Sleeping on silk pillowcases seems like a luxurious switch for your pillow, but did you know there are additional benefits as well?
While you sleep, your pillowcase tugs on your face. By switching to a softer fabric, you will experience less friction when you toss and turn during the night; which can help reduce signs of aging and wrinkles. Additionally, by sleeping on a silk pillowcase it is less likely to absorb moisture from your skin due to the smooth texture of the fabric. This means your nighttime skincare remains on your face, and not on your pillow.
Not only is sleeping on silk good for your skin, but your hair can benefit from the switch. Sleeping on a silk pillowcase can reduce frizzy hair. Since the texture of silk is smoother than cotton, you’ll experience less friction and frizz. Silk pillowcases can also help brittle hair retain its moisture. Cotton tends to absorb more moisture, whereas silk will aid in keeping your hair hydrated.
Here are my picks for silk pillowcases, should you wish to switch it up:
