3 Ways My Old Pillowcases Were Making My Life Hell

One morning, after getting up from another terrible night of sleep, I finally had had enough. I entered the bathroom to start getting ready for work and I took a minute to study my appearance in the mirror.

Oh my god, I looked like crap.

My hair was tangled and my eyes were swollen and red with dark circles beneath them. I started to cry. I have had enough, my pillowcases were making my life hell. It was time to make a change.

Growing up and when I was in college, I never thought about the material of my pillowcases. When I was young, I slept on whatever my parents bought me, and when I was in college, honestly, I was more concerned with the color and design of the pillowcases than anything else.

My process for buying new pillowcases could be boiled down to finding the cheapest option in the color that best fit the overall decor of my bedroom.

At the time, I was not aware of how the materials of the pillowcases were impacting my health, beauty, and the quality of my sleep.

I mainly used polyester, or the cheapest cotton pillowcases I could find at my local retailer. I didn’t realize how big of a mistake that was.

I spent so many restless nights tossing and turning, first hot and sweaty, and then cold and shivering, only to be hot and sweaty once again — a neverending cycle that prevented me from getting the restful sleep I needed for my health and beauty.

Aside from the restless nights, I noticed that my hair was constantly frizzy and tangled in the morning, and many times, if I had not washed the pillowcases in a while, I would wake up with red puffy eyes.

My allergies would flare up like I had just been hit in the face with a giant bundle of ragweed.

It wasn’t until I made the switch to Bamboo Silk that I realized how my old pillowcases were ruining my life.

Here are three ways that my old pillowcases were making my life hell.

1. Overheating and restless nights

I cannot remember how many nights I woke up sweating. I would pull my blankets off me for relief only to wake up again later freezing and shivering.

I was unaware that my polyester and cheap cotton pillowcases were trapping my body heat and causing me to have night sweats.

Not only was this constant battle between being too hot and too cold causing me to wake up constantly, but it was making me sick.

I felt like I was always getting the sniffles and fighting a cold. I was completely unaware that it was the hot and cold sweats at night that were causing me to get sick.

2. Allergy flare-ups and other illnesses

With my old pillowcases, I would often wake up with dry itchy eyes that looked puffy and made me look terrible. I looked like I had been out all night partying when in fact I was at home and in bed by 10 pm.

It would be especially bad if I had not washed my pillowcases in a long time. I had to constantly wash my pillowcases or the dry, itchy, and puffy eyes would return. It was so frustrating.

At the same time, my allergies were constantly flaring up as well.

Many days I would have a runny nose and incredible pain in my forehead, and sometimes, I would even feel like I was short of breath. This would happen for days at a time, and it was hell, especially when I was trying to study for final exams when I was in college.

Again, I was unaware that it was my choice of pillowcases that were causing my allergies to flare up.

It was my polyester and cheap cotton pillowcases that were trapping dust mites and other allergens, and every night when I slept, I was essentially burying my face in them.

3. Dry skin and frizzy hair

Another thing I noticed about myself as a result of my poor choice of pillocases was my dry skin and frizzy hair. I was spending a lot of money on beauty products like facial moisturizers, body lotions, and expensive hair conditioners, and yet, I did not see much of an improvement.

It seemed like every product I tried was useless.

Even some of the best and most expensive skin and hair products that my friends used were ineffective on me. My skin always felt dry, my hair was frizzy, and I looked and felt terrible.

What I later learned is that it was my pillowcases that were the cause of my dry skin and frizzy hair.

When it came to my dry skin, I realized it was my cheap pillowcases that were absorbing all of the moisture from my face and causing my skin to dry out.

I even started to notice some wrinkles forming. That is not normal for a college student in their 20s.

When it came to my hair, the same thing was happening. Any progress I attempted to make to moisturize and condition my hair was lost when my cheap pillowcase would absorb all of the moisture from my hair as I slept.

It was so frustrating, and little did I know, the source of my problems was actually right in front of me the entire time.

How I took control of my sleep and got my smooth skin and silky hair back

Once I graduated from college and was living on my own, I finally had a little money to make my apartment as comfortable as I could.

I started doing research on what kind of pillowcases I wanted for my new place.

As I was doing my research, it all hit me. I read that the materials of my pillowcases were impacting the quality of my sleep and the condition of my skin and hair.

At first, I looked into some more expensive silk pillowcases. I had heard that they were always the best, but then I saw the price tag.

As a young professional, I could not justify spending that much money on pillowcases.

I also read about some of the cruelty with which the silkworms are treated to produce the silk. It is incredibly sad.

That is when, upon further research, I discovered Blofè and their premium Bamboo Silk Pillowcases.

I learned that Bamboo Silk is not only sustainable and eco-friendly, but it also contains many of the properties that might help to remedy many of the problems I was suffering with my skin and hair.

Here are some of the other things I learned about Bamboo Silk and why the Blofè pillowcases were the best purchasing decision I could make.

• Better sleep quality: Discomfort and irritation can lead to poor sleep quality. Blofè Bamboo Silk pillowcases provide a comfortable and calming sleep environment for better quality sleep.

• Also, the bamboo silk material is breathable and temperature regulating so it doesn’t trap heat and cause night sweats. Night sweats can lead to poor sleep quality and illness.

• Hypoallergenic: Cotton pillowcases can harbor dust mites, mold, mildew, and other allergens that can cause people to have severe allergy symptoms.

• Blofè Bamboo Silk pillowcases are covered with silver ions and are hypoallergenic, antibacterial, and antifungal to make sure that the pillowcases are clean and will not induce allergy attacks.

• Increased moisture in skin and hair: Cotton pillowcases can absorb from your skin and hair causing wrinkles and tangled frizzy hair. Blofè Bamboo Silk pillowcase's breathable and non-absorbent material retains skin's natural moisture to prevent wrinkles and fine lines.

• Affordable: Many of the best pillowcases on the market are incredibly expensive and unaffordable to many people, especially young professionals just starting out.

• Blofè offers a more affordable alternative with similar benefits to real silk products, allowing more people to experience the luxury of silk pillowcases without breaking the bank.

• Sustainable and eco-friendly: Traditional silk pillowcases as well as expensive Egyptian cotton pillowcases often are produced using unsustainable farming methods.

• Bamboo is a highly renewable resource that grows quickly without the need for pesticides and insecticides.

• Additionally, Bamboo Silk production requires less water and energy compared to silk and cotton.

After learning all of this helpful information and reading several 5-star reviews, I immediately purchased some Blofè Bamboo Silk Pillowcases to try them out.

Soon after I made the switch, I noticed that I was not getting the night sweats anymore and I was sleeping the whole night through.

After the first week of sleeping with my new pillowcases, my skin and hair started to feel softer, the bags under my eyes started to subside, and my allergy symptoms became much more manageable.

Purchasing my Blofè Bamboo Silk Pillowcases was the best decision I ever made for taking control of my health and beauty.
