This lockdown has given me a lot of time to research things that are good and bad for me. Did you know that even your pillowcases play a vital role in your skin and hair care routine? You spend hours with your hair and face pressed against the pillow–that kind of friction can cause creases that turn into wrinkles over time. It can also be the reason your hair gets frizzy in the morning and takes really long to style for your daily Zoom meeting.
Thankfully, we have a solution–silk pillowcases. Yup, these create a smooth surface for your hair and skin to rest on so there isn’t as much friction. Silk also has inherent cooling capabilities and calms the skin down. Not to mention, it feels so luxurious to lie on. But because it is pricey, looking for a good one is essential. That’s where we come in!
Reasons Why You Should Switch To Silk Pillowcases
- Sleeping on silk pillowcases makes your blow-dry last longer. The natural properties of silk make hair less static and reduce friction, breakage, damage and split ends.
- If you have dry or frizzy hair, then silk pillowcases can be the answer to your problems–they help your hair retain moisture and reduce frizz, so your hair doesn’t look all over the place when you wake up.
- When it comes to skincare, because silk doesn’t absorb moisture, your expensive night care products can actually stay on your face rather than slipping off during the night.
- You will also notice visibly clearer skin because silk doesn’t pick up as much pore-clogging bacteria as cotton.
- They help reduce signs of premature ageing. Cotton pillowcases tug on and stretch the skin. However, these silky ones, in fact, help reduce puffiness. That means fewer wrinkles, sleep lines, and fine lines!
- Mulberry silk also regulates your temperature and adjusts your body heat so that you sleep pleasantly through the night.
