A famous chocolate brand once marketed their chocolate bar
with the tag line ‘why have cotton when you can have silk’.
A powerful line that I couldn’t agree with more and now a
brand called Slipsilk are urging us to do the same when it comes to our night
time routine.
For those of you who haven’t heard of them before, Slip
are the creators of scientifically-tested pure silk pillowcases which offer a
huge range of solutions to your everyday (and
night) beauty concerns.
Intrigued? Well you should be!
By swapping your bog standard pillow cases for a Slipsilk
one you could see an immediate improvement to a whole host of beauty issues
such as;
ANTI-AGEING: Cotton scratches and drags against your delicate
facial skin, resulting in premature stretching and wrinkles where as SlipSilk™
allows your skin to glide across it therefore reducing friction and stretching.
SLEEP CREASE: Ever woken up with a sleep crease across your
face? I do frequently! While the creases go away during the day, believe it or
not they are actually gradually ‘ironed in’ over the years. Eek! SlipSilk™
reduces the repetitive drag and pressure which can cause ingrained sleep
creases.
SKIN & HAIR: Did
you know that up to 40% of face creams and serums can be transferred onto your cotton
pillowcases? Well they aren’t going to be doing a lot of good sat on your
pillowcase, plus the absorbent fabric also draws in moisture from from skin
leaving it prone to dryness and irritation. Silk fibres however are
significantly less absorbent than many others, so you can retain both your skin
and your hair’s moisture.
BED HEAD: Slipsilk pillowcases are infinitely more gentle on
your hair than cotton which can twist and tangle it during the night. This not
only damages your hair but also the follicles which could lead to thinner, less
healthy hair in the long run. SlipSilk™ helps to reduce that friction,
preserving your locks and keeping your hair looking healthy.
On top of all those beauty elements you may actually find
that you sleep better with a silk pillow as silk is a natural temperature
regulator, meaning it can stay cool all night long and for people with
allergies silk is naturally dust mite resistant.
It sounds too good to be true doesn’t it!
If you’re not ready to shell out the £75 on a pillowcase why
not start with one of their super cute Sleep Masks (£45)?
Available in a range of different shades these gorgeous
masks block out the light while preventing pulling and tugging around your
delicate eye area.
Crafted with the same high quality silk as their pillowcases
it is the perfect introduction to the brand and allows you to experience the
benefits of switching to silk.
The sleep masks are 100% pure silk, inside and out and are
made with pure silk filler, silk internal liner and a silk-covered elastic
band.
Sumptuously soft and luxurious to touch it feels wonderful
to put on at bed time.
My face did not get hot in the night as it has in the past
with previous masks and in the morning my face my line free and gorgeous.
(Well, as gorgeous as
my face ever is first thing in the morning!)
I can’t wait to upgrade my pillowcase now and experience the
full power of the Slipsilk pillowcase!
Slip's range of products are available online now.
