How do you know your angle? It depends on which side of your face you sleep on

The side of your face you sleep on plays a significant role in your face’s shape, according to Vicki Belo. 

On Instagram, the 67-year-old celebrity doctor shared a hilarious video of herself hopping on the trend of using someone else’s clip to transition into your video on social media. On TikTok, several brands have used this trend to market their products. 

Instead of promoting a product or service, Vicki put her own spin on the trend and gave a trivia bit instead.

“Did you know that the shape of your face depends on which side you sleep on?” she said in the video. 

In the comments section, some netizens had their “Today I learned” moment, so in this GMA News Online interview, Belo expounded on the fact.

“This is true because if you keep sleeping on the same side of your face every single night for eight hours, then that side tends to be a little more flattened,” she said. 

“You’re pressing your face down, so your Nasolabial Folds or smile line will also be deeper on that side,” she added.

Symmetrical faces are a dime in a dozen. and while some are lucky enough to be born with it, Belo says they end up with asymmetrical faces because of their sleeping habits. 

“So, normally whatever side you sleep on is your bad side. Your good side will be the one you don’t sleep on,” she said.

Belo adds, the preferred sleeping position is to face up. 

“The best way to sleep is to put one pillow underneath your head while facing up,” she said adding sleeping with two pillows might result in a double chin. "Because you’re bending your chin the whole time,” she said.

Meanwhile, the doctor added it’s not advisable to sleep without pillows because "sleeping without pillows doesn’t give the lymphatic fluid a chance to drain by gravity" resulting in eye bags.

"One pillow is the best,” Belo said.

At 67, Belo has become one of today's most famous celebrity doctors. Aside from taking care of her showbiz clients, she constantly gives out skincare advice to her followers online.

She is married to Hayden Kho, and they have a daughter named Scarlet Snow.
