Duo Digest: Could Your Pillowcase Be the Reason for Breakouts?
You might be doing all the right things for your skin—but if you're waking up with breakouts, your pillowcase could be part of the problem.
1. Fabric + Frequency Matter
Your pillowcase collects oil, sweat, skincare residue, and bacteria night after night. If you’re not changing it at least twice a week, that build-up could be transferring right back to your skin, clogging pores and triggering irritation.
2. Choose the Right Material
Look for breathable, non-irritating fabrics like silk or tightly woven cotton. These help reduce friction, wick away moisture, and are less likely to harbour breakout-causing bacteria.
Small changes, big difference—especially when your skin spends 6–8 hours in contact with it.
