It's easy to overlook the negative effects of cotton pillowcases on our health and beauty. But when you consider the following, you might want to think twice before choosing cotton over silk:
1. Damages your skin
Cotton fibers can cause friction and tugging on your skin, leading to wrinkles, fine lines and other signs of aging. This can damage your skin, leaving it dry and dull.
2. Ruins your hair
Cotton fibers are rough and can cause friction and tugging on your hair, leading to tangles, breakage and split ends. This can damage your hair, leaving it dry and dull.
3. Absorbs moisture
Cotton is a natural material that absorbs moisture, oils, and bacteria from your skin and hair. This can lead to acne, infection, and other skin problems. It can also dry out your hair, leaving it brittle and prone to breakage.
4. Allergenic
Cotton is not hypoallergenic, which can be a problem for people with sensitive skin or allergies. Dust mites and other allergens can thrive in cotton fibers, leading to allergic reactions and asthma symptoms.
5. Bacteria-friendly
Sleeping on a cotton pillowcase can have negative effects on your hair, skin, and overall health. To avoid this, cotton pillowcases have to be washed frequently to maintain hygiene, which can be time-consuming and costly.
