1. Smooth Surface
The smooth texture of a silk pillowcase standard significantly reduces the friction between the skin and the pillow. When we move around during sleep, a silk pillowcase doesn't drag or pull at our skin the way cotton does.
2. Fewer Sleep Creases
The lines we sometimes wake up with due to our face being pressed into the pillow for hours are minimized because a silk pillowcase standard doesn't indent into our skin as much.
3. Reduced Skin Damage
Constant rubbing against rough fabric can lead to micro-tears in the skin, which can accelerate aging. With a silk pillowcase standard, this friction is dramatically reduced, helping to preserve the skin's integrity.
2. Less Hair Breakage
For our hair, this means less tugging and pulling, which reduces breakage, split ends, and frizz. Silk allows hair to glide smoothly across the surface, rather than getting caught or tangled.
3. Preserves Hair and Skin Treatments
Products applied to our hair or skin stay in place better, as the silk doesn't strip them away through friction. This means treatments can work more effectively overnight.
4. Temperature Regulation
Silk naturally regulates temperature, which also plays a role in reducing friction. If we're too hot, we might toss and turn more, increasing friction. Silk keeps our head cooler, potentially leading to less movement.
