Why silk pillowcases are the latest must-have beauty tool.
We know that a good night sleep can make us look and feel rejuvenated, but can a pillowcase swap be the secret to waking up with clearer, smoother skin and lustrous locks?
Silk may present a kinder and cleaner surface for cradling your cheek. Silk pillowcases are gentler on the skin of people with acne or sensitive skin than rough cotton pillowcases, according to recent clinical studies.
Although cotton also sops up the natural oil and bacteria from your face and hair, silk absorbs less of the moisture and dirt and thus may be a better choice for people with acne or acne-prone skin. The same logic applies to your hair and silk.
Silk’s frictionless surface might mitigate damage, and prolong the sleek look of a blowout or prevent snarls.
How to buy the best silk pillowcase.
When purchasing silk pillowcases, be sure to double check the reviews. Some companies may bypass the filter by using terms like “silk-like” to get on your radar but not actually provide real silk, or high-quality materials.

I didn’t realize silk pillows are good for dry and brittle hair! But I guess it makes sense. Great post, thanks.
