Mayfairsilk has released a consumer’s guide exploring fabric types that may be beneficial for acne-prone skin, especially when used as bedding.
-- The company’s latest resource highlights pure mulberry silk pillowcases as one of the best choices for skin health, corroborating recommendations from experts around the world. In the guide, Mayfairsilk explores silk’s characteristics and how the fabric compares to other types of common bedding materials.

The average human spends roughly a third of their life sleeping; during this time, their face, hair, and other exposed parts of their body will be in contact with a pillowcase and bedding. Mayfairsilk and other experts say that this is an overlooked trigger for acne breakouts and flare-ups for other skin conditions like eczema: most fabrics absorb natural oils, dead skin cells, skin and hair care products, and dirt, creating a hospitable environment for bacteria to grow. Some fabrics, like cotton, also have rough textures that cause friction, irritating sensitive skin and weakening the skin barrier, while smoother synthetic options, such as polyester satin, often lack breathability, which can reduce comfort and lead to poorer skin health.
However, dermatologists say that mulberry silk pillowcases are a notable exception. Silk is a natural, protein-based fibre that absorbs less moisture and oils, and its soft, smooth texture is gentler on the skin; this leads to less friction and, in turn, less irritation. Additionally, mulberry silk naturally resists bacteria, dust mites, fungal growth, and other allergens, and its lattice structure makes the fabric more breathable, promoting thermoregulation - the combination of these properties contributes to overall comfort during sleep for many users.
Mayfairsilk’s guide notes that bamboo fabric is another similarly natural choice for individuals with acne-prone skin. With moisture-wicking properties and a breathable structure, bamboo pillowcases will absorb and accumulate less sweat and dirt overnight than other alternatives, reducing acne flare-ups.
For more cost-effective fabrics, silk-based satin and cotton pillowcases are still viable options for managing breakouts, as long as they sport high-quality weaves and are washed more frequently. Mayfairsilk’s guide says that, in general, individuals who struggle with acne should wash their pillowcases at least once a week using gentle and fragrance-free detergents. Enzyme-based cleaners are ideal for breaking down accumulated oils in most fabric types, but these products should not be used on silk.
