Silk & your skin.
Your hat could be behind those forehead breakouts. Cotton and synthetic linings trap heat, friction and moisture against your skin. Hatsy Silk-Tech™ doesn’t.
Acne mechanica is the clinical term for breakouts caused by friction, heat and pressure. It’s exactly what a regular hat creates against your forehead and temples.
What changes.
Traps heat against your skin, the warm, damp conditions bacteria thrive in.
Naturally thermoregulating. Stays cool, so heat doesn’t build up.
Rubs every time your hat shifts, irritating pores and causing inflammation.
A smooth surface that glides instead of grips.
Absorbs sweat, then holds it against your skin with oil and residue.
Moisture-wicking. Moves moisture away instead of trapping it.

Hats and your skin, answered.
Can wearing a hat cause acne?
A hat doesn’t cause acne on its own, but it can make breakouts worse. Heat, sweat, oil and friction trapped against your forehead all day can aggravate the skin along your hairline and brim. Breakouts triggered by friction and pressure are sometimes called acne mechanica.
Why does Hatsy Silk-Tech™ help with forehead breakouts?
Hatsy Silk-Tech™ is smooth, breathable and wicks moisture away, so less heat, sweat and oil sits against your skin, and there’s less rubbing every time your hat moves. It’s not a treatment, but it takes your hat out of the problem. For persistent acne, a dermatologist is the best place to start.
Is silk better than cotton for sensitive skin?
Many people with sensitive skin find silk gentler. Its long, smooth fibers create less friction than cotton, and it doesn’t soak up sweat and hold it against your skin the way cotton does.
What part of a Hatsy is silk?
Every surface that touches you: the lining is 100% Grade 6A mulberry silk, along with the sweat band and the strap. The outer shell is 100% cotton.
How do I wash my Hatsy?
Hand wash cold and let it air dry. Washing your hat regularly matters for any hat, since sweat and oil build up in the band over time.
