What is the connection between pillow covers and skin?

Geetika has also shown a diagram in the post. In this diagram, he has shown how the pillow cover can contain many harmful substances like dust particles, dirt, oil, pet hair, dead skin, and bacteria. All these can lead to skin breakouts, even if you follow a proper skincare routine. He also emphasized how using silk pillowcases can improve the skin. Even its use can help in hair health.

According to the report of Healthline, a clinical study conducted in the US states that the problem of pimples was found less in people using silk bedsheets as compared to those using cotton bedsheets. It has also been said in the study that this is also because silk is soft and smooth for the skin as compared to other fabrics. Also, it absorbs less oil from our faces instead of cotton.
