How should I sleep after dermaplaning?

Avoid sleeping face-down on rough fabric for the first 24 to 48 hours. Your skin has just lost its top layer of dead cells and fine hair, so it's far more sensitive to friction than usual. Cotton's rough weave rubs directly against this exposed skin and can cause redness and uneven texture. A perfectly smooth 100% mulberry silk pillowcase (no embroidery), like Silkhouse's, glides over freshly treated skin instead of scraping it, helping your results stay smooth and even.

The Cotton Trap on Freshly Bared Skin

Dermaplaning removes both the top layer of dead skin cells and the fine vellus hair, leaving your face completely bare for 24 to 48 hours. Without its usual protective layer, skin is far more reactive to friction. Cotton's rough weave rubs directly against this exposed surface all night, causing redness, micro-irritation, and a rougher, uneven texture that undoes part of what the treatment just achieved.

The Anti-Friction Solution: 22 Momme Silk

Mulberry silk's smooth surface glides over bare skin instead of scraping it. With no rough fibers to catch on freshly exposed skin, redness settles faster and your skin barrier gets the calm environment it needs to recover overnight.

        "Beware of false good ideas: a pillowcase for freshly dermaplaned skin must be perfectly smooth. Avoid embroidery and sewn-on logos — those synthetic threads irritate exposed skin exactly like cotton does. The minimalist design of Silkhouse silk isn't an aesthetic choice, it's a healing requirement."
