Do you deal with skin irritation, frizzy hair, or fine lines? One thing you might want to consider is exchanging your cotton pillowcases for silk pillowcases instead. Silk fibers are known for their naturally hypoallergenic construction and help prevent fine lines and sleep wrinkles, keep the skin hydrated, and improve the look and health of your skin and hair.
So, for smoother skin, frizz-free hair, and a good night's sleep, it's time to turn to silk.
Is Silk Good for Your Skin?
Sleeping on silk feels good, and you probably prefer it over other fabrics thanks to its luxurious look, too. However, many people don't realize that it's not just the look that makes silk so special—silk actually has benefits for your hair, skin, and overall sleep.
Silk is fantastic for your skin for a few reasons. First, it's a high-quality, natural material. It has very low absorbency and a tight weave, which means more of your skin's moisture stays where it belongs—in your skin.
And if you use moisturizers or skin treatments, silk pillowcases won't absorb them easily. That means more of those products get into your skin while you sleep, so you get their full effects.
Sensitive skin and silk pillowcases
One of the great things about silk pillowcases is that they are completely natural and have benefits for your skin to boot. Silk is hydrating and nourishing, and it can even help improve the appearance and health of your skin by reducing irritation and improving hydration.
Mulberry silk pillowcases help with sensitive skin by eliminating the risk of coming into contact with harsh surfaces and irritating chemicals. The friction of a normal pillowcase can be too much for sensitive skin to handle, but silk glides smoothly over the skin's surface. So you wake up with less tugging irritating your skin.
Less friction equals fewer wrinkles, and who wouldn't want that?
Improve kids' skin and hair with the right pillowcase
Your kids' sleep is just as important as your own, which is why you should consider durable silk for your children's bedding.
Children often have skin conditions that require attention. Irritation from psoriasis, acne, cradle cap, and sallergies can all lead to problems sleeping and result in dry skin, hair damage, and a frustrating night.
Fortunately, whether your child is a side or stomach sleeper, swapping out cotton pillowcases or satin pillowcases made of synthetic fibers for natural silk can help.
Silk pillowcases are known to help the skin and reduce irritation in several ways. Here are just four that we think are important to consider.
- Silk reduces friction as a smooth surface that glides over the skin. This results in less irritation, reducing the risk of acne breakouts or other skin conditions. The reduction in friction also helps prevent hair breakage and split ends.
- Silk keeps moisture close to the skin, hydrating the skin and helping side sleepers wake up with fewer wrinkles and facial creases.
- Silk is temperature regulating. Unlike cotton, overheating won't wake you (or your child) up. Silk pillowcases breathe, helping to regulate temperature changes through the night.
- Silk is anti-bacterial. That means that fewer bacteria have a chance to settle into the pillowcase and irritate your child's skin.
These are all great reasons to try real silk in place of your child's old satin or cotton pillowcase.
Why Choose a Blissy 100% Mulberry Silk Pillowcase?
Did you know that a 100% mulberry silk pillowcase is hypoallergenic? Silk can keep dust mites away, because its natural protein fibroin and tight weave make it hard for allergens to "stick."
If you regularly deal with allergies and have breakouts as a result, you should see an improvement by switching to silk. And as we mentioned above, silk's tightly woven threads don't absorb moisture well and won't tug on your skin.
That means you can say goodbye to the irritation you had from cotton sheets or pillowcases and hello to the beauty benefits of silk.
