Slip silk pillowcase
Heavenly pillowcases for beautifying retreat sleeps
The Slip silk pillowcase is a beauty secret recommended by dermatologists, beauty therapists and hairdressers. It's rather a marvellous prescription for beauty sleep, as it's anti ageing, anti sleep-crease and anti bed-head.
Cotton can tug delicate facial skin which leads to premature ageing and sleep-crease face. Super absorbent, cotton also sucks moisture (and expensive moisturiser) from your skin. The dastardly devil can even damage hair by grabbing it and twisting it at the root.
Step in the Slip silk pillow case, made from 22 momme mulberry silk - the 22 bit refers to how heavy and soft the silk is; 22 momme is the 22-carat gold of the silk world. Slip silk allows your skin to glide along the pillow so your face gently rests and slides rather than suffering crease-inducing drags which can lead to wrinkles when you lie on them. It metaphorically stokes your hair, saving you tugging to detangle, and by looking after delicate locks, there’s less loss.
Slip silk is hypoallergenic and dust mite resistant too, and as it’s just a slip of a thing, it’s easy to slip (sorry) into your luggage while retreating. It will also keep you deliciously cool on the hottest of healthy holidays. Hand washing will keep it looking regal.
They do sleep masks, scrunchies and neck rests for travel too.
Retail Therapy: From £89 for a Queen pillowcase.
