympathize with the fact that this mask can cause you to slightly wrinkle prematurely.
One way to decrease the risk of wrinkles when wearing a CPAP mask is by sleeping on your mask to prevent extra pulling on your skin from the mask and also finding a CPAP mask that doesn’t come into contact with much of your face to reduce the tugging action. Make sure to apply CPAP gel every time you go to sleep and start creating an anti-wrinkle skincare regime that you can follow to help prevent extra fine lines and wrinkles from emerging.
