Health Benefits Of Silk Pillowcases

Sleeping on rough fibers of traditional cotton

, linen or polyester pillowcases can cause facial creases, which in long term may contribute to the formation of lines and wrinkles. These fabrics can also wick away moisture from the skin and wipe away night cream thus, limiting its effect. In the twenty first century with widespread pollution, human beings suffer from various skin problems, which include early aging of their skin. Under such conditions, it becomes essential to use silk pillowcases, which if not completely do away with hair and skin problems, can at least reduce them to great extent.

For centuries, silk has been renowned for its natural softness, beautiful luster and benefits to health. Silk pillowcases are no exception if made from the finest quality of mulberry silk, which makes it beautiful, soft yet strong. As a natural material, our bodies respond well to silk pillowcases that have the amazing ability to help our skin reabsorb moisture through the naturally occurring amino acids, helping to keep hair shiny and create a smoother and more lineless looking complexion.

It may be an old wives tale but scientifically it has been proved that silk pillowcases are the way to go if one is concerned about frizzy hair, zits, and wrinkles. Unbelievably, investing in silk pillowcases can reduce the chances of these beauty problems. Hair-wise, silk pillows prevent frequent movement of your hair as you sleep, and reduces any 'lion's mane' look in the morning. Silk pillowcases are also less 'harsh', so even if your hair does move around, it does not end up in tangles. If you are fond of styling your hair then silk pillowcases are necessary since it will retain the hairstyle for a longer period and reduce the usage of hair styles, which are not healthy for your hair at all. This retains the moisture of your hair and prevents you from regular shampooing of your hair, which leads to further loss of hair.

Dermatologists believe that silk contains essential amino acids found in many of today's moisturizers, which is essential for proper skincare. Silk pillowcases are hypoallergenic and do not draw moisture from the skin, retaining its natural glow. Silk pillowcases are as you may suspect, very smooth. This helps to prevent wrinkles and lines on faces in the same manner as it keeps your hair untangled. However, this is a temporary benefit as wrinkles are caused by a consistent loss of daily moisture and skin elasticity that go far beyond the sleeping hours. The retention of moisture from the silk pillowcases is a more essential factor in slowing early aging of skin.

To add to this, silk does not collect dust mites and house mites like other pillow surfaces. The protein sericin repels mites and fungi, making for a cleaner sleeping surface for sufferers of asthma and other allergies. Pure silk is naturally mildew resistant and is very durable. Thus, we see that the health benefits of silk pillowcase are immense if compared to its relatively high price than pillowcases of other fibers. Therefore, it is recommended for people of all ages to use silk pillowcases.
