Five Reasons Why Women Need To Buy Silk Pillowcases

Silk has been holding the position as the Queen of Textiles for over 4000 years. It is the ultimate luxurious cloth for the individual with discriminating taste. To quote Oscar de la Renta, "Silk does for the body what diamonds do for the hand." As a natural protein fiber, silk is chemically similar to human skin, which is therefore regarded as an ideal "second skin".

The top five reasons why women nee to buy silk pillowcases are:

1. Skincare

Silk pillowcase could protect and prevent wrinkles on the facial skin and neck area. Silk is far less absorbent than cotton. Therefore any face cream you put on at night will not be absorbed into the pillowcase as soon as you lay down.  Your expensive face cream will have a much longer time to work, making your sleep truly beauty rest. Cotton pillowcase, no matter how high the thread count is very rough on the skin. It can try out your skin which results to creases that eventually lead to wrinkles. Well, shouldn't we invest on a very nice think 100% pure silk pillowcase?

2. Reduces bed head

Smooth as silk. A common phrase used in hair advertising and everyday speech, it accurately hints at one of the overriding qualities of silk – its smoothness. Silk pillowcases allow your expensive permanent or hairstyle to glide over the pillow and not get all matted up. The result? You wake up in the morning and you can forget about bed head and needing to spend hours on your hair to get it looking like the day before. Think of all the time you could save just by sleeping on silk pillowcase.

3. Hypoallergenic

Silk is naturally hypoallergenic and Silk is naturally hypoallergenic making it a must for allergy sufferers especially eczema. It is also beneficial to those who suffer aches and pains, itchy skin and may aid blood circulation and digestion when sleeping. No more sneezing or coughing through the night because of your allergies. Silk pillowcases will allow you to sleep better and longer than ever before.

4. Safety

Silk is a naturally fire retardant material which makes it a wonderful choice as bedding. It is a highly recommended bedding choice for babies and children.

5. Easy Care

Silk pillowcases can be machine washed on the gentle or hand washable cycle of your washing machine using a gentle soap and cool water (around 30°C). Then they should be air dried out of direct sunlight which won't take long because silk dries fast.

How can I get make-up out of dry-clean only material?

My two preschool daughters got a hold of my make-up and drew with lipstick and black eyeliner on a never-used set of linens in my closet, including a comforter and pillowcases.

Thanks!
