Why you need a peace silk pillowcase for your beauty sleep

Never miss your 8 hours of rest again with a comfortable and luxurious peace silk pillowcase

If you dream of getting a perfect night’s sleep every night, your traditional cotton pillowcases and duvet sets aren’t going to cut it.

Investing in your sleep is one of the wisest things you can do with your money. Not only will the right sleep accessories allow you to drift off into a peaceful night’s sleep every night, but they will help you wake up feeling refreshed and energised throughout the day.

Many people agree that the secret to good beauty sleep lies in where you rest your head – your pillowcase.

Choosing the right pillowcase for you can come down to a range of decisions, but one of the most important is the material that your case is made out of.

And when it comes to pillowcase materials, silk is always coming out on top. Not only is it super comfortable and luxurious, but it also provides a range of beauty-related benefits.

There are a few varieties of silk, but our favourite at White Lotus is peace silk; it’s what we use in our pillowcases and eye masks, and we think you’re going to love it just as much as we do.

How is peace/ahimsa silk made?

Peace silk is made in a similar way to other silk however, during the process of making peace silk, the moth is allowed to pierce the cocoon and leave (as opposed to traditional methods where the moth is boiled inside the cocoon).

Is ahimsa peace silk the most ethical silk?

Yes, ahimsa silk is known for being one of the most ethical silks. The name ahimsa translates to non-violent because this type of silk is a lot more ethical compared to other rearing methods.

This makes it a good choice for people who want to balance luxury with high animal welfare as, when it comes to rearing silkworms to produce silk, it can often be a process that doesn’t care too much for animal welfare.

What are the benefits of an ethical silk pillowcase?

Dermatologists and facialists alike all praise silk for its ability to save our skin, scalps and hair thanks to a whole host of impressive beauty benefits like hydrating the skin, strengthening your hair, nourishing your scalp, and reducing redness while you sleep.

You could be using various lotions, potions and creams to keep your youthful glow lasting as long as possible, but you could make things even easier when using the right bedding.

Here are just some of the reasons we think you should make the switch to a peace silk pillowcase:

Keeps your skin cooler while you sleep

The synthetic materials that are often used in pillowcases can trap heat while you’re sleeping, so if you want to keep calm and cool overnight it’s best to opt for a natural fibre that’s much more breathable.

When your skin is cooler, it reduces excessive sweating which can really help your skin, making it less prone to redness and inflammation. 

Cooler temperatures can keep your skin looking bright, depuffed and glowing.

Ahimsa silk may help alleviate symptoms of eczema and dermatitis

Silk has also started to be used to alleviate the symptoms of eczema and dermatitis. This is because the material is much smoother and doesn’t cause as much irritation, which is especially useful for those who suffer from sensitive skin.

Improves the efficacy of your skincare routine

Silk is less absorbent than synthetic materials and causes less friction so you can be sure that your expensive products will work to their full potential while you’re sleeping.

When you’ve spent time diligently applying your skincare products, the last thing you want to do is to rub everything off the second your head hits the pillow.

Think of all the money you’ve invested into your serums, moisturisers and oils. It’s a total waste of money if they don’t even stay on your skin to work their magic overnight.

With a peace silk pillowcase, there’s a much better chance of your skincare products staying where they belong: on your face.

Keeps your hair frizz-free

Silk is actually an anti-static material, meaning that it won’t mess up your hair – even if you spend the whole night tossing and turning.

Do you ever wake up and realise that your hair has gone crazy and frizzy overnight?

This is because your pillow can often be rough on your hair, which can cause damage overnight.

Ahimsa peace silk helps strengthen your hair

The smooth and glossy texture of our peace silk pillowcases is gentle and protective. It’s even been found that the proteins found in silk adhere to the keratin in our hair which protects each individual strand to keep things strong and healthy.

Keeps you looking youthful for longer

Silk pillowcases help to reduce skin creasing, which can often lead to premature wrinkles. It’s a far more gentle fabric so even if you have sensitive skin, you don’t have to worry about picking up on those pesky fine lines next time you look in the mirror.

Everyone dreams of retaining a youthful glow for as long as possible and an ethical silk pillowcase could be the secret to doing this.

Sleeping on a natural silk pillowcase has been shown in studies to limit the amount of friction caused to your skin during sleep.

The Ahimsa silk pillowcase also forms a delicate moisture barrier against the skin which makes sure any vital moisture does not absorb into the pillow overnight.
