With the new year comes new resolutions, usually centred around better self-care. Many of us vow to take better care of our skin and hair after envying others who prioritised skin and hair care the year before. It’s easy to agonise over other people’s luscious locks and glowing skin thinking ‘What is the secret?!’, you’re in luck, because we might just have what you’re looking for… The SILK PILLOWCASE!
Sleeping on a silk pillowcase is proven to be the best option for our skin and hair. No matter what your self-care routine is, including a silk pillowcase to lay down on at night will instantly level up your skin and hair game. Want to know why?
Silk is gentle, meaning it won’t cause irritation. This is great news for your skin and hair at night. The gentle fibres in silk pillowcases reduce friction between your hair and the pillowcase, resulting in less breakage and no more bed head in the mornings. Tangles and frizz are instantly reduced thanks to the gentle sleeping surface that is silk. Your skin will appreciate the gentle nature of the silk pillowcase as you sleep too, due to its breathability and soft feel.
Silk doesn’t retain moisture which in turn, lets your skin breathe and keep its moisture as you sleep. This will reduce acne, spots and blemishes that are caused by a build-up during sleep. It will also leave your skin-care to nourish your skin instead of soaking it all up into the pillowcase. This also means your hair will remain hydrated as you sleep, leaving it visibly shiny and feeling soft. Traditional bedding materials like cotton are very porous, meaning they soak up all the moisture in our skin and hair as we sleep, leaving us looking dull on a morning.
Another great reason to use silk pillowcases is that they are naturally hypoallergenic. The gentle nature extends far beyond being soft to the touch and will really work to reduce irritation and leave you to sleep soundly. A better beauty sleep leaves us waking up looking revitalised and fresh, in turn looking glowy and healthy in our skin.
Wrinkles, be gone! Yes… You read that right. Sleeping on a silk pillowcase reduces tugging on the skin and friction whilst you sleep, meaning when you wake up, crease wrinkles won’t be left on your face and your skin will be feeling much fresher.
We can use all the serums in the world for our skin and hair, but they won’t work as well if the routine ends there. Once the creams, lotions and masks have been applied, it is important to consider how to care for the skin and hair as the products do their job. Thanks to the silk pillowcase, you can rest easy knowing you’ve done just that!
