Why Silk and satin pillowcases are the beauty gift that keeps on giving:
Satin and Silk pillowcase benefits for the skin
- Due to the tight, non-absorbent structure of silk and satin, rich night creams, masks and your skin’s healthy oils can stay in place no matter how much you toss and turn.
- Silk and Satin’s structure also does away with the wrinkle causing creases that ordinary cotton can leave behind.
- Silk is hypoallergenic and naturally antibacterial – perfect for those with acne and sensitive skin conditions like rosacea and dermatitis that can be aggravated by friction.
Satin and Silk pillowcase benefits for the hair
- Minimising friction also helps to prevent hair strands from breaking and frizzing.
- The tight weave of Silk and Satin limits the absorbance of the hairs’ natural oils or any overnight hair treatments.
- Heat styled and naturally curly hair is kept intact for longer.
- As Silk is cooling and breathable, scalp sweat can decrease, prolonging the time needed between washes – perfect for those with colour treated hair.
Health benefits
- Silk feels cool against the skin and helps to regulate temperature and moisture which can lead to better, deeper sleep.
- As an antibacterial and hypoallergenic material, silk can also be beneficial to those suffering with dust allergies and asthma.
The difference between silk pillowcases and satin pillowcases
Though they often look and feel similar, silk and satin are different and have slightly different benefits. Silk is a natural fibre made by silkworms, whereas satin is a weave of fabric and can be made from materials like rayon, polyester and nylon. As a single pillowcase requires hundreds of silkworms to make, silk pillowcases are typically much more expensive than satin pillowcases. Silk is also typically thicker, slightly more hydrophobic, and appears to shimmer, while satin has a glossy appearance, lightweight feel and is vegan.

General FAQs
Is silk or satin better for your hair?
Silk and satin pillowcases are great options for your hair; however, satin usually is blended with synthetic fabrics that can be sometimes smoother than real silk, which is fantastic for haircare.
Are silk pillowcases really worth it?
If you are looking to take your haircare and skincare to the next level, a silk pillowcase is a great option to consider. Traditional pillowcases cause damage to hair and delicate skin. However, using silk pillowcases allows your skin to glide and help hair to retain moisture from your hair care products.
How often should you wash silk pillowcases?
You should wash your silk pillowcase every two days (approx). Especially if you have acne-prone skin.
