Benefits of a silk pillowcase

Good Hair

Compared to other fabrics like cotton or linen, silk is much more delicate and gentle on your hair. That’s primarily because silk’s surface is much more smooth, causing less friction. When you rest your head on a silk pillowcase your gorgeous locks will effortlessly glide over your pillow without being caught and tugged. In short, less friction means less hair breakage and frizz. The luxurious texture of silk will make your hair smoother, shinier and healthier. That’s why with Hevby everyday is good hair day!

Good Skin

When it comes to good skin, hydration is key. Hydration will let your skin retain its elasticity and firmness; support its barrier function, prevent dryness and flaking; improves texture and appearance, promotes healing; and regulates oil production.

Silk is known for retaining less moisture compared to other fabrics. While cotton and linen - common fabrics used in bedding - absorb moisture, silk will let your skin stay hydrated. It is also less likely to absorb the skincare products you use in your bedtime routine, letting you enjoy the benefits to the fullest.

Good Sleep

All self-care should start with sleep. And not just any sleep. You need and deserve the good quality kind. The kind that will leave you feeling rested to your bones. One advantage of silk compared to common bedding materials is temperature regulation. Fancy words, we know. What that means is silk will feel cool on your skin in summer and it will keep you warm in winter.

Moreover, silk is a breathable material that is resistant to allergens such as dust and mites. That’s why people with allergies find that they sleep uninterruptedly on a silk pillow, compared to other pillows. Uninterrupted, cool and cozy: the exact recipe for that rested beauty look! Talk about a literal beauty sleep!

Fewer Wrinkles

If you are like us, chances are that you move around a lot during sleep. Did you ever wake up with a sleep line or a pillow crease on your cheek? Happens to all of us. Or, rather, it used to. Regular pillowcases are more likely to leave you with creases on your skin. That is because, you guessed it(!), they have more friction which tugs at your skin as you move around in your sleep.

And apart from the embarrassment they cause us at the first meeting of the day, why do we want to avoid sleep lines? Because, regular sleep lines have a habit of turning into wrinkles over time. That’s where the silk pillowcase saves the day (and the night) once again. The smooth surface of a silk pillowcase creates less friction, reducing the tugging on your skin. And, correct again, less tugging means fewer sleep lines upon waking, which then means fewer wrinkles caused by sleep.
