The best silk pillowcases to slip on for a good night's sleep

Introducing you to the definition of beauty sleep. - by Janet Guan
  • 08 Jun 2022

Looking to upgrade your beauty sleep? Apart from choosing the best sheets for a good night's sleep, it actually starts with choosing the right pillowcase - sounds like a mindless purchase right? Wrong. While a cotton pillowcase is a go-to slip for many; if you're looking for a pillowcase that will do more than just be a surface to rest your head on, a silk pillowcase should definitely be on your radar.

Benefits of using a silk pillowcase

Silk is the way to go when it comes to caring for your skin and hair. The preventative approach when it comes to skincare and beauty has become popular, and opting for a silk pillowcase seems like an obvious step in the right direction.

Skin

Silk allows the skin to slide across the pillowcase without pulling and tugging. Sleeping on a silk pillowcase reduces friction against your skin as well as sleep lines (often found when using traditional cotton pillow cases).

Further, silk pillowcases also helps your skin stay hydrated as it is a non-absorbant fabric, meaning your precious serums and night creams will stay on your face rather than your pillowcase.

Hair

Your skin isn’t the only part of your body that will reap the benefits of a silk pillowcase.

In an article published on marie claire, Beauty editor Anna McClelland said her hair was less oily after sleeping on a silk pillowcase.

"I’m washing it every three days instead of two, and I haven’t changed anything else about my routine,” she expresses.

Much like skin gliding across silk, a silk pillowcase allows your hair to glide across the pillowcase too - reducing knots and split ends.
