Waking up to a new acne breakout has got to be one of our biggest pet peeves, especially when we can't pinpoint where on earth it's coming from. You're drinking enough water, not (overly) stressed and you know it's not your menstrual cycle wreaking havoc...so what's the problem? Well - as it turns out - it might be your pillowcase.
Pillowcases carry a shocking amount of acne-causing bacteria; after just three days, pillowcases have 1000 times more bacteria than a toilet seat, and given the amount of time we spend in bed... it might be time to make some changes. Not sure where to start? Allow us to introduce you to Silvi.
Unlike traditional pillowcases which are made of cotton, Silvi is the Anti-Acne Silk Pillowcase that eliminates 99.7 per cent of acne-causing bacteria, ensuring you get your beauty sleep, minus the breakouts and clogged pores. The Silvi pillowcase is treated with natural silver to eliminate bacteria, and can also reduce split ends, frizziness and hair breakage - a good skin and hair day? Miracles do come true.
Apart from doing wonders for your skin and hair, the Silvi pillowcase is also hypoallergenic and temperature regulating, so you can officially kiss those night sweats goodbye. It's also ethically made using zero chemicals, meaning it's just as kind to the environment as it is to your skin. A win-win, really.
If you're almost ready to embrace the Silvi pillowcase as your new skincare saviour, but are not 100 per cent convinced just yet - don't fret. The brand offers a 100-night free trial, where if you're not loving it for some reason, you can send it back and get your money back. Spoiler alert: You'll probably have a very hard time parting with this once you've got your hands on it, but the option is still there.
