8 Beauty Benefits Of Silk Pillowcases

When I was younger, I was a bit of a diva when it came to sleeping. I loved keeping silk sheets on my bed, and I loved sleeping in coordinating pink silk nighties. I believed if you slept pretty, you had pretty dreams. Solid point. Over the years, very little has changed.

At this point in our lives, it seems we’re always talking about beauty treatments, the best skincare products, blowouts, and more. We all know a healthy diet helps against breakouts, drinking enough water is important for a glowing complexion, and SPF is essential for youthful (and healthy) skin – but did you know your pillowcase can make just as much of a difference in your beauty routine?

I’ve been such a big fan of Branche silk products for a while now, and their silk pillowcases are my favorite! Not only do they make my bed feel a bit more luxurious, they really help with my hair and skin – plus they extend the life of my blowouts, since I no longer have bedhead! Aside from the luxurious fabric, I love how the pillows have a foldover case that keep the pillows in place, so you don’t have to worry about them sliding out.

While there are so many factors that contribute to your hair and skin, upgrading your pillowcases to silk pillowcases will make such a difference. Today I’m sharing 8 reasons why you need a silk pillowcase.

1 – Extends The Life Of Your Blowouts And Prevents Bedhead

There’s nothing worse than having a great blowout, then waking up the next day with a head full of frizz. Seriously, there’s nothing pretty about bedhead. With silk pillowcases, the silk fabric reduces friction and keeps your hair smooth and tame!

2 – Helps Prevent Split Ends

With less friction, your hair will have less breakage and split ends with the smoothness of silk pillowcases. Plus if you wear hair extensions like me, the silk fabric causes less pulling and damage to the extension wefts!

3 – Silk Pillowcases Are Hypoallergenic

Regardless of how tidy and clean you are, dust happens. If you’re like me and your allergies can get a bit intense at times, the silk pillowcases are hypoallergenic and have natural resistances to dust mites and other allergens!

4 – Cuts Back On Breakouts

Since silk is less absorbent than cotton, it’s less likely to pick up pore-clogging bacteria like cotton pillowcases (yuck, I know!) leading to fewer breakouts. Sleep pretty, wake up pretty.

5 – Helps Prevent Facial Creases

Fabrics like cotton can pull and tug on your skin, which isn’t good for your skin in the long run. Since silk is so smooth and has little friction, you won’t wake up with facial creases in the morning!

6 – Regulates Temperature

Silk is a natural heat regulator, so silk pillowcases will keep your skin cool in the summer and warm in the winter! Next time you’re worried about a silk pillowcase feeling chilly in the winter, think again!

7 – Extend The Life Of Your Face Cream

We all know how important moisturizer is before bed, but did you know that cotton fabrics can actually absorb face creams in your sleep? Since silk is less absorbent than cotton and helps retain moisture, your face creams will be much more beneficial with silk pillowcases!

8 – Feels Luxurious

There’s really nothing better than crawling into bed at the end of a long day. Why not make your bed feel a little extra with luxurious silk pillowcases. Switching a cotton pillowcase for a silk one instantly makes you feel pampered and special.

If you haven’t made the switch to silk pillowcases, I highly recommend doing so now! Not only will your hair and skin thank you, you’ll love how fabulous they feel at the end of a long day!
