Pillow cover..
Beyond simply looking clean, I'll explain the importance of changing or laying out towels once a week from a medical and hygienic perspective.
1. Why do pillow covers become a breeding ground for germs?
The pillow is where our face and scalp, the oiliest parts of our body, come into contact for 7 to 8 hours every day.
Germ count: Studies have shown that poorly maintained pillowcases can harbor up to 90 times more bacteria than a toilet seat.
Main sources of pollution: Sweat, sebum, and dead skin cells released while sleeping, as well as dust and hair product residues on the hair, mix together to create the perfect environment for C. acnes bacteria to thrive.
.2. The practical effect of 'sleeping with a towel' When you find it troublesome to wash your pillowcase every day, using a towel is a very clever way.
Ease of daily change: You can change to a new towel every day without the hassle of removing and putting on the cover, so you can have a 'clean side every day'.
Absorbency: Cotton towels absorb sweat and oil well, helping to prevent your skin surface from becoming too wet.
Note: Rough towels can cause minor irritation to the skin, so if you have sensitive skin, it is recommended to use a soft cotton or gauze towel.
3. Recommended care by skin type
Tips Skin Type Recommended Care Method Oily/Acne-Prone Skin Replace the cover every 2-3 days High sebum secretion High bacterial growth rate
Sensitive skin: Natural cotton/silk material used. Minimizes friction to prevent skin redness. Normal/dry skin: Wash and disinfect once a week. Care is required to prevent dead skin cells from clogging pores.
