The magic pillowcase that spells the end of bad hair days and gives you radiant skin

Can a pillowcase make you look all the more radiant? Not just any pillowcase of course, we're specifically talking about a silk pillowcase that can effortlessly boost your beauty regime.

A spokesperson at The White Company tells us, 'Silk pillowcases are recommended by dermatologists as an anti-ageing tool as they help skin keep its natural moisture.'

It's well worth considering upgrading from cotton to silk, it seems. 'Due to its lower absorption, all of your creams and serums will not be absorbed from your skin onto your pillow.'

Benefits of sleeping on a silk pillowcase?

An expert at The White Company shares all the health credentials. 'Containing the same naturally occurring proteins as your hair, silk is thought to keep locks strong, shiny and healthy. The sleek surface also reduces friction and static, meaning hair stays softer for longer.

'But the assumed benefits do not stop there; silk also helps skin to retain its moisture, and is a soothing choice for people with sensitive skin, or allergies.'

Silk pillowcase are said to reduce frizz and keep your hair smooth and shiny. It's claimed because 'silk has the same naturally occurring proteins as your hair. The silk avoids friction and static.' No more bed head days when sleeping on silk pillowcases, then.
