Not many people think about it, but the kind of pillowcase that you use can affect your skin in a big way, especially if you have sensitive skin. You see, while cotton pillowcases may feel soft and snuggly, they can actually be rough on your skin. That’s because cotton is a natural fiber that can irritate sensitive skin, leading to redness, itching, and, yes, even breakouts. If you do have skin sensitivities (like myself), then I recommend trying out a Silk fabric pillowcase, instead.

The hazards of cotton for sensitive skin

Pillowcases made of cotton can appear benign, but they are actually quite the nemesis for sensitive skin. The fibers of cotton are coarse, which creates a sand paper like effect on your skin as you sleep. This is known to cause irritation and redness and can even lead to breakouts, especially if your skin is already sensitive. Moreover, cotton is absorbent and retains oils and dirt that could be irritating to your skin. If you often wake up to irritated, red skin, your cotton pillowcase could be the culprit.

Not to mention, cotton is absorbent and can absorb oily, dirt & dust as well, not contributing any more to your skin.
