IS YOUR PILLOWCASE CONTRIBUTING TO YOUR ACNE?
HOW YOUR PILLOWCASE CONTRIBUTES TO YOUR ACNE
Pillowcases, like clothing, will retain dirt and oils from the skin
If pillowcases are not washed consistently the built up dirt and oil will redistribute onto the skin creating more breakouts
TIPS FOR PREVENTION
WASH PILLOWCASES EVERY TWO TO THREE DAYS
Washing your pillowcase every two to three days makes sure that oil and dirt does not build up within the cloth
If washing your pillowcase every two to three days is not feasible, placing a clean towel over the pillow will suffice
AVOID LIQUID DETERGENTS AND DRYER SHEETS
Liquid detergents and dryer sheets can create a waxy build up on the pillowcase
The waxy build up from these products can cause pores to blocked further, resulting in more breakouts
WASH YOUR FACE BEFORE GOING TO BED
Washing your face before bed ensures that the dirt and oil accumulated throughout the day does not go back onto your pillowcase
This keeps your pillowcase clean for longer periods of time, which ensures that dirt and oil will not redistribute onto your face
