The sun, pollution, stress, smoking and many other factors dry your skin and hair.  Dried out skin is naturally prone to aging. In addition, sleeping on the rough fibers of traditional cotton, linen or polyester pillowcases cause facial creases, which further contribute to the formation of lines and wrinkles. These highly absorbent fabrics can also wick away the moisture from your skin and hair, as well as your night skin-care product. 

Silk pillowcases prevent facial skin from creasing during the night. The smooth surface allows the skin to glide across the pillow so the face rests comfortably without placing pressure on creased skin. Sleeping on a SilkLady pillowcase will alleviate friction and maintain hydration while you sleep and provide you with a hydrated and rested feeling upon waking. Silk pillowcases help to keep your skin-care products on your skin and assist you to make the most of your beauty routine. You will immediately notice the difference with this natural and effortless way of eliminating sleep wrinkles.

Silk is made up of strings of amino acid which have the same ph level as your skin. These proteins help to prevent your hair from frizzing and split ends. Silk also reduces the loss of natural hair oils and moisture by preventing osmosis, leaving its natural shine intact. Our unique pillowcases will help minimise damage to thinning, delicate hair or regrowth where hair-loss has been induced.

Silklady pillowcases are naturally hypoallergenic. Since silk is a high molecular form of protein, it has a strong affinity for bio-organisms, and has the unusual characteristic of preventing the growth of micro organisms and bacteria. The closely woven nature of silk makes it inhospitable for dust mites – properties that have proven to ease conditions such as eczema and asthma. Silk is fungi immune and does not contain harmful trace chemicals and therefore is resistant to mold and deterioration.

Babies and young children spend much of their time asleep. The fabric they sleep on plays an important role in their health and happiness.  Since silk is hypoallergenic, by letting your baby sleep on a silk pillowcase, you prevent her from breathing in allergens such as dust mites and their secretions.

A baby’s skin has a tendency to dry and become irritated. Silk does not absorb natural oils and moisture from skin and hair. In addition, the smooth and soft surface of our pillowcases help prevent loosing hair at the back of babies heads. Silk also has an amazing ability to regulate temperature. When your baby is warm, silk will help to cool, and if your baby is cold, silk will help to warm. Silk, by far, is the most comfortable, safe and soft fabric that we as parents can offer our little ones.

Dermatologists, hair specialists and plastic surgeons all recommend sleeping on 100% silk pillowcases. You benefit while you sleep, you don’t waste your night skin-care product and you prevent your skin from creasing so you successfully delay the aging process.

Care Instructions from the manufacturer

With proper care and maintenance, this luxury pillowcase will provide years of comfort.

Even though our silk pillowcases feel extremely soft on the surface, they are also very thick and durable. Silk has a high tensile strength which allows it to withstand great pulling pressure. In ancient China, silk was used as part of the under-armour garment to stop arrow penetration into the body.

Always take off your make-up and mascara before you go to bed. Not only would your skin benefit by being able to breath, rest and recover, but your white silk pillowcase would not stain. Do not bleach.

For best results, hand wash your pillowcase inside out in a normal temperature of cold water, using a mild neutral detergent.

Most modern washing machines have a gentle silk or wool cycle, so you can confidently wash it at 30 degrees Celsius. Place the pillowcase in a laundry bag before placing it in the washing machine. Wash separately from colours.

Avoid tumble-drying and direct sunlight. When 80 – 90% dry, iron inside out using a low or silk setting.

Do not use cotton cycle on your washing machine at 40 degrees Celsius. This will cause the loss of softness.

Small tip from our silk specialists:

When rinsing add a small spoon of vinegar, it will prevent the silk from stiffening, and it will keep it soft and bright in colour.
