The Best Pillowcase for Acne

 



1. What is the best type of pillowcase for acne?

Silk pillowcases 
"Silk pillowcases are great for sensitive and acne-prone skin because they're lightweight, breathable, and non-irritating,” says Dr. King. The natural material does not absorb moisture or products, which can help keep pores clear.





2. Are silk pillowcases good for acne-prone skin?

Silk may present a kinder and cleaner surface for cradling your cheek. “Silk pillowcases are gentler on the skin of people with acne or sensitive skin than rough cotton pillowcases,” Harth explains. The friction from cotton on pimple-prone skin can create more inflammation, making acne worse.

3. Can pillowcases cause acne?

When not washed frequently, pillowcases contribute to acne breakouts because of the accumulation of bacteria, dirt, and oils. These come from the environment and from our own skin and hair from daily use. The irritation of your skin from contact with outside clothing is called acne mechanica.
