The many skin and hair benefits of sleeping on a silk pillowcase

We all wish for silky-smooth hair and flawless skin. But, it requires a consent and dedicated regimen to achieve the desired results. Apart from following an adequate skin and hair care routine, did you know you can take care of your skin and hair even when you are asleep?
No, we are not talking about how good sleep is essential for your health and, in turn, your skin and hair. The pillowcase you use while sleeping can also impact your skin and hair in numerous ways. While most of us end up using a cotton pillowcase, it is suggested to use a silk pillowcase while sleeping. Dermatolog Dr Geetika Mittal Gupta, recently, shared the many skin and hair benefits of using a silk pillowcase.
Take a look.

Waking up to frizzy hair is a common issue. But, due to the smooth texture of silk pillowcases, your hair do not undergo friction, giving you smooth, frizz-free hair in the morning.

Prevents dandruff
According to the dermatolog, sleeping on a silk pillowcase “prevents your hair from dandruff“.

The fabric helps keep your skin hydrated and smooth keeping its moure content intact. If you are someone with dry skin, you must opt for a silk pillowcase.
