A natural and breathable fabric, the fibers of mulberry silk possess hypoallergenic properties, and reduce the collection of dust and bacteria on your pillowcase, thereby effectively managing sensitive or allergy-prone skin types.

Can a silk pillowcase help with hair fall?

A silk pillowcase can definitely help reduce hair fall that’s caused by friction. Silk’s smooth surface means less tugging and tangling while you sleep, which reduces breakage. It’s a great way to help keep your hair healthier over time. Of course, if your hair fall is due to other reasons, like genetics or health issues, silk won’t solve that—but it’s a great tool to protect your hair at night.

Can silk pillowcases help with acne prevention?

Yes, a silk pillowcase can help with acne prevention. Since silk is so smooth, it causes less friction on your skin, which can minimize irritation and reduce the likelihood of breakouts. Another bonus is that silk doesn’t absorb moisture like cotton does, so it won't soak up your skincare products, letting them stay on your face where they can do their job.

Can I use my silk pillowcase with skincare products?

Absolutely! Silk pillowcases are gentle on your skin and work harmoniously with your skincare routine.

You’ll likely start noticing the benefits pretty quickly—within a few days to a week. For your hair, you might experience less frizz and breakage after just a few nights. As for your skin, silk can help keep it hydrated and smooth by reducing friction, so over time, you’ll see fewer creases and a more refreshed look when you wake up. Opting for a silk scrunchie or a silk hair wrap additionally with a pillow cover, can also improve your hair health significantly.
