Exclusive Interview With Lifestyle Asia India 

Silk pillowcases aren’t new to beauty. These investments are known for their varied skin and hair benefits – a facial that keeps the glow going, a blow-dry that can last longer. Frizz, tangles, wrinkles, acne – many claim these pillowcases are an overnight solution. Versions include soft, mulberry silk cases; silver ion technology infused ones to kill acne-causing bacteria; and those with fold-over layers so one has something fresh for every night. Not surprising then that everyone from Kim Kardashian to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has used them to enhance skin health. 

The good news is that you no longer need to cart these high-tech beauties from abroad. Dame Essentials, a new-age Indian label, is providing beauty aficionados with their nightly silk fix. With their pastel-hued pillowcases, sleep masks and even silk scrunchies, the brand offers a variety of options (even customised and monogrammed ones). Armaan Mann, founder, Dame Essentials, spoke to Lifestyle Asia about silk for long-lasting beauty.

I hope these words help you in some way or the other, the questions you always wanted answered but didn't know where to start. This article is my journey, my insight from the conversations I had.
