nss G-Club Beauty Secret: a special pillow There isn't a perfect night time skincare routine without a silk pillow

nss G-Club's journey in search of the best beauty secrets from around the world this time takes us into the bedroom.

It's no news that sleeping well is good for our health, mood and looks but what you may not know yet is that you can make better use of the tons of hours spent between yours sheets and blankets. True, we feel like we never get enough sleep, but we actually sleep for ⅓ of our life, which is why it's time to introduce a good night time beauty routine. How? You need to do a makeover, to your bed.

All you need is a pillowcase made of pure silk. This trend comes straight from Asia (aren’t we surprised), in particular, Japan: Rising Sun women prefer this specific fabric for its stunning effects on skin and hair. The softness and lightness of silk, characterized by a "slippery" texture, greatly reduce the friction of the pillow on our face and head. A continuous usage brings truly visible effects: it prevents the first wrinkles and makes the skin smoother and softer. Silk remains fresh and retains moisture better than cotton and is therefore perfect for people with very sensitive skin, who suffer from irritation, redness and eczema. Not to mention that this elegant fabric does not absorb the face creams and oils that we spread so carefully every night. Well, the classic cotton fabric does it so perhaps your pillowcase is more moisturized than your skin as of right now. As a result, a silk pillowcase gets less dirty and does not retain bacteria, thus preventing the appearance of pimples, blackheads and imperfections. 

But that's not all, because your hair will also benefit from it: the smooth surface prevents hair breakage and leads to fewer split ends. The hair will be less tangled, more hydrated and your blowout will last longer, thanks to the reduced electrostatic. It is no coincidence that women with very curly and/or afro hair have been protecting their hair by wrapping it in a turban overnightAmong the fans of silk pillowcases, we can find celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Victoria Beckham, Gisele Bündchen and Cindy Crawford. Do I need to say more?  One of the most popular collections is from the makeup artist Dariia Day who has also created a complete range of accessories 100% silk, including eye masks, scrunchies, bedsheets and underwear. 

Ditch your case and go to but this object of desire, available in different sizes, colours and qualities, suitable for all pockets. If you are still not convinced, try the double pillowcase: one side cotton and one side silk, half the price.
