I still struggle with acne despite following a certain diet, investing in acne-friendly skincare, and consulting with dermats time and again. But thanks to Tara Sutaria, I’ve found a solution. Tara’s revelation has relieved my skin from random bouts of acne, and it’s the simplest advice I’ve had to follow.
Sutaria simply asks you to change your pillowcases time and again. Why, though? Here’s all you need to know.
Why Change Your Pillowcase?
All that dirt and oil build-up from your face will transfer onto your pillowcase overnight; eventually irritating your skin, congesting your pores, and leading to or intensifying your acne. The build-up includes dandruff, sweat, earwax, skincare, and makeup amongst other things. That doesn’t sound very ideal, does it?
Another reality is the existence of dust-mites, that feed on dead (skin) cells and by default, accumulate on your pillowcases. This is unsanitary, but that’s not where it ends. These mites even leave behind their excrement on the pillowcase — which is an allergen and can set off a reaction on your skin.
The Best Kind Of Pillowcase Material
The best material to opt for is silk; which reduces friction between your skin or hair and the pillow. For the hair, this means lesser frizz, split ends, and breakage. For the skin, it means lesser tugging on the face since the material is softer and gentler in general. This minimises signs of ageing like wrinkles and fine lines. Silk is hypoallergenic too; meaning that it won’t cause a reaction on the skin.
The bottom line is that you ought to switch your pillowcase, regardless of the material, once or twice a week to maintain the health of your skin and hair.
For better, undisturbed sleep, you can try these:
