Silk vs. Cotton – Why Your Hair and Skin Deserve Better

Silk vs. Cotton – Why Your Hair and Skin Deserve Better

Discover how switching from cotton to silk can transform your nighttime routine and protect what matters most: your skin and your hair.

You care about your skin. You invest in your hair. But what if your cotton pillowcase or sleepwear is silently undoing all that care, every single night?

Here’s what the beauty industry doesn’t always tell you: cotton absorbs. Silk protects.

1. Moisture Retention
Cotton absorbs moisture from your skin and hair, leading to dryness and breakage. Silk, on the other hand, helps retain natural hydration, keeping your skin soft and your hair smooth.

2. Friction-Free Sleep
Tossing and turning on cotton creates friction that can cause wrinkles, frizz, and hair tangles. Silk offers a smooth, glide-like surface that reduces stress on skin and strands.

3. Temperature Regulation
Silk naturally adjusts to your body temperature, keeping you cool in the summer and cozy in the cold — unlike cotton, which can trap heat and moisture.

4. Gentle on Sensitive Skin
For those with eczema, acne-prone skin or allergies, silk is hypoallergenic and non-irritating. Cotton can cling, rub, and irritate delicate skin.

5. Luxury That Lasts
Silk may feel like a treat, but it's also a smart investment. High-quality Mulberry silk outlasts cotton and looks beautiful for years with proper care.

Ready to Sleep Smarter?
Your nighttime routine should protect your beauty, not damage it. Switch to silk and wake up with radiant skin and healthy, frizz-free hair.
