SKIN HYDRATION

Unlike cotton, silk doesn’t absorb moisture from your skin, helping to keep your skin hydrated throughout the night.

REDUCES SLEEP LINES AND WRINKLES

The soft texture of silk minimises sleep creases on your skin, potentially delaying the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.

BENEFICIAL FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

Silk is hypoallergenic and for those who have sensitive skin or acne it is recommended to sleep on silk because it causes less irritation.

CONTROLS BED HEAD AND TANGLES

Silk’s smooth surface prevents your hair from getting tangled overnight, leading to less detangling in the morning.

STUDY FINDINGS

According to a study by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), silk pillowcases can support better skin hydration and reduce friction, which benefits both skin and hair health.

CONCLUSION

Switch to silk pillowcases for smoother skin and healthier hair. Consult a healthcare professional for personalised advice.
