Acne all the time? Maybe it's your pillow

Whenever the seasons change, skin problems will occur frequently, especially during the winter-spring and spring-summer transitions. Allergies and acne problems are more likely to occur than other seasons. The causes of acne problems are not only endocrine disorders caused by the season change, In addition to not cleaning the face in place, the pillow is also a major reason.

The temperature difference between winter and spring changes greatly, and the air humidity increases. In a humid and warm environment, the bedding that is in contact with day and night is prone to breed bacteria and mites, which will lead to frequent facial problems and cause problems such as acne breakouts. If the pillows that you touch your face every day are not clean enough, even if you clean them every day, acne will be like spring grass, and it will regenerate when you touch it.
So what can we do to solve this problem? It is recommended to start from the following three aspects.

Use antibacterial and anti-mite type pillows
Antibacterial and anti-mite pillows have the effect of inhibiting the growth rate of bacterial mites. People with oily skin and sensitive skin will be healthier and safer to use this type of pillow. At present, there are two main types on the market: chemical antibacterial and anti-mite pillows and natural antibacterial and anti-mite pillows.
Chemical anti-mite pillows are pillows that achieve antibacterial and anti-mite effects by adding antibacterial and anti-mite chemical additives to the fibers; natural antibacterial and anti-mite pillows are pillows that use the natural antibacterial effect of materials to achieve antibacterial and anti-mite effects. The latex, wormwood, bamboo fiber and other materials commonly used in pillows have natural antibacterial effects.

The rubber protein rich in natural latex pillow is a natural antibacterial agent, which can make the latex pillow not easy to breed mites and bacteria. Generally speaking, the more latex content, the better the anti-mite effect.

Change pillowcases once a week
Studies have shown that a pillowcase that is not washed for a week may produce 3 to 5 million CFU (colony forming units) of bacteria per 6 cm². When a large amount of feces metabolized by bacteria and mites and dust in the air come into contact with the skin, the pores will be clogged, and the oil cannot be discharged normally, and it will accumulate in the hair follicles and cause acne problems.
Therefore, whether it is to remove the corpses and feces of bacteria mites, or to clean up the grease and dander stuck to the pillowcase, the pillowcase should be changed regularly. At the same time, we should also pay attention to personal hygiene, wash the face before going to bed, reduce the adhesion of oil and dander on the bedding, and further inhibit the breeding of bacteria and mites.

Dry the pillow once every half month
Exposure to sunlight can make the water in the body of bacteria and mites evaporate and kill them, and let the ultraviolet rays kill the mites. On the other hand, after sun exposure, it can also make the pillow dry, making the pillow environment no longer suitable for the survival of bacteria and mites, and reducing the accumulation of bacteria and mites. Cut off the source of acne breakouts.
