[PSA] "I switch my pillowcases all the time but I still get acne on one side, I don't understa-" WASH YO DAMN DUVET!

Beauty Tips For Body Care
So if you're on SCA for longer than a week, you might know how important it is to change your pillowcase regularly to avoid The HorrorTM. Like every 2-3 days often. If you didn't, congratulations, you have discovered SCA's favorite weapon against bacterial hygiene: the washing machine (also capitalism, because we all have 10000 satin pillowcases hiding in our homes).What didn't help my acne though was, you guessed it, washing my pillowcases. No matter what I did or how often i changed my pillowcase, I was still getting acne on my sleeping side. My other cheek was more or less fine , but I had a noticeable cluster of white heads on my left that wasn't going away. I don't lean. I don't indiscriminately pick. It's only on one side though, my sleeping side, so it probably wasn't entirely hormonal.Then I wake up one night with my face smooshed into my duvet, completely ignoring my pillow. I had been using my duvet the entire time I was breaking out and hadn't washed it in like a month, because duvets are a huge fucking chore when it's a queen and you're very single. I had also been sitting on top of my duvet at all hours of the day while doing homework and spreading germs that way. One wash later, my acne is gone in 3 days.TL;DR I am a fool and didn't wash the one thing that apparently needed to be washed. Moral of the story, don't leave your duvet alone for a month. Also wash your sheets or get another pair, I suggest the Percale blend at Target because they're cheap af and come in separates so you don't need to buy cotton pillowcases I know you won't actually use.
