The silk pillowcases you need to improve your beauty sleep
Say goodnight and goodbye to skin creases and out of control frizz

Sleep is such an important part of your beauty routine. But it’s not all about those eight hours. The pillowcase you sleep on can play a big part in keeping you looking youthful.
Silk, which is a natural, renewable and biodegradable resource, is more eco-friendly than cotton, and let’s be honest, silk pillowcases just feel so much more luxurious to sleep on. But all that aside, when it comes to your skin, the silk pillowcase benefits are impressive as hell.
Silk reduces the friction between your skin and the fabric as you toss and turn through the night, which provides a welcome anti-crease effect. Silk also absorbs less product, so your skin care products stay on your skin rather than rubbing off on your pillow, and it's a fabric that zaps less moisture from your skin so you don't wake up with that tight, dry feeling.
There are also benefits of a silk pillowcase for hair; silk's smooth surface won’t tug at strands or rough up the hair cuticle, which can lead to breakage and frizz. And just as it does for your skin, silk helps retain moisture in the hair.
Keen to get in on this anti-ageing, blowout-saving goodness while also enjoying a more luxurious sleep? These are the silk pillowcases that we recommend...
