If you have acne and frizzy hair, and you’ve tried literally everything under the sun to help you with your woes, you might just be forgetting one thing – your pillowcase. In case you didn’t know, most pillowcases are made from fabric that not only harbours bacteria, but also tugs at your skin and hair, causing acne, dry skin, and frizzy, damaged hair. The solution? Silk pillowcases.

High quality silk pillowcases not only look good, but they’re also a thousand times better for your skin and hair (figuratively, don’t quote us on this). Silk is much less absorbent than cotton and polyester, so that the skincare on your face actually stays on your skin, rather than being absorbed by the pillowcase. Silk is also naturally hypoallergenic, antibacterial, and breathable, meaning that silk pillowcases won’t harbour acne-causing bacteria, making it all the better for your skin. Besides that, silk also doesn’t create any static or tug at your hair, so you’ll finally be able to wake up without that dreaded bedhead.
