Sleep 'n Beauty

l. Not everyone will like them, or even love them as I do. Not everyone will see the benefits in younger looking skin or healthier hair – they are only one factor in the quest for beauty. But everyone should try sleeping on a silk pillowcase at least once in their life. Only then will you be able to appreciate all these wonderful benefits. Since I have started sleeping on silk I have never had a bad hair day. And I have received many comments about how good my skin is looking? Well, I believe it makes a huge difference. But try it for yourself. I promise that you will not be disappointed! Silk Pillowcases: What’s the big deal? We spend a third of our lives in bed. By the time we are 60, we will have slept for an average of 20 years. We spend 7-8 hours every night of our life sleeping in the position which will crease our skin. Skin makes new cells twice as fast during sleep time as during waking hours. As we age, our collagen and elastin grow less resilient meaning those creases can stay for hours or even permanently. Traditional pillowcases – such as cotton – don’t slip, so they continuously tug at delicate parts of the face and neck. SLEEP ‘N BEAUTY pillowcases are made from the highest quality 100% mulberry silk and provide the slip required to prevent bed-head, sleep-creases and skin-stretching. When you think about how much time and effort we spend on face crèmes, facials, diet and sun screen, it’s surprising to what extent sleeping on the wrong pillowcase undermines all that effort. And not just your face; sleeping on cotton is equally damaging to your hair…

It’s something everybody has said at one time or another: “I need my beauty sleep.” The fact is, a good night’s sleep offers a host of personal health and beauty benefits, from boosting the body’s immune system and alleviating stress to preventing bags and dark circles under the eyes. Nighttime also provides an opportunity to care for the skin—especially replenishing and hydrating facial skin—as well as the hair. Many moisturizers and hair treatments are formulated specifically for overnight use, and there is evidence that ingredients in skin care and hair products stay active longer during the dark, night hours. In addition, the skin may be more receptive to active ingredients while asleep than during the light of day. There’s just one problem: Virtually everyone (99.9% of the population) sleeps on a pillowcase made from cotton. Natural cotton feels good against the skin and is comfortably cool, especially in warm climates. Cotton also absorbs moisture, which can be beneficial—except when it dries out the skin and hair. Whether it’s all-organic cotton, upscale Egyptian cotton or even a fine, 1000-thread count weave, cotton robs moisture from the body, creating facial wrinkles as well as brittle hair. So, what’s the big deal about silk? What is it about silk that helps us stay young and beautiful? Silk pillowcases are Anti-Aging
Most importantly, it has been PROVEN that silk prevents aging! Silk contains a natural protein and 18 essential amino acids. Studies have shown that amino acids can counter the effects of aging, especially in the facial skin and can help calm the nervous system. Silk also contains natural cellular albumen, which helps speed up metabolism of skin cells – thus helping to reduce signs of aging. Unlike cotton (which is an absorbent fiber and draws moisture), silk will not absorb natural moisture from your face and hair, or facial beauty creams while you sleep. It therefore allows for more efficient use of night creams, providing better skin hydration, which in turn gives you a clearer skin. Silk Pillowcases Are Hypoallergenic
Due to the small areas between the individual threads there is not that much space that allows dust and other allergens to sit and irritate your skin, your eyes, or your nasal passages. Additionally, the smooth nature of silk allows many of the things that may hide in traditional cotton pillowcases to simply glide away, leaving you to sleep and breathe easier through the night than may be possible on cotton. Silk is less Absorbent Than Cotton
One of the properties of cotton is its ability to absorb many times its weight of a liquid. Silk doesn’t do that. It is absorbent, yet its absorbency is about 11%. That means it will absorb some sweat and face cream, yet not nearly as much as cotton. What this means is your face will stay moisturized for longer than with cotton or linen. In other words, sleeping on a silk pillowcase can actually make your skin look better and younger over time than it would if were you sleeping on a cotton pillow case. Silk Pillowcases Are Great For The Hair
Say the word “silk” and it will evoke certain images in a person’s mind. One of the most common is the smooth way that silk allows things to glide over its surface. That inherent “silkiness” that silk has, is apparent in silk pillow cases as well. What this means for you is waking up with your hair looking far nicer than any comparable pillow case on the market. It also means your hair will suffer far less damage during the night. This is great news for people with naturally brittle hair or hair that has been damaged by over treating. Temperature Regulator
Silk is a natural heat regulator, maintaining the correct body temperature. It does not conduct heat or static electricity like other fibers. Heat is retained during cold temperatures and redundant heat is shed during warm temperatures, keeping your skin cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
