Check out these 7 beauty benefits if you still need convincing.
SMOOTHER SKIN
Hate those weird lines after a heavy sleep on a cotton pillowcase? Never worry about sleep lines again when sleeping on a satin pillowcase. Satin allows your face to slide on the pillow as you shift throughout the night. Those deep lines on your face caused by cotton pillowcases will eventually cause wrinkles over time.
SOFTER SKIN
If dry skin has been a skin concern, sleeping on satin will help keep skin’s moisture. Cotton absorbs the skin’s natural oils which leaves face feeling dry. Satin will not absorb your skin’s natural oils and keep skin looking smooth and hydrated.
SHINY HAIR
Sick of dull, frizzy, and dry hair? Ditch the cotton pillowcase for a satin one. Cotton robs moisture not just from your face, but your hair as well. Since satin does not absorb moisture, great hair days are just a sleep away.
BYE, BYE BREAKAGE
Cotton pillowcases are rough on hair because of the friction created between the pillowcase and your hair. This rough friction results in unnecessary breakage and damage to hair. Since satin allows the head to glide easily, there is no friction to cause breakage. Extend the time between trims by sleeping on a satin pillowcase.
PREVENT HAIR LOSS
Those who are prone to spending a lot of time in bed, whether due to an illness or just enjoy a life of leisure are more likely to experience hair loss as a result of a cotton pillowcase. Hair that is constantly being rubbed against a pillowcase results in hair fallout. Satin pillowcases are effective in preventing excessive hair loss and are even recommended by doctors for those who are bedridden for extended periods of time.
EXTEND YOUR STYLE
Love that first-day style after a well-deserved salon trip? Keep your hair looking Day 1 great longer with a satin pillowcase. Satin pillowcases let hair slip and slide without tangling tresses. Tangles and knots in hair are a pain to deal with and can quickly ruin a perfectly good style.
HEALTHIER EYELASHES
Sleeping on a cotton pillowcase can cause friction and creasing of your eyelashes. Since satin causes very little friction between hair and lashes and the pillowcase, your lashes will be much healthier. The less your lashes bend during sleep, the less frequently they are likely to fall out. As you age brows and lashes will thin. By sleeping on a satin pillowcase, you can preserve your youth for a little longer.
