It’s that time of year when I rarely change the sheets on my bed.

Not because I’m dirty, but because I sleep most nights atop the comforters with a light blanket.

(Note: my comforter gets washed frequently because of cat hair.)

But even if you don’t regularly use and wash your sheets, you should 100% change your pillow cases weekly.

You might find that you’re having breakouts on one side of your face and the other side of your neck (thanks to dirt and oils deposited on the case). But even if your skin is clear as day, launder your pillow cases more.

Because I hate polyester, I’m sorry microfiber, pillow cases, I’ve picked up 100% cotton pillow cases for a few years now. With 4 pillow on my bed, I’ll swap them out weekly and always have extra pillow cases on hand.
