Silk is well known for its incredible softness and silky smoothness. Many also choose silk for its hypoallergenic and odourless qualities and for it being more breathable than cotton. You should not disregard however, that spending your nights sleeping on silk will not only make you feel both luxurious and cozy, but also provide you with a number of beauty and health benefits whilst feeling like you are having your best sleep.
We wanted to tell you about the benefits that our 100% Mulberry silk can give you.
Skin Benefits
Silk is considered more breathable than cotton or other synthetic fabrics, as a result it keeps your skin cooler at night and helps with overheating and sweating. A cool skin is more likely to combat morning redness and puffy faces. On top of this, you can say goodbye to those morning crease marks, as silk is one of those wonder fibres that does not create friction. Its gentle smoothness and hypo-allergenic qualities makes it perfect for those with a sensitive skin or those with acne problems.
Those that are used to a complex evening skincare routine are probably familiar with the feeling of products getting excessively absorbed into the fabric. As silk is less absorbent compared to other fabrics, the products that you apply before sleeping are much more likely to stay on your face throughout the night.
Hair Benefits
Perhaps the main argument for using silk and its hair related benefits is the reduction in thinning and hair breakage. At night we usually move around causing our hair to be more prone to thinning, breakage and resulting in frizz and the typical morning bed head. As we have already mentioned, silk’s frictionless fabric helps to prevent these common problems as well.
Silk’s less absorbent quality not only helps with the skin on the face, but with your hair too. Compared with cotton or other synthetics, it allows your hair to better retain moisture thus making it healthy and shiny.
