Can the bedding you sleep on improve your beauty, or is it just a myth?
We know that a good night's sleep can make us look "younger," but could swapping your pillowcase be the secret to waking up with clearer, brighter skin and shiny hair?
1/ Benefits of silk pillowcases
Less friction on the skin or hair, which prevents irritation or damage.
A cleaner sleeping surface.
Less dryness for skin and hair.
"These pillowcases can be a beneficial addition to other acne treatments," a board-certified dermatologist explains.
Why? Silk can provide a softer and cleaner surface for your cheeks. "Silk pillowcases are gentler on the skin of people with acne or sensitive skin than rough cotton pillowcases." Rubbing cotton against acne-prone skin can create more inflammation, which worsens acne.
Cotton also absorbs natural oil and bacteria from your face and hair, and this dirt builds up on your pillowcase night after night, creating a breeding ground for bacteria from your pillow.
"Silk pillowcases absorb less moisture and dirt and can therefore be a better choice for people suffering from acne." "This is especially true for people who sleep on their side or stomach."
The other benefit of silk pillowcases is that they are gentler on your mane.
The friction-free surface of silk can reduce damage, prolong the sleek look of a blowout, or prevent frizz.
If you tend to have dry hair, a silk pillowcase can also reduce moisture loss.
