Yes, Your Pillowcase Needs More Attention Than You Think
If you're serious about your skin, washing your pillowcase should be part of your skincare routine. You wouldn’t reuse a dirty face towel for a week — so why sleep on the same unwashed surface every night?
Your pillowcase collects oil, sweat, skincare products, bacteria, and dead skin cells. That buildup happens fast — and if left unchecked, it can clog pores, cause irritation, or make acne worse. And when it comes to silk, cleaning it the right way makes all the difference in maintaining both your skin and the pillowcase itself.
How Often Should You Wash a Silk Pillowcase?
For most people, once every 3–4 days is ideal — especially if you have acne-prone or sensitive skin. If you sweat a lot at night, wear heavy skincare, or sleep with your hair down, washing every 2–3 days is even better.
Washing less often can lead to product buildup and bacteria accumulation, which undermines the benefits of sleeping on silk — especially its anti-acne and moisture-retaining properties.
How to Wash a Silk Pillowcase Without Ruining It
Silk is delicate, but not difficult — you just need to treat it with care.
Use a pH-neutral, silk-safe detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, or anything harsh. Cold water is best, and hand washing is ideal — but if you're using a machine, put your pillowcase in a mesh laundry bag and use the delicate cycle.
Always air dry. Never wring it out or throw it in the dryer, which can break down the fibers and damage the finish. To keep that signature MiraSilk glow, lay it flat or hang it in indirect sunlight.
Does Not Washing Often Enough Affect Skin and Hair? Absolutely.
Even though MiraSilk pillowcases resist bacteria and absorb less than cotton, they’re still in contact with your face and hair all night. Dirty pillowcases contribute to acne, cause dullness, and can undo the benefits of your nighttime products.
A clean pillowcase helps keep your skin calm, your pores clear, and your hair free from excess oil or residue. If you’ve invested in MiraSilk, keeping it clean ensures you’re getting the full beauty benefits.
Clean Sleep = Clear Skin
Silk gives your skin and hair a massive advantage — but like anything in your routine, consistency and cleanliness are key. Regular washing keeps your pillowcase (and your glow) in top shape.
MiraSilk was designed to last — with the right care, it’ll keep delivering skin-loving sleep night after night.
