5 silk pieces every woman should own
Silk has always been a symbol of luxury and indulgence - and for good reason. The lush feeling against your skin. The sultry dance it plays with the light. The way if falls over your curves in all the right ways. There’s just something about silk that’s remarkably beautiful while also totally practical. Because of its versatility and beauty, there are several silk pieces we think every woman should own. Have you checked off these essentials yet?
01
a silk pillowcase
Many women don’t realize that a silk pillowcase is more about function that the gorgeous skin feel. The ‘slip’ of silk helps to prevent friction that causes frizzy hair and skin irritations. Even better, silk absorbs less moisture than cotton, meaning your nightly skincare will stay on your face, not in your pillow.
02
a silk bandana or scarf
Tie it around your bag or whisk your hair romantically away from the nape of your neck - there are so many ways to use a silk scarf. Plus, they are a classically chic piece that never goes out of style.
03
a silk eyemask
A major benefit of sleeping eye masks is that they provide you with complete and total darkness in all environments. It's been proven that darkness improves overall sleep as you are not disturbed by external light. Since this means your sleep is less likely to be interrupted, you will experience more REM sleep.
04
silk pajamas
Did you know silk can actually help to regulate temperature? It can help cool the body in warmer months with its breathability and preserve warth in colder weather.
Beacuase silk is highly breathable, it also can help with skin concerns like ecxema and congestion that often result from the skin being rubbed or not having proper airflow. (See 5 for why this is even more essential for long PJ sets!)
05
a silk robe or undergarments
Again, it is so important for your skin to breathe! When you’re lounging around and feeling indulgent, the last thing you want is for your underarms or intimate areas to start feeling… stuffy. Enough said.
