If this were a classic blog article about skincare, we would jump the gun and go straight into what products to lather on your face and body to “clear acne”. But we don’t believe in quick fixes and impulsive marketing, because those blog articles don’t go into enough detail about preventing acne, and how to realistically tackle it without an overload of acne products. What is especially overlooked in the skincare industry is the importance of rest and the bedding in which you (hopefully) spend at least 7 hours a night in.

Big skincare brands won’t make any money if they told you that a huge part of healthy skin comes from the quality of bedding you envelope yourself in every night. As a skincare guru from the bedding world, Eucalypso is here to speak an often covered truth about the importance of the sleep space in achieving and maintaining healthy, clear skin.

Let’s talk about one of the worst places to get acne: the face. It’s the first thing people see when they look at you, so it absolutely sucks to showcase a red, inflamed bump for the day. What causes acne though? We hear this buzz of clogged pores a lot but don’t overlook the fact that acne is also caused by bacteria which transfers commonly through contact.

You might be thinking… “Well it’s not like I stick my face against every surface I touch in a day.” However, think about the 7 hours your face is pressed into your pillow as you toss around throughout the night. It’s the prime time for bacteria to breed as you experience a hot flash in the middle of the night, forget to properly wash your face after a long day, or maybe a little drool escapes out the corner of your mouth (we’ve been there, done that).

You might think we’ve covered all the bases on acne, but the reality is far from that. The acne that makes unwelcome appearances on the rest of your body deserves just as much attention as your face. Another common place for acne is actually right behind you… your back. Back acne, otherwise known by its not so fabulous nickname ‘bacne,’ is one of the not so glamorous parts of life that stands as the elephant in the room. People love to talk about skin care and treating acne for the face but tend to quiet down when body acne comes up. At Eucalypso however, we recognize the fact that there is significantly more skin on your back, and how bacne can be a regular struggle or summer flare up with the longer, hotter days. Paying attention to the skin on our backs can be difficult as we quite literally turn our backs on it the entire day. This can lead to neglected skin and opens up the possibility of bacne breakouts.

The skin on our backs is extremely thick, so our backs are unfortunately more prone to blocked pores and breakouts without the proper care. We might sleep with a clean silk pillowcase to keep our face soft and clear, but that doesn’t help the rest of the body that’s likely rolling around in bacteria-ridden sheets for a third of the day. Bacne is an incredibly common, yet overlooked, skincare problem that can be easily preventable if you just give your skin the proper time of d

Don’t worry though because we’ve got you covered. To combat the cons with cotton, we created the #1 rated TENCEL™ bedding brand—Eucalypso.

We use 100% TENCEL™ lyocell to weave our sheets which give it their antibacterial, antifungal, cooling, and breathable properties. Night sweats and hot flashes are out of the question when you’re sleeping with Eucalypso, and know that we are looking out for your beautiful skin.

Whether you are looking for the softest sheets ever, sheets for sensitive skin, cleaner sheets, low maintenance sheets, or cooling sheets, we’re here for you. Break up with those misleading cotton sheets, and get in bed with us to keep breakouts at bay and have some of your best nights ever. Keep in mind that this doesn’t mean you can forget to wash your sheets for a month. It’s equally as important to also remember to wash your bedding at least once or twice a week to remove any bacteria and dead skin cell build up on the sheets that would otherwise clog your pores.
