You likely already know that getting a good night's rest is essential for your
health and looks, but did you know that you could further capitalize on those
beauty sleep gains by swapping out your sheets? Namely, we're talking about
opting for a silk pillowcase. Yes, of course, it feels ultra-luxurious and
indulgent, but there are also legit benefits to snoozing on silk.





"Cotton or linen pillowcases can cause friction and pulling on the skin, leading
to lines and wrinkles over time," explains Devika Icecreamwala, M.D., a
Berkeley, California-based dermatologist. "Silk pillowcases glide over your face
and reduce this tugging. "While they're admittedly not some kind of miraculous
anti-aging cure—you still need to abide by all your other wrinkle-prevention
practices, like using sunscreen daily—they can be one helpful piece of the
puzzle. They're also beneficial for those with sensitive or dry complexions; not
only is silk hypoallergenic but, unlike cotton, it doesn't absorb moisture from
your skin, says Dr. Icecreamwala. (Related: The 10 Best Body Lotions for Dry
Skin)



The benefits are similar when it comes to hair. Silk pillowcases are a good
option for pretty much all hair types, but especially those with curly, frizzy
hair, says celebrity stylist René Fris of Salon SCK in New York City and founder
of the eponymous product line. Again. That's because there's less friction and
the hair is gliding smoothly across your pillow, it's less likely that the
cuticle (the outermost layer of the hair) will get roughed up. The result?
Smoother strands that are easier to brush out, fewer tangles, and less frizz,
points out Fris.





If you're considering investing in a silk pillowcase, there are a few things you
should know, including how to wash a silk pillowcase. As with any pillowcase,
it's important to wash it regularly; dirt, oil, and bacteria can build up on a
silk pillowcase just like they would on a cotton one, upping the likelihood of
breakouts, says Dr. Icecreamwala. Be sure to follow the care instructions on the
specific pillowcase you have, but generally, these either need to be hand-washed
or machine-washed on the delicate cycle and line-dried. (Related: This Woman
Found 100 Mites In Her Eyes After Not Washing Her Pillowcase for 5 Years)



You might also be wondering if you should be opting for a silk or satin
pillowcase. There is in fact a difference between these two. Silk is a natural
fiber and a type of fabric derived from the silkworm. Satin, on the other hand,
is a fabric weave. Any fabric can technically have a satin weave, silk included.
But to reap the benefits mentioned above, you'll want a true silk pillowcase.



Sold on silk? Try one of the highly-rated silk pillowcases below to tame frizzy
hair and minimize wrinkles.


MYK PURE NATURAL MULBERRY SILK PILLOWCASE

Despite the fact that mulberry silk is one of the best silks you can get, this
Amazon fave still rings in at a very wallet-friendly price. It comes in all
different sizes and colors and is machine washable—always a major win.



Buy It: MYK Pure Natural Mulberry Silk Pillowcase, $26, amazon.com


SLIP PURE SILK PILLOWCASE

Perhaps one of the most popular brands out there, this Slip silk pillowcase has
legions of devoted celeb, hairstylist, and beauty editor fans—and for good
reason. Lab tests show that it reduces frizz by 43 percent as compared to a
cotton pillowcase. It also comes in both standard and king sizes, and an array
of pretty neutrals that will coordinate with any bedding.



Buy It: Slip Pure Silk Pillowcase, from $85, nordstrom.com


SLPBABY SILK PILLOWCASE

Who says bedding needs to be boring? This pillowcase comes in a wide array of
bold prints and patterns (and solids, too). Also nice: It has a side zipper
enclosure that keeps whichever pretty pick you choose from sliding off your
pillow. (Related: The Best Weighted Blankets for People Who Are Always Cold)



Buy It: SLPBaby Silk Pillowcase, from $20, amazon.com


BLISSY SILK PILLOWCASE

While it might be a splurge, this high-quality option is made from 22-momme
mulberry silk. Like thread count is to cotton, momme refers to the fabric
weight, and 22 is quite high. This Blissy silk pillowcase is hypoallergenic,
too, and as smooth as a baby's you-know-what.



Buy It: Blissy Silk Pillowcase, $70, $90, blissy.com


SPASILK 100% PURE SILK PILLOWCASE

Available in 14 different colorways and five different sizes, there's no
shortage of options when it comes to this silk pillowcase from Walmart. Made of
charmeuse silk—a specially woven silk that's extra shiny—it's also completely
hypoallergenic, which is ideal for allergy sufferers.



Buy It: Spasilk 100% Pure Silk Pillowcase, from $23, walmart.com


CELESTIAL SILK 100% SILK PILLOWCASE

When it comes to silk, 25-momme is truly the best you can get; think of it as
the equivalent of Egyptian cotton. Treat yourself to this luxe pick, which is
also hypoallergenic, free of any chemicals, and comes in 22 versatile shades
that'll match with your current sheets. (Related: All the Products You Need for
Better Sleep, According to a Sleep Snob)



Buy It: Celestial Silk 100% Silk Pillowcase, from $36, amazon.com


THE HOLLYWOOD SILK SOLUTION SILK PILLOWCASE

Devoted cotton sheet fans will appreciate that this choice features 100 percent
silk on one side, but cotton on the other. It's ideal for anyone who isn't sure
if they'll love sleeping on silk, or who simply wants options.
