What makes a pillowcase good for your skin?

Your pillowcase might be the most underestimated beauty secret. Your face rests on it for hours every night, so choosing the right fabric really matters. What should you look for? What makes a pillowcase good for your skin? 👇

A great pillowcase

✔️ Is made from soft materials: less friction and irritation

✔️ Breathes well and absorbs moisture: keeps your skin fresh and happy

✔️ Is antibacterial and hypoallergenic: ideal for sensitive skin

✔️ Preserves natural skin oils: helps keep skin hydrated

✔️ Helps prevent irritation and blemishes: fewer breakouts or clogged pores

✔️ Is also kind to hair: say goodbye to split ends and frizz

Satin is the best fabric for your skin

Want to treat your skin properly? Choose a satin pillowcase. Satin is good for skin and hair thanks to its soft and smooth texture. You will wake up glowing, with no sleep creases and no wild bed hair. A satin pillowcase is also antibacterial and hypoallergenic, which is great if you have sensitive skin or allergies. Finally, satin is highly breathable, so you always feel as if you are sleeping on a cool and clean pillow. Luxury, comfort, and skincare in one.

By the way, satin is not a material but a weaving technique. With satin the threads sit closer together, giving the fabric a super soft, smooth finish. Our Cloudpillo pillowcases are made from cotton sateen with a thread count of three hundred TC, which is softer than many luxury hotel pillowcases that are often around two hundred TC.

Is a satin pillowcase really better for your skin?

Yes, absolutely. Satin is great for your skin thanks to its smooth structure, breathability, and antibacterial properties. Still doubting between linen, bamboo, or silk pillowcases? Leave those aside and give your skin the very best: satin. 💕

The benefits of a satin pillowcase

  • Soft and smooth thanks to a high thread count

  • Breathable so you stay comfortably cool

  • Hypoallergenic so suitable for everyone

  • Antibacterial as bacteria do not build up

  • Sweat and moisture absorbing for extra freshness

  • High thread count for extra softness and quality

  • A luxurious look for your bedroom

Is cotton sateen sweaty?

A sticky cheek, musty hair, or a sweaty neck is the last thing you want. No need to worry, cotton sateen is not sweaty at all. On the contrary, cotton sateen is very breathable, regulates temperature, and absorbs sweat much better than many other materials. You will sleep comfortably and hygienically all year round.

Care instructions

Wash your cotton sateen pillowcase at forty degrees Celsius. Then let it air dry or use the tumble dryer on the lowest setting. This helps preserve the quality. Ironing is fine, but keep the temperature low.
