Silk pillowcases prevent fine lines and wrinkles

We hate to break it to you, but if you're a side or stomach sleeper using a cotton pillowcase, you're giving yourself wrinkles. Sleeping face down on a rough surface like cotton (or satin!) compresses your face for long hours at a time, contributing to fine lines and sleep wrinkles. "Silk is the best solution if people are going to be sleeping on their face." Because silk is nonabrasive, "it won't create wrinkles."

Silk pillowcases keep skin hydrated

Skin can retain more moisture instead of it getting absorbed into your sheets and pillows. Traditional cotton pillowcases are highly absorbent, meaning when you sleep, you're saying goodbye to your natural oils and skincare products and serums. With a silk pillowcase, your pricey nighttime products (and your own facial oils) stay where they're meant to—on your face, not your pillowcase.

Silk pillowcases fight acne

"One of the thoughts about acne is that your skin is too oily. The problem is more that your skin is dry, and your body is trying to make more oil to correct that. Well, if you're on a cotton sheet or a cotton pillowcase, that's pulling the moisture that your body is really looking for and actually making the acne worse." To combat moisture loss, he recommends adding something to your routine that's "more hydrating to the skin and [can] prevent the loss of hydration," like a silk pillowcase. "Our patients that do have acne really find a great benefit from it."

Silk pillowcases prevent dry and frizzy hair

In the same way silk pillowcases benefit your skin, they do wonders for your hair. "Silk pillowcases are great for your hair because it prevents the drying of the hair and the frizziness when you wake up."
