Why is silk beneficial for our skin?
Silk has been a symbol of luxury, beauty and social status for centuries.
Thanks to its multiple properties, nowadays silk is also a champion among the natural remedies both for relieving health (and skin) conditions and improving daily skincare.
One of the chief benefits of silk consists of its natural ability to regulate body temperature. What does this mean?
Silk is a natural fiber that results in a transpiring fabric that softly keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter, allowing the body to maintain a natural and comfortable temperature.
Silk as a beauty treatment during sleep
Silk does have other incredible benefits, especially for our nightly beauty care! It favors a proper balance of hydration: unlike cotton, that absorbs about 30% of its weight in liquid, silk moisture absorption rate is only 11%. It means that not only silk helps to maintain skin and hair natural hydration, but it also guarantees clean and hygienic surfaces!
And what about all the expensive beauty creams that we use before going to bed? Well, thanks to this impressive property, if you sleep in silk sheets and pillows, or if you wear it during the night, all those products will stay on your face, body and hair!
And there's more! Silk is also a naturally hypoallergenic material, as it does not attract dust mites or give skin fungus, and it contains natural proteins that speed up the metabolism of skin cells and help to slow down the skin ageing process.
And if you are wondering…Yes, silk is a valuable remedy to prevent wrinkles!
Last but not least, with silk sheets and pillowcases you will probably never have trouble sleeping again.
Studies have shown that the natural properties of this incredible material, including softness and shine, relax the nervous system and consequently help complete the sleep cycle that each of us needs.
