6 Reasons Why You Should Sleep On Silk

Healthy Hair

Silk provides significant benefits for the health of your hair, keeping it naturally soft, moisturised and tangle-free. Cotton can dry out your hair and cause it to knot and frizz. Silk doesn’t absorb moisture; however, it does wick moisture to ensure the excess moisture in your hair is removed, taking grease away from your body. This ensures your hair remains dry and with reduced grease in the morning.

The smoothness of silk has also be found to reduce thinning of the hair and split ends. The anti-static qualities in the silk fabric also prevent your hair from knotting. Moreover, the cling-free properties of silk can extend the life of your blow-dry by two days.

Reduce Sleep Creases

Not only does silk feel wonderful against your skin, but research suggests silk can also help reduce the signs of sleep creases. Silk contains a natural protein and a number of amino acids, and recent studies indicate these can make your facial lines and wrinkles appear smoother and less noticeable.

Retain Moisture

Silk helps to keep moisture on to your skin to keep it hydrated, far better than other fabrics on the market. Sleeping on silk is a great way to help your skin maintain its natural moisture. Not only that, you may find you save money on your skincare products because your skin is able to retain more moisture in your face, to begin with, by sleeping on silk.

Hypoallergenic

Silk pillowcases can help to dramatically reduce the symptoms of allergies due to its hypoallergenic qualities. Because it is naturally pure and tightly woven, silk repels bed and dust mites, dust, pollen and other airborne allergens. The material itself has a structure which means it is much harder for mites to breed in and for other allergens to exist, therefore it is perfect for those who suffer from allergies, seasonally or all year round.

Temperature Regulating

Silk is a natural, breathable heat regulator which helps the body to regulate the correct temperature. It does not conduct heat or static electricity like other fibres, in particular, cotton and polyester. Due to the structure of silk fibres, heat is retained during cold, and excess heat is let out during warm weather, keeping your skin cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Better For The Environment

Silk as a fibre that in itself, comes directly from nature. It requires no fertilizers or pesticides, and manufacturers will keep the material in its purest form. Being a natural fibre, Silk is biodegradable and readily recyclable. It can go on to produce useful mulch or compost, instead of sticking around for the next 500 years, as most petroleum-based fabrics will.

Not only this, but sleeping on silk will reduce the number of products you use. Waking up with smoother hair and softer skin, you may find in time you use fewer products in your routine, which means less plastic bottles and containers, less water use, and less chemical runoff into the water system.
