You’ve undoubtedly heard something about silk pillowcases – but maybe you haven’t looked into it because it sounds a tad too decadent. Well, rest assured that nothing is too decadent for your skin and hair. Silk pillowcases, alongside their luxurious feel, are becoming more essential by the day.

This is your chance to combine the decadence of a silk pillowcase with your day-to-day life. If you’ve had issues with dry, irritated skin, frizzy hair, or your moisturiser or serums rubbing off on those hyper-absorbent polyester blends from the back of your mom’s linen cupboard, this is the solution for you. This is one of the easiest, best steps to make a noticeable change in your sleep hygiene.

Are Silk Pillowcases Good?

To cut to the heart of it: yes. Silk pillowcases offer a myriad of benefits, including making you feel like royalty right out of a Disney movie.


Silk pillowcases excel because of their benefits to your skin and hair. Both skin and hair can be fussy – and individualistic to boot. Just because something works for your friend or sibling does not mean it will work for you. Silk pillowcases are unique as they will improve your skin and hair regardless, without requiring any topical application or patch testing.

What are the Benefits of Using Silk Pillowcases?

One of the main reasons silk pillowcases are becoming a staple in skincare and haircare is because of silk’s inherent properties. As a material, silk absorbs very little moisture. In turn, this helps with skin. Hair-wise, you’ll be resting on a surface as smooth as butter, reducing friction and those frizzy, messy bedheads.

How do Silk Pillowcases Help with Reducing Wrinkles and Skincare?

By not absorbing moisture or skincare products and preventing tugging on the sensitive skin of your face, silk pillowcases help to keep your skin hydrated and irritant-free. One of the quickest things to age your skin is dehydration. It’s responsible for the elasticity of your skin, which fights sunburn and UV damage.


While drinking more water is necessary, you also want to prevent your skin from losing this water. Silk pillowcases absorb so little of your skin’s natural and added moisture that you’ll wake up feeling as though you’ve just slathered your face in that expensive face serum you love so much. Simple – but gloriously effective.


Additionally, silk pillowcases regulate temperature, keeping you cool in summer but warm in winter.

Are Silk Pillowcases Suitable for All Hair Types?

It sure is. Silk has been used not just as pillowcases for people with textured and curly hair but also for sleeping caps, hair wraps, hijab caps and more. The smooth surface allows all hair types to glide, preventing tugging and snagging. Silk pillowcases are also great for extending the life of blowouts, curls and other hairstyles.

Can I Machine-Wash Silk Pillowcases?

Yes, you can machine-wash silk pillowcases – but you must do so carefully to prolong their efficacy. Always read the care instructions before forging ahead with your wash!

Pop your silk pillowcase into your washing machine on a gentle cycle, and use a mesh laundry bag. This laundry bag will help to protect it during the wash. Choose a gentle detergent, as well as a cold temperature. If your silk pillowcase is especially delicate, you can stop your washing machine before the spin cycle.

Pro tip: add around ¼ to ½ cup of distilled white vinegar to the fabric softener dispenser when washing your silk pillowcases. This will result in a super smooth pillowcase with none of the detergent’s residue.
