If you’ve ever woken up with pillow creases on your face or your hair looking tangled and dry, your pillowcase could be playing a role.
I love the soft, breathable feel of cotton when it comes to clothing, but when it comes to bedding, silk is definitely my preference. Cotton pillowcases pull moisture from your skin and hair which can leave both looking a little dry and crinkly by morning. I feel like if I don’t use silicone scar tape over my skincare, it just immediately absorbs into cotton pillowcases.
Silk, on the other hand, is naturally more temperature-regulating, and since I tend to sweat at night, switching to silk has helped me avoid clogged pores and breakouts.
And for those of us with natural curls or textured hair, tying your hair at night with a silk or satin scarf or bonnet can make a huge difference in hair texture and shine. Silk fabrics protect your strands by reducing friction, helping to lock in moisture and maintain your style overnight. Pairing a silk pillowcase with a protective wrap is the ultimate combo to keep your hair healthier, your skin more hydrated, and your mornings more peaceful.
Honestly, there’s something so luxurious about ending the day with a soft, smooth place to rest your head. The only downside is that silk on silk can get a little slippery!
