It’s time to take your beauty rest to the next level by indulging in a silk pillowcase. I know you’ve heard about them and you’re intrigued, so let me discuss the multiple benefits of this dreamy fabric. 

Silk is a friction-free material. So, when you are tossing and turning at night, your hair is able to smoothly glide on the pillow instead of getting intertwined in those cotton fibers that can leave you with bedhead, or worse, breakage. 

Cotton draws moisture out of the hair causing it to become dehydrated. Silk absorbs less moisture, which keeps the hydration in your hair and not the pillowcase. This helps to combat frizz and dryness. People with curly, textured, or processed hair should absolutely make the switch because they are lacking moisture in the hair. 

Not only is this fabric going to benefit your hair, but it is great for your skin too! You know that really good sleep – the kind where you wake up and have “creases” on your face? Although it usually equates to a good rest, those creases, over time, turn into wrinkles. Having a silky smooth surface to lay your delicate skin on is going to prevent this in the long run.

As I mentioned before, silk absorbs less moisture, so your diligent nighttime skin care routine is going to stay on your face as opposed to being absorbed by a cotton case. Additionally, silk is a great choice for anyone with dry skin. 

If silk is too much for your budget, consider using a satin case. Satin will also provide a silky smooth surface for you to catch some “z’s” on. 

Both of these options can be found at Bellacara and they make a fabulous gift for anyone!
