If you’ve ever woken up with the craziest case of bedhead, you might want to consider purchasing a satin pillowcase. Satin (and silk) pillowcases have been advertised to help you get the best beauty sleep, but the question is, do they really work? What are the benefits of a satin pillowcase compared to a regular cotton pillowcase?
Skin Benefits
Did you know that cotton actually puts stress on your skin as you sleep? It absorbs the moisture your skin needs and then has a rough texture that irritates the skin. This can cause redness, acne, and wrinkles! Satin pillowcases provide a smooth surface for your skin to glide on.
Avoid Hair Tangles and Tears
Similar to the skin, traditional cotton pillowcases tend to be rough on your hair. The oils in your hair that keep it strong and healthy are absorbed by the cotton, leaving your hair dry and brittle. This can even cause your hair to be more tangled and break while you sleep!
Comfortable Temperatures
Not only will satin pillowcases improve your beauty sleep, but they actually helps you sleep more comfortably! Satin pillowcases are known for staying warm in the winter and cool in the summer, making it perfectly comfortable in any weather!
