Summer is tough on the skin for a number of reasons; the air is hotter, your skin is drier, and your to-do list keeps growing. While you may need a good break, and maybe a day off, it would be nice not to deal with skin issues in the process. Combat the cold winter air with good skin through a fresh set of silk sheets or a much-needed silk pillowcase as the season cheers on. Here's what you need to know and why silk is your best friend and skin care secret.
Say Goodbye to Skin Irritations
Silk's long, natural, and smooth fibers are tightly woven, reducing moisture loss from your skin. This means that people with sensitive skin will tolerate it better. While sleeping on cotton sheets may aggravate eczema or other skin conditions, silk is naturally hypoallergenic, keeping your skin clear and free of irritation. Stiff woven fibers in other fabrics, such as wool, synthetic fibers, and even cotton, cause skin irritation and flare-ups. Switching to silk keeps your skin hydrated and smooth, without the need for additional lotion.
Rolled up sheets or fabrics that attract dust mites can interfere with your sleep each night. Silk is cleaner than other fabrics, and its smooth surface allows you to rest easily. Silk is produced by silkworms in captivity, which means they have no natural predators and produce finer silk fibers with little chemical exposure. Chemical exposure is something we are constantly exposed to, but silk reduces exposure and makes your longest daily activities more beneficial.
Breathing
Silk is naturally hypoallergenic and dust mite resistant. Dust mite droppings contain leftover enzymes that the mites use to digest skin dust. These enzymes are the most important component of mite dust in the development of asthma and other allergic diseases. As a result, silk duvets and pillows will benefit allergy sufferers.
Your skin is glowing
Those annoying sleep wrinkles that can't seem to be prevented, they are caused by dehydrated skin. Because sleeping on cotton dries out your skin, silk with its smooth fibers locks moisture into your skin, plumping up skin cells-that is, fewer wrinkles. Using a silk pillowcase will make your face gentler and less likely to have side effects on your skin compared to cotton. Your skin will stay moisturized after sleeping on a silk pillowcase, which is a perfect beauty solution for those suffering from dry and flaky skin.

23. 19 Momme Leopard Zipper Silk Pillowcase
If you like to roll over in your sleep, silk allows you to wake up with wrinkle-free skin and aids in the absorption of all the moisturizers and toners you use before bed. We spend so much money on skin care that it's disheartening to learn that cotton sheets absorb facial essences, causing more breakouts. Silk keeps your moisturizer in place and keeps your face clean overall, making your face appear less puffy in the morning. Less redness is associated with fewer facial creases and a cleaner face. The sensation of waking up in silk should be sufficient reason to replace all of your sheets, but the skin benefits are also immediately apparent.
So let's go with the advantages of silk sheets and skin once more. Silk soothes skin irritations, which is especially beneficial for those with sensitive skin, allergies, or skin conditions. It also retains hydration, resulting in plump skin cells and fewer wrinkles. If these benefits weren't enough, silk pillowcases keep your skin serums and moisturizers from being wasted while you sleep, resulting in fewer breakouts and less redness.
While summer is synonymous with hot, dry weather, silk's natural thermoregulation keeps you cool all year. Avoid the stress of dry, flaky skin while finishing your holiday shopping, or simply give the gift of silk to someone you know will appreciate it. Don't forget to include silk on your own wish list. Silk makes everything better.
