Silk is known to help your skin retain moisture, so if you then use some lotion or serum makeup changes to maintain your skin's moisture before going to bed, a silk pillowcase can wish you luck, even if your face gets on top of it, it won't wipe away your makeup by touching it against the pillowcase and wicks away the excess moisture like a cotton pillowcase.

Summer nights can often be a bad time to sleep because of the heat, and too much sweating can make your pillowcase uncomfortable. However, silk pillowcases do have temperature regulating properties that can help you regulate the temperature near your neck. You'll never feel irritated by excessive sweating again, which is why silk bedding is very popular with hot sleepers. The natural cooling sensation means you don't need to worry about having trouble sleeping in the summer!

Silk is the only fabric that does not harbor bacteria and mites. Many fabrics harbor bacteria and mites when they have been exposed to sweat or dust fusion, but silk is naturally antimicrobial, which is why many patients recovering from surgery are recommended to use silk bedding while sleeping to aid in wound recovery.
