Silk pillowcase is called "beauty pillowcase", silk pillowcase is very smooth, cool, no matter how squeeze friction when sleeping, the face is not easy to have wrinkles. Silk contains 18 essential amino acids, including serine, which nourishes the skin and prevents skin ageing, cleanses the skin and increases the vitality of skin cells. A pair of silk pillowcases is part of the equipment worn by foreign models. Why using silk pillowcases is beneficial to the human body is something that has been studied by experts and the following will introduce 8 unexpected benefits of silk pillowcases.
1. Comfort
Silk is made up of protein fibres, which are biocompatible with the human body and, with its smooth surface, its coefficient of frictional irritation is the lowest among all types of fibres, at 7.4%. Therefore, when our delicate skin meets the smooth and delicate silk, it follows the curves of the human body with its unique soft texture, caring for every inch of our skin in a considerate and safe manner.
2. Good moisture absorption and release
Silk protein fibres are enriched with many hydrophilic groups such as amine (-CHNH) and amino (-NH2) groups, and because of their porosity, it is easy for water molecules to diffuse, so it can absorb or disperse moisture in the air and retain - a certain amount of moisture. In normal temperatures, it helps the skin retain a certain amount of moisture and does not dry it out too much; in summer, it can quickly dissipate sweat and heat from the body, making people feel cooler. It is this property that makes silk more suitable for direct contact with the human skin, so people use silk clothing as one of the essential summer clothes.
3. Sound absorption, dust absorption, heat resistance
Silk fabric has a high void rate, so it has good sound absorption and air absorption, so in addition to making clothing, it can also be used for interior decoration, such as silk carpets, tapestries, curtains, wall coverings, etc.. By decorating a room with silk, you can not only make the room spotless, but also keep it quiet. As silk has moisture-absorbing and moisture-emitting properties, as well as moisturising, air-absorbing and porous, it can also regulate indoor temperature and humidity, and can suck out harmful gases, dust and microorganisms.
4. Skin care and anti-wrinkle
Silk is an animal protein, containing 18 kinds of amino acids necessary for the human body, of which 8 kinds are necessary for our skin but can not be recreated. The surface of silk is rich in silk protein. Silk proteins are very effective in moisturising, nourishing and whitening. In addition, the serine contained in silk has the effect of nourishing the skin and preventing skin ageing, cleansing the skin and enhancing the vitality of skin cells. Imagine, we use silk pillowcase, face skin and silk for a long time contact, friction, is not equivalent to a long time in doing silk mask? The delicate and silky physical characteristics of silk fabrics also lead to the fact that when we use silk pillowcases, no matter how we squeeze and rub, our faces are not prone to wrinkles.
5. Not easy to generate static electricity
Silk is a natural animal protein fibre and is less prone to static electricity. The damage caused by static electricity to the human body can be seen through many scientific studies. When wet weather occurs, chemical fibre bedding, underwear, clothing, carpets, cushions and wallpaper can all generate static electricity when rubbed together. Static electricity can be physically uncomfortable, causing symptoms such as headaches, insomnia, irritability and even lead to rashes and heart rhythm disorders. And the gloss of human skin, to a large extent, and the quality of human sleep, silk bedding can be in the maximum care of sleep, not easy to generate static electricity in fact, indirectly and directly protect the human skin and physical and mental health.
6. Anti-bacterial, anti-mite and anti-mould
Medical research has found that many human diseases are related to mites. The bedding we use in our daily lives is one of the places where mites breed and multiply in large numbers. One study found that cotton pillowcases in general can be seen under a microscope with a large number of mites and their faeces on them. This is not the case with pure silk pillowcases. This is proof of silk's mite resistant properties. Research has also found that natural silk has excellent antibacterial properties against fungi and bacteria such as mould and Staphylococcus aureus. A large amount of the human day requires contact with the pillowcase. Therefore, pure silk pillowcases should be the pillowcase of choice as far as the skin's living environment is concerned.
7. Protects the skin and promotes sleep
Silk is a porous protein fiber made from liquid silk protein in the body of silkworms after curing and fibrosis. The silk is composed of more than 97% animal proteins and contains 18 essential amino acids, including serine, which nourishes the skin, increases the vitality of skin cells and prevents skin aging.
8. Two-way regulation, warm in winter and cool in summer
Silk has a very low thermal conductivity, and silk contains the highest "silk volume gap" compared to all other fibres, which makes it easy to absorb and preserve air, and can reduce the thermal conductivity when it is cold, keeping you warmer than leather, cotton or wool; when it is hot, it can also remove excess heat and make the temperature inside the quilt suitable. The two-way adjustment of the temperature inside the quilt keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer.
The above is for everyone to introduce the silk pillowcase what effect of the relevant content, I believe we also have a certain understanding of the silk pillowcase is very important, consumers in the purchase must pay attention to see the label, to avoid being bad traders deception.
