There are many beauty products on the market claiming to offer beauty benefits while you sleep. Can you really get beauty benefits in bed? Yes you can and all you need is a silk pillowcase.
Cares for your Hair
I was very kindly gifted a silk pillowcase from Sleep in beauty. The silk Pillowcases are made from 100% mulberry silk. Currently they’re only offering them in Ivory but are developing a black silk pillowcase for those who love to fake tan. Watch this space! So why do you need one?
Due to the silky smooth texture of these beautiful pillowcases, there will be less friction created between your hair and your pillowcase. Thus allowing your hair to glide over the pillowcase and reducing the amount of bed head frizz!
Silk pillowcases also keep your hair hydrated. Cotton is far more porous than silk, and absorbs more moisture from your hair and scalp while you sleep. So if you have dry ends or a flaky scalp this pillowcase will be a god send.
Beauty Benefits for your Skin
Many of the above points apply when it comes to your skin too. The minimal pores in your silk pillowcase will help draw less moisture from your skin. Allowing you to wake with bright, plump and hydrated skin. Now try using those overnight skin products with this pillowcase, trust me you will notice them working more.
Can it prevent wrinkles? Yes, it is also less likely to get “crush wrinkles” during your sleep when using a silky surface as a pillow, hello youthful skin! In the long term using a silk pillowcase will help reduce the wrinkles formed during your sleep.
A Better Nights Sleep
Believe it or not, your silk pillowcase can even help you get a better nights sleep. Unlike regular cotton bedding, silk is known for helping wick sweat away from the body helping keep your body temperature regulated and keeping you cool during the night.
As well all know, being hot during the night can result in a restless night and not enough deep sleep making us wake still tired. You can read my blog post on how to get a better nights sleep here if you’re a stranger to a good nights sleep.
Hypoallergenic
Sleep In Beauty silk is also naturally hypoallergenic and can help offer protection against common allergens such as dust mites and mould. Due to the silk absorbing less moisture it also stays fresher longer. In order to keep this protection ensure you regularly wash your bedding. To wash your silk pillowcase without damage. Gently hand wash your pillowcase with shampoo.
Where Can You Buy One?
Currently all Sleep In Beauty’s products are online, but they’re really affordable and super competitive with other silk pillowcase brands. One standard queen size pillowcase is just £30 and you can get 10% off with code ‘INSTA10’.
I cannot recommend enough, I’ve really loved mine. They’re gorgeous as a gift too they come in a fabulous black and gold display box as standard. They also sell silk hair ties, and eye masks I will link those below too.
