But, it requires a consistent and dedicated regimen to achieve the desired results. Apart from following an adequate skin and hair care routine, did you know you can take care of your skin and hair even when you are asleep?
No, we are not talking about how good sleep is essential for your health and, in turn, your skin and hair. The pillowcase you use while sleeping can also impact your skin and hair in numerous ways. While most of us end up using a cotton pillowcase, it is suggested to use a silk pillowcase while sleeping. Dermatologist Dr Geetika Mittal Gupta, recently, shared the many skin and hair benefits of using a silk pillowcase.

Improves hair hydration
Waking up to frizzy hair is a common issue. But, due to the smooth texture of silk pillowcases, your hair do not undergo friction, giving you smooth, frizz-free hair in the morning.
Prevents dandruff
According to the dermatologist, sleeping on a silk pillowcase “prevents your hair from dandruff“.
Improves skin hydration
The fabric helps keep your skin hydrated and smooth by keeping its moisture content intact. If you are someone with dry skin, you must opt for a silk pillowcase.
Prevents fine lines and wrinkles
As mentioned earlier, silk pillowcases reduce friction on the skin. This helps prevent wrinkles and fine lines, Dr Gupta said.
