Acne and sensitive skin can be frustrating, especially when you don’t realize that your pillowcase might be contributing. Every night, your face rests on a surface that absorbs oil, sweat, skincare, and bacteria — all of which can irritate skin and worsen breakouts over time.
High-quality silk pillowcases have become a favorite among dermatologists, beauty experts, and skincare enthusiasts. But how exactly do they benefit acne and sensitive skin? Let’s explore.
Less Friction, Less Irritation
Silk’s smooth, luxurious surface allows your skin to glide over it with minimal tugging. This reduces inflammation and irritation, which is particularly helpful for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Naturally Hypoallergenic
Our 100% mulberry silk pillowcases are naturally resistant to dust mites and allergens. A cleaner sleeping surface means fewer triggers for irritation and breakouts.
Keeps Skincare Where It Belongs
Unlike cotton, silk doesn’t absorb your serums or oils. Your nightly skincare stays on your face, helping your skin remain hydrated and allowing active ingredients to work effectively.
Temperature-Regulating Comfort
Silk naturally stays cool to the touch. By keeping your skin comfortable and reducing nighttime sweating, it helps prevent excess oil buildup that can contribute to acne.
