Prime Day Deal - Sleeping on Silk

Mulberry Silk Pillowcase

 

Another wonderful Amazon Prime Day Deal for you. If you are not sleeping on a silk pillowcase, you need to get your act together - LOL. 

No matter what your age, you should be sleeping on a silk pillowcase. They help prevent wrinkly skin and frizzy hair/bedhead when you awaken. Silk pillowcases keep your skin hydrated and help prevent hair breakage and frizz. They are one of my top beauty tips as well as for making the perfect bed. 

From Good Housekeeping that is the authority on all such things - 

"No matter what position you sleep in, you spend hours each night with your hair or face pressed up against a pillow. Turns out all that friction can cause creases that turn into wrinkles over time, not to mention bedhead that'll take longer to style in the morning. Thankfully, silk pillowcases exist to give you the beauty sleep of your dreams.

Silk pillowcases create a smooth surface for your hair and skin to glide over – with less friction there will be less creases on your skin and less frizz in your hair. Silk also has inherent cooling capabilities and feels so luxurious to lie on. 

Do silk pillowcases really make a difference?

Yes, when it comes to bedhead and wrinkles! Studies show that friction from tossing and turning causes creases in the skin, but dermatologists say that a silky smooth surface can reduce this effect in the long run. Similarly, with less friction on your hair, you're less likely to wake with frizz and tangles. But keep in mind: you should always be wary of unrealistic promises and you can't expect major changes like fewer breakouts, amino acid absorption, or anti-aging benefits."

There are many brands out there and some are quite pricey. I ordered this one and was blown away by the quality for the price. It is made from Grade 6A mulberry silk which is the highest quality.

If you are curious about laundering, you need not hand wash - machine wash on delicate, cold water, low spin, let air dry, low iron if desired. These come in an array of colors - I am featuring this taupe because it is an incredible $20.17. Find it here. And with summer vacations coming up - never travel without a silk pillowcase.
