Skin
Silk is an excellent material to apply your skin. However, experts have proof that it may also aid in preventing getting older. The material contains a natural protein, as a well as numerous amino acids. Studies have concluded that amino acids can help make wrinkles appear smoother when the nervous system is relaxed. Silk also has a natural chemical albumen, which stimulates the skin’s metabolism, so that skin cells develop and repair. It isn’t able to absorb moisture and is perfect for applying creams to your face prior to getting to bed. Thus, although cotton pillowcases may absorb some of the creams, the silk pillows are sure that it’s absorbed as you rest. The fabric is beneficial for people with skin conditions like eczema.
Other bedding materials can often aggravate skin conditions like eczema over the course of a night, causing the skin’s temperature to rise, losing precious moisture. Silk, on the other hand, is lightweight silky and smooth. It also allows the body to retain water, reducing the chance of the skin getting dry, itchy and rough overnight.
Temperature
Silk’s natural characteristics and the double-stranded fibres it has are similar to human hair, which is why it is suited to keeping your body temperature cool. Silk can provide a breathable and insulating barrier between your body and the surrounding temperature, which can keep your body cool in summer and warm during the winter.
Hair
Silk pillowcases can provide significant benefits to the health and appearance of your hair. Although silk doesn’t hold liquids, its moisture wicking’ qualities help to move the excess grease and moisture away from your body. This helps to ensure that your hair will remain dry and lacking in grease in the morning. The softness of the fabric also reduces thinning of the hair, which could lead to potential split ends. Cotton can cause an abrasion between your hair and pillows, which may result in damaged and frazzled hair. The anti-static properties also prevent your hair from knotting.
