Benefits of silk

SKINCARE

Silk could protect and prevent wrinkles on the facial skin and neck area. Silk is far less absorbent than cotton. Therefore any face cream you put on at night will not be absorbed into the pillowcase as soon as you lay down. Your expensive face cream will have a much longer time to work, making your sleep truly beauty rest. Cotton pillowcase, no matter how high the thread count is very rough on the skin. It can try out your skin which results to creases that eventually lead to wrinkles.It is estimated that after sun damage, one of the biggest causes of skin ageing comes from sleeping on traditional cotton, linen or polyester. These fabrics have a high absorbency rate stealing moisture to leave the skin in desperate need of a thirst quench. Dried out skin is naturally prone to ageing, while sleeping on what is a relatively rough surface can significantly contribute to the formation of lines and creases. Silk proactively retains moisture, while the fine soft nature of the fibres provides a smooth base for you to rest your head.You may not wish to spend many hundreds on silk duvets, sheets and coverings... but you can bring these exceptional benefits to your skin immediately with affordable Relaxsilk.co.uk products.
