Who knew that changing something as simple as your pillowcase could make such a difference to your self-care routine? With their impressive list of beauty benefits silk pillowcases have become a bit of a buzz word over the past year, however there’s significant proof to demonstrate that this isn’t just the latest trend. Here’s why you should consider making the switch to silk.  

 Silk Is Kind To Your Hair

 Silk Pillows Are Anti-Aging

It seems too good to be true that a silk pillowcase can help prevent wrinkles, but leading dermatologists and aestheticians can’t stop recommending them. They advise that the rough texture of traditional cotton causes more friction against the skin which leads to increased creasing and wrinkles over time. Sleeping on pure silk allows the skin to glide smoothly on the surface of the pillow resulting in less traction and the production of fewer wrinkles. 

Silk Is Hypo Allergenic

It’s All About Hydration

It’s been drilled into our heads that hydration is key to the appearance of our skin and hair, but could your traditional cotton pillowcase be undermining your efforts? Cotton is a more absorbent material than silk, so it will draw out any moisture in your skin and hair while you sleep. This could be why you wake up looking dehydrated, especially in winter when central heating takes its toll. Switching to silk will allow your skin and hair to retain its hydration overnight as it absorbs less moisture than cotton.
