Silk Pillowcases
Silk pillowcases can be used as a home remedy for wrinkles. They’re seen as an alternative to sleeping on cotton or other fabrics that can cause facial wrinkles. Sleeping on silk helps the skin stay moisturized, which prevents and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Silk is a natural protein fiber made by silkworms. The most common type of silk comes from silkworms in the cocoon stage, who spin the fiber naturally using their saliva. The softness of silk comes from the fact that it’s very smooth, as well as it’s lightweight and durable. It’s also hypoallergenic and antibacterial and has a low thermal conductivity, so it doesn’t get hot or cold when touching your skin. Silk has been used for thousands of years for clothing because of its softness, durability, breathability, and comfort.
To add, silk has recently been introduced in the medical field, mostly for burn patients who are suffering from scarring that stems from burns. Silk gauze sheets are used to cover these patients, which help with their healing process.
