Benefits of Satin

1. Smoother Skin

Sleeping on a cotton pillowcase can result in sleep lines on your face. This may not seem that bad because sleep lines go away, but over time sleeping on a cotton pillowcase can also result in permanent wrinkles. Cotton doesn’t allow your skin to slide on the pillow as you move, which is why you can end up with sleep lines or wrinkles. However, if you switch to sleeping on a satin pillowcase you can avoid the lines and wrinkles because the satin allows your face to slide on the pillow. [5]

2. Softer Skin

Cotton pillowcases can rob moisture from your face by absorbing your skin’s natural oils. As a result, your skin can become drier. Switching to a satin pillowcase can help you keep your skin soft and moisturized because satin doesn’t absorb your skin’s natural oils like cotton does. [5]

3. Shinier Hair

Just like cotton pillowcases absorb moisture from your skin, they also absorb moisture from your hair. This can leave you with dull, frazzled hair. Since satin won’t absorb the moisture from your hair, your hair will stay smooth and shiny when you sleep on satin pillowcases. [5]
