Dr. Hua Truong Kiet (Taiwan, China) recently shared this case in the program "The Doctor Is So Spicy".Accordingly, a female student who studied away from home should live in the dorm, she noticed that her face was serious acne, wondering: “When I was high school, acne was not so serious, why afterGoing to college again acne so severe? ”.The doctor pointed out that there are many reasons why acne is increasingly serious, including indiscriminate eating, not sleeping enough and not washing your face.But when the right side of the female student suffered from acne worse than the right side, the doctor thought it was due to the "local factor".

Doctor Hua Truong Kiet asked curiously: "Where did you sleep? How long has it been for you to wash the pillow?".The female student then remembered, she only washed the pillow when she came home before the holiday, equivalent to about 1 year.The doctor heard that, blaming if not washing pillows often, it would become a breeding place of bacteria, causing acne on the face, over here for 1 year without washing, "like hugging the toilet every night".

An international study showed that if the pillow case was not washed for a week, the amount of bacteria clinging to it was 17,000 times higher than the toilet, which means you "sleep on the toilet pedestal for 8 hours a day".Dr. Hua analyzes the pillow shell (for bacteria) where the "land" is rich in nutrition.Everyone has dead skin on the face every day and in addition to dandruff on the scalp, sometimes there is sweat, saliva, lubricant on the face and scalp, or not carefully removing makeup makes the pillow shell become the placesuper nutritional culture for bacteria.

Therefore, Dr. Hua thinks that he should wash pillows every week, especially for people with facial skin prone to greasy, or those who apply lotion or makeup.Ideally, you should replace the pillow cover every week to maintain health and cleanliness.
