For those of you who are long-time advocates of sleeping on silk, you know that there is no comparison when it comes to silk and cotton pillowcases. However, if you are still sleeping on cotton, you have no idea what you're missing out on! Here are just a few differences you will find between sleeping on silk and cotton.
Silky Smooth Hair
Cotton pillowcases tug at your hair as you toss and turn during your sleep, silk pillowcases allow your hair strands to glide over the pillowcase as you move throughout the night. This is especially ideal for extending your blow wave days after leaving the salon. Say goodbye to waking up with knotty bed hair!
Kind to your skin
Cotton is quite a coarse material that can be rough against your skin. Alternatively, silk reduces friction against your skin to reduce sleep lines and crease wrinkles. Silk pillowcases also hydrate your skin by retaining the moisture on your face.
Cool To The Touch
On hot, sticky and uncomfortable nights, cotton holds in heat and warms your pillow making it uncomfortable on hot summer nights. Sleeping on a silk pillowcase is a game-changer for hot nights! Silk is temperature regulating and has a natural cooling effect, making for a more restful night's sleep. Also ideal for sleepers that tend to sweat more during their slumber.
Healthy nights sleep
After just one week of use, pillowcases can grow millions of bacteria and germs. Unlike cotton, silk is a breathable, antimicrobial and hypoallergenic fabric. Ideal for those with allergies or acne.
