what does silk do to your face

Silk is amazing! They do wonders for the skin and help lessen acne breakouts. You’ve probably heard that a lot and thought, ‘here we go again,’ but now your curiosity is piqued and you’re wondering, should I give it a shot?

The answer to that question should be yes! A big yes, and here you'll get to figure out why silk is good for your face and how it works.

Let's go!

Sleeping On A Silk: What It Does to Your Face?

Silk is obtained from silkworms.

Silk is a natural protein fiber with a smooth and soft texture due to how uniform and tightly packed the protein components are.

Silk beddings charm extends beyond the way they feel, especially when it comes to the face.

Here are six ways silk can work its magic on your face:

Sleeping On Silk Reduces Acne

Commonly used bedding and sheets are made of cotton. The thing with cotton is that it soaks in moisture from your face, skin, and literally anywhere possible.

It traps that moisture, which can serve as a breeding ground for bacteria, fungus, mites, and other allergens.

Let's focus on the peculiar case of bacteria. Inflammation and more breakouts could arise as a result of certain bacterias thriving on the clogged pores.

If we replace cotton pillowcases with silk, we would see fewer breakouts. This is because silk has the ability to both retain and absorb moisture.

This means that on nights when you are sweating a lot, silk would absorb that moisture and release it into the air and on days when you need hydration on your skin, it will remain untouchable.

Reduces Wrinkles and Creases

Investing in a silk bedding can help reduce costs on beauty treatments. Because silk is smooth, it is gentle on the skin and ensures that there is little to no friction.

This lack of friction prevents strain or pressure on the face that could lead to temporary sleep lines and creases.

If creases aren’t being formed, then there would be no need to worry about wrinkles!

Silk Allows Skincare to Work

This is honestly my favorite part! It can be disappointing to spend so much money on skincare products only to have them sapped away by cotton pillowcases, leaving no room for them to work.

You might need to rethink before blaming your products; it could just be that you need to switch to a white silk pillowcase.

As mentioned earlier, silk has moisture retention properties. With your skincare products, moisture plays a significant role in bringing out that skincare glow you want to see and making that change happen.

So, before you throw away or shelf those products again, make sure to get rid of your cotton pillowcase first.

Reduces Skin Irritations and Sensitivities

For allergies, eczema, and other skin sensitivities, you do want to sleep on silk! Silk is breathable, meaning it doesn't harbor dust, mites, mold, yeast, and other allergens, reducing the likelihood of a trigger.

The fact that silk can absorb and retain moisture and release it into the air contributes to this breathability.

This unique property keeps you warm when it’s cool and cool when it’s warm.

Silk Provides Hydration

You cant get a fresh-looking face without hydration, and this is where silk shines the most.

Silk doesn’t wick away all the moisture present on your face. With cotton, it takes all the moisture and leaves you with dryness, which is especially bad for dry and sensitive skin types.

Sleeping On A Silk Will Give You Better Sleep

You shouldn't underestimate the importance of quality sleep. Sleep is more important than it is often let on. There are four stages in the sleep process, and the third one, deep sleep, is where the restorative and rejuvenation magic happens.

This is where you need to go to be fully recharged for the hustle and bustle of the next day.

Getting enough deep sleep positively impacts your skin because this is when the body goes into repair mode, generates more skin cells, and produces collagen, which is responsible for skin elasticity and firmness.

Improved blood flow at this stage delivers important nutrients to the skin, providing everything it needs to thrive.

Deep sleep also regulates hormonal balance and helps the skin recover moisture. If you are not getting the right amount of sleep, it could lead to puffy eyes and dark circles.

Overall, the quality of sleep you get affects your appearance.
