3 Subtle Changes To Make Your Home Better For Your Skin Health 

If you've solidified your topical routine and optimized your diet for skin health, let me recommend a new area of improvement: your home. There's no doubt that your environment impacts your complexion, yet the home often gets overlooked—but no longer!

Silk and satin pillowcases help prevent excess tugging on your facial skin and hair. The result? Fewer sleep-induced fine lines (also called "pillow lines") and significantly less frizz in the morning. These are pricier than your average pillow cover, but you don’t have to overhaul every cushion—just the one you sleep on. 

For budget-friendly options, you can always stick with satin, like the $19 Kitsch Satin Pillowcase (which comes in plenty of gorgeous shades). If you want to invest, try the Brooklinen Mulberry Silk Pillowcase for a luxurious, cooling feel. 

Filtered water isn't just for drinking—it's for skin health too. Depending on where you live, you may have high levels of drying chemicals, like chlorine, in your water that can take a toll on skin and hair health over time. 

The answer: Invest in water filters for your shower and sink, if you can. While these gadgets can be a tad pricey, experts say it's a worthwhile investment; plus, you can take them with you wherever you move.

Dry air can lead to increased skin irritation and stubborn texture. This happens through a process called transepidermal water loss (TEWL)1, in which water literally evaporates from your skin; this can lead to a damaged skin barrier, resulting in a host of skin concerns, from bumps to flakes to sensitivity and more.
