3 Reasons to Swap Out Your Cotton Pillowcase for Silk

As a natural fibre, silk is created by the silkworm cocoon and harvested to be used as a textile in the production of a variety of attire such as pyjamas, eye masks, pillow cases and bedding. It is the strongest natural textile in the world and was once used in the construction of early parachutes! When you’re not jumping from a plane, silk can also prove to be quite useful overnight and there have been many studies into the benefits of sleeping on a silk pillowcase. Read on as we go over three reasons why you may be convinced to say goodbye to your cotton pillowcase forever...

A silk pillowcase can help keep your skin smooth

The smooth texture of silk is the perfect environment for your skin on an overnight basis as cotton pillowcases are notorious for absorbing moisture. Whilst this is an admirable quality in athletic wear, it can be quite harsh on your skin as you sleep. A silk pillowcase is made up of smooth fibres that allow the skin to retain its natural moisture levels to keep it supple and hydrated all-year round. In fact, those who are prone to dry skin over the winter months may find that a silk pillowcase will make a world of difference.

Frizzy hair can be tamed with a silk pillowcase

Depending on the texture and quality of your hair, you may be plagued with a morning bed head that is impossible to tame. This is because cotton creates friction throughout the night, causing your hair to rub against the pillow case and tangle as you sleep. The smooth texture of a silk pillowcase allows your hair to glide over the fibres delicately in order to reduce frizz, tangles and an unruly morning bed head!

There are wrinkle-prevention properties from using silk pillowcases

Did you know that friction from your pillowcase is thought to contribute to the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines? Since cotton lacks the smoothness of silk, it can create a lot more ‘crush wrinkles’ as a result that may play a small but notable part in the aging process. Just the simple act of tossing and turning may be enough, however the silky smooth surface of a silk pillowcase can reduce the effects and help you maintain a natural morning glow.

The majority of people are brought up as children using cotton pillowcases and subsequently face difficulties sleeping as they enter adulthood, and yet the benefits of silk are widely unknown, especially when it comes to haircare for all the curly-haired girls and guys, as silk bedding and pillowcases aren’t as readily available. Here at DREAMSILK , we want to swap frizz for smooth, luxurious locks by educating our readers on the benefits of sleeping on a silk pillowcase as opposed to cotton.
