Many of us are not changing our pillowcases enough and dirty pillowcases can be causing or exasperating inflammation and acne. If you are struggling with breakouts or acne of any kind, change your pillowcases daily! Yes, daily. Change them like your underwear! Overnight, our skin and hair secrete sebum, oils, and dead cells as the body works to repair and rejuvenate.

How often are you really changing your pillowcases? Think about it – kinda yuck!! Even if you don’t go as far as changing them daily, please consider changing them more often! Your skin will thank you.

Lately I have been loving these chic and cute silk pillowcases from Kitch – they are under $25 – (great value) and I have a code (ASHLEYBYRDKNAPP15) if you’re interested in saving a little bit of $ (obvi!).

Huge fan of silk pillowcases because they are great for both skin and hair! The silk pillowcases work for anti-aging and reduction of wrinkles!!

A silky smooth surface with very little friction means less tugging on the skin than with a traditional cotton pillowcase. Reason enough for me to make the switch. I’m using all silk now.

Silk is less apt to absorb moisture from our skin and/or hair, leaving the skincare creams, treatments or oils on the face while we sleep to work their magic instead of rubbing off on the pillowcase.

Lastly, it’s great for hair because it does not pull or tug on hair or create bedhead like traditional cotton does. I even switched Vivienne to silk pillowcases – she was waking up with major knots in her hair because she moves around a ton while she sleeps – it helped majorly and she loves the way they feel. Hair glides over the silk instead of creating the friction and bedhead vibes.

This is a fairly simple and low cost way to improve your sleep / skin / hair / habits that I hope you put to use and enjoy!
