The Science Behind Beauty Sleep
Beauty sleep is not just a cute Instagram caption or an excuse for skipping that dreadful lunch. It's legit science!
-
It helps your skin heal
During deep sleep, your body produces collagen, the protein that is responsible for keeping your skin plump and youthful. This is the time when your skin gets its repair work done. Therefore, your silk pillow covers become your skincare sidekick when you sleep.
-
Cell Renewal
Night time is when your skin's cell turnover literally skyrockets. This means that your dead skin cells get that much-needed boost and glowing ones rise to the surface. Using a gentle Mulberry silk pillowcase, can help with this process without causing any irritation.

Bye Bye Hair Drama
Tossing and turning on cotton is so off-putting. If you are looking for a pillowcase for hair breakage protection, silk’s ultra-smooth surface can reduce friction and help your hair stay shiny and fabulous. No matter if you are rocking curls, blowouts, or going for that messy hair vibe, Silk has got your back. Silk dual-side pillow covers, one-side pillowcases, or silk pillowcase without borders from Dame Essentials have got your back.

Skincare products also get a place to stay
Cotton pillowcases love stealing your skincare. They are literally those little thieves that break into at night. Silk pillowcases, however, are far less absorbent. And therefore, your nighttime skincare essentials will stay on your face and not on your pillow.

Care & Maintenance Tips For Mulberry Silk Pillow Case

Wash it like you mean it
Hand wash only. Use lukewarm water, 25 degrees Celsius to be exact. Treat your mulberry silk pillowcase like an expensive night cream that you literally cried while paying for.
No machines allowed
Keep your anti-frizz pillowcase for smooth shiny hair out of the machine. That spin cycle drama is not going to be cute for silk. If you want to continue reaping the beauty benefits of sleeping on silk pillowcases, hand washing is absolutely non-negotiable. Iron on silk setting Flip your Mulberry Silk Pillowcase inside out and set your iron on silk mode to straighten out any wrinkles. Don't pull or tug
Silk is soft. It is not stretchable. If you rough it up like your hoodie, you are doing it all wrong. Be gentle and delicate, like your feelings are after watching a rom-com.
