Changing my pillowcase every five days, well, changed my life. *Cue dramatic music.* How could such a simple act make such a big difference? I first realized that my Nestle Crunch-bar-esque cheek acne was to blame, at least partially, on my dusty, neglected bedding back in college. It wasn’t enough that I had to be kinda on time to classes, feed myself with dining hall cash, and drink in basements. I also had to commit to washing my pillowcase in an overcrowded dorm laundry room every week. Well, I begrudgingly tried it and got angry because it actually worked. Ever since then, I’ve been a believer in the power of the pillowcase to make a big difference in fighting acne and breakouts.
Silvi, the anti-acne bedding company, exists to combat such violent pillowcase-on-complexion crime. The brand carries bamboo bedding, Mulberry silk pillowcases, eye masks, and more that, per the retailer’s FAQ, are treated with “anti-bacterial silver ions” and “reduce bacteria by 99.97%.” The statistic was big, but my eyes were even bigger after discovering such a wonder product existed. If a simple laundry routine could be so life-changing, what could a pillowcase this magical do? Read on as I test out the best anti-acne pillowcases on the market. Will these silver threads form a peace treaty with my face, feel as good as they sound, and reduce my laundry detergent budget by half? Your answers await, below.
