Change Your Pillowcase More Often Than You Think

You spend roughly a third of your life with your face pressed into your pillow. It absorbs oil, sweat, dead skin, and bacteria every single night. If you struggle with breakouts, allergies, or just waking up congested, your pillowcase might be a bigger factor than you realize. Change it every two to three days — or at minimum, flip it halfway through the week. It's one of the simplest hygiene upgrades, and the effect on your skin and breathing can be surprisingly quick.
