How to Prevent Overnight Skin Irritation
-
Wash Bedding in Hypoallergenic Detergent: Fragrances and harsh dyes in detergents can weaken the skin barrier, making it far more sensitive to pressure marks and friction.
-
Remove Wristwear Before Sleep: Take off watches, fitness bands, and bracelets. If you track sleep, loosen the band by at least one notch to ensure air circulation.
-
Choose Smooth, Breathable Fabrics: Opt for high-thread-count cotton, bamboo, or silk pillowcases and sheets to reduce surface friction.
-
Stay Hydrated: Well-hydrated skin retains elasticity better, helping overnight pressure marks fade significantly faster in the morning
