Been dealing with beard acne and wondering if switching pillowcase fabrics might help. Silk seems to be the go-to for its natural antibacterial properties, but bamboo is also getting attention for being sustainable and antimicrobial. Anyone have experience with either? What’s worked best for you?
Switching to silk or bamboo pillowcases made a noticeable difference for my beard acne. Silk feels luxurious and keeps my skin less irritated, but I found bamboo to be more practical for daily use—it’s easier to care for and still gentle on my skin. Either way, washing them weekly is key to keeping bacteria at bay.
Bamboo’s cooling effect helps with irritation too.
