From supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to top beauty experts, we often hear that silk pillowcases are the secret weapon when it comes to beauty sleep - but is it really worth the investment?

What are the benefits of a silk pillowcase?
We all love our sleep and nothing feels better than when you have an undisturbed, restful and revitalising nights sleep. So when we heard that a silk pillowcase could make us look like we’ve had beauty sleep (we know how hard that actually is) we had to see if the rumours were true.
- Hair
Not only do silk pillowcases make us feel a lot more glamorous (unlike the usual baggy t-shirt, hair in a messy bun and toothpaste on those irritating monthly blemishes) on average we spend one third of our lifetime asleep, so if in that time we can improve our hair and skin, we are all ears! As the silk is so soft and smooth, whilst you sleep there is no friction, this results in less breakage and split ends, as well as saying goodbye to kinks, crinks and damn right wild bed-hair! We could not believe how silky soft our hair still was when we woke up in the morning! Good bye frizz! And If you dye your hair, silk pillowcases are a real must as it will stop any extra damage or breakage to your hair.
-Skin
Talking from personal experience, I am an odd sleeper.. face first on the pillow and another firmly pressed on top, I am like a hamster going into hibernation (no sleeping beauty here) using the silk pillowcase made me say goodbye to those horrible creases I see every morning engraved on my face and hello to a more rested and hydrated reflection. Silk pillowcases not only stop the creasing, they don’t absorb any moisture from your face, they reduce puffiness and being less abrasive than cotton pillowcases they help reduce any redness.

Final review? Silk pillowcases really are a game changer!! We can never see ourselves going back to a usual pillowcase and love the benefits you can see & so quickly. They are an investment but an investment that we think is a beauty lifesaver! Every woman needs one in her life.
