Sincerely Spotlight: Silk Pillow Cases

I can hardly fall asleep most nights and a good night’s sleep always seems like a fantasy. When I do fall asleep and I wake up, my bedhead is a whole other level of hot mess. Frizz and kinks are in abundance and that results in me just throwing my hair up in a bun and calling it a day. I started using silk pillowcases my last year of college after reading an article and boy was it a game changer. I ordered mine on Amazon and decided to give it a try and my hair was significantly less frizzy and had zero kinks the next day. You won’t wake up like a Disney princess but you definitely won’t look like Ana in the morning. 

Let’s break down the benefits of the silk pillowcase and why I think it deserves to be in the Sincerely Spotlight.

KEEPS YOUR SKIN HYDRATED AND PREVENTS BREAKOUTS

Your face touches your pillowcase all night more than any other fabric. If you have a cotton or microfiber pillow case, those materials tend to absorb the oils from your face (and hair!) and irritate your skin thus drying it out. This will result in inflammation, dry skin, and breakouts. With a silk pillowcase, less moisture will be taken from your skin and hair and result in minimal to no breakouts. I mean you could save money on expensive moisturizing creams just by sleeping on a silk pillowcase. Score! Regardless, it’s still always good to have an established skincare routine and a silk pillowcase is just the cherry on top. Another quick skincare trick is to keep your room cold so that you don’t sweat while you sleep and your pores remain unclogged. 

KEEPS YOUR HAIR HEALTHY

Say goodbye to frizzy hair and tangles. Seriously, I noticed a huge change after switching to this pillow case. When you sleep on a cotton pillow case, this creates more friction which results in tangles and breakage. Fun fact: the natural properties of silk (such as its smooth and soft surface) can help reduce friction on your hair which then reduces split ends, breakage etc. I mean, that to me is already a game changer.

Cotton pillowcases also absorb moisture not just from your skin, but also your hair. Silk on the other hand, leaves the moisture right where it belongs: in your hair! So, if you have dry hair or an itchy, flaky scalp, a silk pillowcase will be a miracle worker.

INDULGE IN THE LUXURIOUS LIFE

Plain and simple – treat yo self. A silk pillowcase is a total Blair Waldorf move and honestly so worth it. I don’t know if you remember her bedroom from Gossip Girl but her whole bedding was pure silk. No wonder she looked so stunning all the time. However you want to practice self care, laying your head to rest at night on a silk pillowcase is truly the perfect way to end your day.
