It hardly comes as a surprise that slumber is one of the most integral elements to a glowing beauty routine, and no, it’s not all to do with scoring those eight hours of shut-eye.
In fact, the fabric that you sleep on is vital to the health and longevity of your skin and hair, which is precisely why a certain type of pillowcase has become a hot commodity.
Thanks to its luxurious fabrication, silk pillowcases are made from a natural, renewable and biodegradable resource, which means that its composition is not only more eco-friendly than cotton, but it’s also enjoyable for your complexion, your tresses and the aesthetic of the bedroom.
For the skin, sleeping on silk reduces the friction between the face and the fabric as one tosses and turns during slumber, meaning a solid night’s sleep is secured, sans the skin creases.
But its benefits are far from finished, silk absorbs significantly less product than cotton, meaning that skincare products remain on your skin rather than transferring onto the pillow, stealing away less moisture from your skin and bidding adieu to tight and dry feeling skin.
As for the hair, it’s a no-brainer. The smooth surface of the silk prevents the pulling of strands or making the hair cuticle rough during sleep, which easily leads to damage and frizz. Thanks to its moisture repellent tendencies, hair retains its hydration, which also means less split ends and overall more healthier locks.
