  • Care products and make-up

Moisturizing creams, serums and other care products applied before bedtime may also stain your pillow. Even after washing the face, residues may remain on the skin and transfer onto the tissue at night.

How can you prevent your pillows from yellowing?

Fortunately, there are several simple tricks to limit the appearance of these spots and prolong the freshness of your pillows.

  • Use a protective cover

An waterproof or breathable protective cover acts as a barrier between your pillow and sweat or body oils. Machine washable, it is easier to maintain than a pillow itself.

  • Change the pillowcase regularly

Wash your pillowcases at least once a week to avoid accumulation of dirt and oils. Choose a wash at 60oC to effectively remove bacteria and residues.

  • Avoid fatty care products before bedtime

If you apply a night cream, wait until it is well absorbed before going to bed. This will limit the transfer of product to your pillow.
