(MEGA) SILK BENEFITS
The first thing you need to know about a SLEEK silk pillowcase is that it’s not just a bedding product, but also a beauty product (and it’s divine).
When you sleep better, it shows. Silk is smooth and luxurious and offers a wealth of beauty benefits for both hair and skin. Therefore your choice in pillowcase is very important and here are some (mega) benefits of sleeping on silk!
1. Anti-Aging
Did you know that your choice of pillowcase can actually influence the rate at which your skin ages? Opt for the highest quality mulberry silk, and never look back. Silk contains 18 amino acids which help preserve moisture in your skin, effectively countering and slowing the effects of aging.
Choose a pillowcase that complements your skincare regime, to help keep your skin young and supple.
2. Soft & smooth against your skin
Silk provides ultimate softness and smoothness, which is important to prevent damage, creases and wrinkles on your face and neck. Given that you may be lying on your pillow for 8 hours a day, it’s important to only expose your skin to gentle natural fibers.
3. Naturally hypoallergenic
Silk's natural fibers are equipped with hypoallergenic qualities, meaning that by default they boast resistance to dust mites, mould and fungal growths. Mulberry silk pillowcases are therefore a must-have for those suffering from allergies or asthma, for a better night’s sleep every time.
If you suffer from skin problems, you may be surprised to discover what a difference it will make by switching to using a mulberry silk pillowcase.
4. Pure & natural hydration
Silk is known to boast naturally hydrating properties, by not absorbing natural moisture from your skin like other fabrics tend to do. Traditional cotton pillowcases have the tendency to soak up your $$ creams and moisturizers, which not only degrades the fabric quality but also reduces the effectiveness of your nightly skincare efforts.
5. Gentle care for your hair (& lashes)
Silk’s impressive natural benefits aren’t exclusively for your skin - it also works wonders for your hair as well! Thanks to silk's super smooth texture, hair glides over it without any friction which means you'll be less likely to wake up with frizzy hair, tangles, or bedhead, whereas cotton can snag hair and muss it up into a nest of tangles overnight.
Say farewell to “bed head” and the dreaded morning frizz, and start each day with smooth, tangle-free hair instead!
6. Excellent temperature regulator
Mulberry silk is an all-natural fiber, which is breathable to minimize risks of irritation or reactions. Perfect for sensitive skin types, silk naturally regulates heat, which helps you maintain the correct body temperature.
With a silk pillowcase, you don’t have to worry about it being too hot or too cold, as it should be just right all year long.
7. $aves you money
Sleeping on silk is great option for helping your skin maintain its natural moisture. Save money on expensive moisturizing creams by retaining more moisture in your face to begin with, by sleeping on silk pillowcases.
8. Built-in strength
One of the most commonly used fabrics for pillowcases is cotton, and despite its popularity, another good reason for making the switch to silk is due to material strength. It’s durable, long-lasting and easy to maintain. By being more resistant to wear and tear, you can save on regular replacement costs.
Appreciate the convenience of easy-care silk pillowcases that will last for years to come.
9. Easy to care for
All SLEEK pillowcases are made from a heavy 22-momme weight silk that can be machine washed. So you don’t need to worry about going to the dry cleaner, just pop it in to your washer and you’re good to go!
