Silk vs. Cotton: Which Material Should You Choose for Sensitive Skin? When you have sensitive skin, every detail counts: skincare products, diet... but also bed linen. The material of your pillowcase or clothing can make all the difference. Between silk and cotton , which fiber is best suited for sensitive skin? Here's a clear comparison to help you choose. 1. Texture and impact on the skin Cotton: Slightly rough, it can cause friction and mark the skin, especially during sleep. It also absorbs moisture and skincare applied in the evening.
