How do I choose the best pillowcase for acne?

Do you want to make your skin feel softer and easier to manage your acne? You can start with the linen closet.  

Your pillowcase is extremely important. Some pillowcases are harmful to acne treatment while others can be more beneficial.  

Kiss cotton goodbye  

Cotton is excellent for absorbing water from a bath or shower, but not for pillows. You can still use the oil in your pillowcase every night. Pillowcases made of cotton can be contaminated by bacteria, dirt, or allergens.  

 Pillowcases made from cotton can cause irritation to sensitive skin. This can lead to more severe acne and make it easier for you to get new breakouts.  

 Cotton or other absorbent fabrics such as microfiber and hemp can take away any moisturizers or serums you apply at night.  

 These fabrics aren't the only ones. Silk and bamboo are more suitable for acne-prone skin because they are lighter and more absorbent.   

Think smooth  

 Silk and satin are skin-saving materials because they don't irritate the skin as much as other materials.

Acne lesions need not be painful. "Rough fabrics can worsen acne lesions and increase the likelihood of breakouts."  

Smooth fabrics are also less likely to wrinkle or crease skin than cotton fibers. Because they are less friction, they are gentler for hair. Your hair will look silkier with a  silk pillowcase.  

Silk or satin? Which is better?  

These fabrics can be either soft or slippery but the winner is always the best. Silk is best for patients suffering from sensitive skin. Silk is a 100% pure, natural fiber that is superior to other fabrics. Silk is breathable, smooth, and does not harbor bacteria.  

Satin can be machine washed and can be as affordable as silk. Satin today is made of a combination of silk and other fibers. Synthetic satin is soft, supple, and absorbs more water than silk.  

Bamboo: What you pay is what you get  

Bamboo pillowcases have a luxurious feel and resist moisture. However, they are more expensive than pure Silk. Bamboo pillowcases are cheaper but more absorbent than pure silk. 


Silver doesn't beat silk  

Anti-acne pillows often have silver-coated threads woven in the fabric. These pillowcases may be more effective than plain cotton, even though silver is well-known as having antibacterial properties. More research is needed. It isn't clear whether silver is superior to silk.  

Tips for caring for your pillowcase or your face  

  These are the best tips for keeping your pillowcase clean no matter what brand you use.    
  •    Keep your pillowcase clean Wash your cotton pillowcases at least once every two to three days. Your silk pillowcases should be changed every two weeks. Silk is resistant to dirt and oil so it will last longer between washings. To wash silk pillowcases, follow the instructions on the tag.   
  •   
  •    You might want to consider a product that kills bacteria. Every day, spray your pillowcase with lavender and tea tree oil spray. Tea tree oil is well-known for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. These sprays can prolong the life of your pillowcase.   
  •   
  •    Make sure to wash your face well before going to bed. Avoid clogging pores with a mild, non-irritating cleanser.   
  •   
  •    Use moisturizer before bed. Acne creams and retinol creams can cause skin irritation. A moisturizer that is suitable for your skin can help prevent irritation and dry skin. For hydration, silk pillowcases are a good choice.
