Not sure what “I wash my pillow when it gets greasy and dirty” actually means? Like once a month? Once a quarter? Once a week?
There are multiple causes of acne, typically:
– hormones
– genetics
– lifestyle, though this has been shown to be minimal
At the end of the day, acne is caused by clogged pores. Vaseline does not clog pores, grease and dirt do.
If a person can see the grease on the pillow it’s been way too long between washes. Should be about once a week and if someone has acne issues recommend:
– use gentle detergent without scents / etc.
– do not use softeners
– do not use drier sheets
– switch pillow sides half way through week or wash more often
– make sure to use face wash
– use facial moisturizer
– use spot treatments as necessary
– eat healthy
– regular exercise and wash away any sweat after exercise
– wait to get older if you are a teenager… hormones are no joke
