We asked five dermatologists and one aesthetician

Pillowcases for wrinkles Slip Queen Pure Silk Pillowcase The argument for silk pillowcases is that, unlike cotton or linen, which tugs on the skin, silk glides over your face and reduces the stretching and pulling that causes lines on the skin. But since wrinkles are caused by a loss of elastic tissue under the skin — as well as preventable factors like UV light exposure and smoking — not all dermatologists are completely convinced that silk pillowcases are miracle cures for wrinkles.
$150 at Macy’s Buy LilySilk 100% Pure Mulberry Silk Pillowcase If you want to give silk pillowcases a shot for your hair and skin, but don’t want to spend a lot, these are a more affordable option that are also 100 percent silk — with a cotton underside to prevent slipping — and hypoallergenic. Lawson says pillowcases made with hypoallergenic materials are “more gentle on the skin and can prevent inflammation and skin reactions.
On the other hand, Wexler says that “anything that’s on your pillowcase gets on your skin. If you have antibacterial properties on your pillow, it’ll get on your skin.” As silver inhibits bacterial growth and is used to cauterize wounds, she says it’s possible pillows with silver could have the same effect on your skin. Since it’s also hypoallergenic, it probably won’t hurt to try out Skin Laundry’s SleepCycle silver pillow.
Tzu also likes cotton pillowcases, and especially white ones because “you get to see any dirt on the pillowcase when it’s white” — a reminder it’s time to wash or swap it out. Day also prefers white cotton that’s free of irritating dyes. And while cotton is often drying on wrinkle-prone skin, that same quality can be helpful for preventing pimples. Green says, “Cotton is best if you are acne-prone, as it will absorb moisture, reducing sebum buildup, which will minimize acne breakouts.
$69 at Dermstore Buy Snuggle-Pedic Ultra-Luxury Bamboo Shredded Memory Foam Pillow $50 Since a firm pillow can be more abrasive against the skin, Wexler says the type of pillow you use is even more important than your pillowcase. She recommends pillows made with bamboo and foam because “they conform to your face, so they don’t crease or tug your face.” She also says that “bamboo contains certain vitamins and minerals that make it much healthier for your skin” than other types of pillows.
