I’m just going to be honest, starting a new business is exhausting. My sleep patterns are off. A constant “to-do” list is cycling through my brain. Falling asleep is a struggle and I tend to wake up at 3am questioning if I really did everything I needed to do or if I forgot something that is crucial coming up. Luckily, one of my top beauty tips happens every single night when you sleep (or even when you’re just laying there trying to sleep) and it’s so easy! Here it is, the best way to improve your skin (and hair!) while you sleep.
Silk pillowcase.
That’s it! Switch out your cotton pillowcase for silk and see the results overnight. The benefit of silk includes preventing wrinkles, diminishing breakouts, hydrating the skin, and regulating body heat. Silk also reduces friction between your skin and hair against the pillow, which can result in less hair breakage and less skin irritation.
Not only is silk superior with benefits, it also eliminates all of the issues with cotton. Cotton pillowcases actually draw moisture away from the skin and hair which potentially dries out your skin and causes irritation. You know that amazing night cream that you applied right before bed? Cotton will absorb that, as well, making all of your good habits less effective. All of that moisture is pulled into your pillow, including any allergens and bacteria, causing damage and irritations to your skin and hair.
Not all silk is created equal. An ideal pillowcase is 100 percent Mulberry silk to ensure high quality. The silky slip of this pillowcase decreases skin creasing, tugging, and pulling to help eliminate the appearance of wrinkles. This silkiness also is easier on the hair and so you wake up tangle free.
Of course, to see any advantages you must wash your face and take care of your hair and skin before going to bed. Nothing will ever replace properly caring for your skin.
That’s it! This is an easy switch with lots of benefits!
