Abstract
A beauty pillow contains at least one open or concave area incorporated in a surface thereof. The area is shaped and dimensioned for a person to rest a region of delicate facial tissue thereover, and further is contoured not to touch or rub against the region of delicate facial tissue during normal usage. The pillow surrounding the open or concave area supports the bony structures of the skull and jaw, so that regions of delicate facial tissue remain unstressed and not wrinkled, especially during sleep.
