1. Take out the tug
Did you know the sleek, smooth surface of satin actually physically causes less friction than other fabrics, such as cotton? Cotton actually has a tendency to pull on hair and cause inflammation on your face due to its rougher surface. This means switching over to smooth satin can have drastic benefits on skin problems like acne as well as general hair frizziness, dryness, etc.
2. Keep your creams on
One of the least discussed reasons that traditional cotton pillowcases cause problems for your skin and hair is that they are highly absorbent. That means a huge percentage of any beauty products you wear to bed just goes to waste.
3. Reduce hair loss
Because of cotton’s high-friction surface, your hairs are more likely to get stuck on your pillow. When you twist and turn (as most sleepers do) this also means that your pillow is causing a lot of wear and tear on your hair strands. A satin pillowcase’s smoother surface lowers this wear and tear keeping your hair healthier and on your head longer.
4. Reduce wrinkles
We already mentioned how cotton pillowcases are more likely to inflame and even cause acne, but did you know cotton also creates more wrinkles on your face over time? Due to the high-friction surface, your skin is more likely to get folded on top of itself in different ways. Over years and years of sleeping, this leads to the development of wrinkles.
