Mulberry silk pillowcase benefits for skin
1. Overnight natural skincare
When deciding a daily skincare routine that works for you, often a really important part of your everyday routine is forgotten - your sleep! Adults in the UK tend to spend one third of their lives sleeping, which means we spend years of our lives with our face pressed against our pillowcase.
Cotton pillowcases tend to dry out your skin and cause creases on your skin over time. Instead, switching to a silk pillowcase is an easy and effective way to continue your skincare routine throughout the night without any extra effort.
2. Reduce signs of ageing using a silk pillowcase
A 100% mulberry silk pillowcase is a soft and smooth natural fabric which glides against your skin. This means that as you sleep, the mulberry silk fabric creates less friction against your skin and causes less tugging and pulling on your skin, which results in fewer creases forming on your face during the night. Over time this can reduce signs of wrinkles and fine lines when using a silk pillowcase consistently. This is why a silk pillowcase is often deemed an anti-ageing pillowcase!
3. Mulberry silk is a breathable material
Our mulberry silk pillowcases are made from the highest grade 100% mulberry silk fabric, which is a purely natural material compared to synthetic alternatives such as polyester. Mulberry silk's natural thermal-regulating properties make it breathable and gives comfort to your skin overnight by keeping it cool throughout the night. This means that it helps to keep your skin at an optimal temperature both in the summer and the winter, providing ultimate comfort and a luxurious sleep experience.
4. Silk pillowcase for hydrated skin
If you have a complex skincare routine which involves multiple steps and overnight creams, sleeping on a cotton pillowcase could be undoing a significant amount of the work you are doing by absorbing this moisture when you go to sleep!
Mulberry silk pillowcases retain more moisture in your skin and mulberry silk has been shown to absorb around 30% less moisture than cotton. This means that your skin stays hydrated for longer by using a silk pillowcase compared to a typical cotton one. This is due to mulberry silk's natural properties including natural protein and essential amino acids to make it moisture-wicking, keeping your skin moist and helping to reduce dryness.
5. Using a silk pillowcase for sensitive skin
As mulberry silk is a naturally hypoallergenic material, it is suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin. This means that a silk pillowcase should be the number 1 choice for anyone who suffers from allergies. Silk's natural properties also help to reduce dust and dirt forming compared to traditional cotton pillowcases, which also means that a silk pillowcase helps to reduce skin pores being clogged overnight. By absorbing less dirt, dust and moisture, you can see how a silk pillowcase can be a game-changer for your skin routine!
