My skin and hair never felt this good before.

I had been skeptical about silk pillowcases for a long time. They seemed like the kind of thing that gets talked about on skincare accounts without a lot of real evidence behind it. Eventually, I tried one because someone I trusted told me it had changed her mornings, and I figured the downside was limited.

The ZIMASILK 100% Mulberry Silk Pillowcase is grade 6A silk on both sides. I noticed the difference in my hair first. I have wavy hair that tangles badly overnight on cotton. The first morning I woke up on the silk, my hair was in roughly the same shape I had left it in. Not styled, just not destroyed.

The skin difference took longer to notice. About a week in, I realized I was waking up without the crease marks across my cheek that I had assumed were just part of sleeping. They are not. They are friction from cotton. Silk absorbs significantly less moisture than cotton, which means the serums and moisturizers you apply before bed stay on your skin overnight rather than transferring to the pillowcase. I had not thought about this before. It changes the math on your skincare routine.

The hidden zipper keeps the pillow secure through the night. The fabric does not snag. It is machine washable on a gentle cycle, which I was worried about before buying.
