Dirty pillowcases can indeed contribute to acne. Pillowcases can accumulate oils, dirt, sweat, and bacteria over time, which can transfer to your skin while you sleep. This can clog pores and lead to breakouts. It is recommended to regularly change and wash your pillowcases, ideally at least once a week, to prevent potential acne-causing factors. It can also be beneficial to use hypoallergenic and breathable pillowcases to minimize the risk of skin irritation and breakouts.
