Reasons to sleep with a silk pillowcase
Switching to a silk pillowcase may seem like a large expense, but the many benefits they hold far outweigh the cost. Read on below to find out why you need to swap to silk pillowcases in 2023
SILK KEEPS HAIR AND SKIN HYDRATED
Your regular cotton pillowcase draws away moisture from your skin, but silk helps to retain the moisture where it should be. Silk also contains a special protein called Sericin, which coats and protects the hair, unlike regular pillowcases
SILK PROMOTES HAIR GROWTH
The delicate protein rich surface structure of silk (much like your own hair) nourishes and protects the hair. This makes it perfect for those with postpartum hair loss, thin or fine hair, or those undergoing chemotherapy treatment
PREVENTS WRINKLES & FINE LINES
The smooth surface of silk (in comparison to cotton) can prevent the development of fine lines and wrinkles. This surface reduces friction and stretching of the skin. Silk is also super non-absorbent, which means your expensive skincare products can work a little harder where they're supposed to - your skin!
HYPOALLERGENIC
Genuine pure silk is hypoallergenic, antibacterial and antifungal. Using silk as part of a skincare regime is highly recommended by dermatologists, and can be beneficial for those suffering from allergies, eczema, acne or sensitive skin
