Cue the creepy music, because cotton pillowcases are the ultimate skincare villain. Sure, they look innocent enough, but lurking under the surface are some scary side effects that can haunt your skin, hair, and sleep.

This fall, don’t let your pillowcase play tricks on you. Here’s what you need to know.

The Scary Truth: Cotton Is Not Your Friend

Let’s get real: cotton pillowcases are basically moisture vampires. They suck hydration right out of your skin and hair while you sleep. That means you wake up with:

  • Dry, tight skin (hello, fine lines)

  • Bedhead that looks more like a horror film than a hairstyle

  • Breakouts caused by trapped oils and bacteria

Still asking are cotton pillowcases bad? The answer is a very firm yes.

Silk vs. Cotton Pillowcases: The Glow-Up

Switching to silk is like casting a protection spell on your beauty sleep. Unlike cotton, silk is naturally less absorbent, so your skincare products actually stay on your face. Bonus: the smooth surface reduces friction, which helps prevent wrinkles while sleeping and keeps your hair sleek instead of scary.

Silk = skincare’s secret weapon. Cotton = skincare’s biggest nightmare.

The NIGHT Upgrade

Friends don’t let friends sleep on cotton. That’s why NIGHT created silk, vegan satin, and cooling pillowcases designed to keep your hair, skin, and sleep goals intact. Think of them as your fall beauty sleep armor—protecting you from dryness, frizz, and breakouts while you catch zzz’s.

Because the only thing scarier than a haunted house? Waking up with pillow-induced wrinkles.

Treat Yourself to Better Sleep

This fall, skip the tricks and treat yourself to the real glow-up: a pillowcase that actually loves your skin back. NIGHT silk pillowcases are the fastest way to banish cotton’s creepy side effects and wake up glowing.
