For health and hygiene reasons you should change your pillow cases out and wash the pillowcases at least once per week.

I've always followed the rule of washing and changing my pillowcases out once per week and it helps me sleep better too as you're not sleeping in your bodily fluids that get naturally onto the pillows when you sleep such as your drool.

If you have acne or oily skin then it's recommended to change and wash your pillow cases every 3 to 4 days to keep your bedding clean.

Some dermatologists even recommend and suggest you use a new pillowcase everyday if you have severe acne or more severe oily skin but you can still usually get away with changing your pillow cases every few days to once per week.
