Silk is a breathable fabric as the fibres allow air to flow through. This means that it helps you to stay cool in the summer. However, don’t be fooled, silk also helps to regulate temperature, making it a brilliant insulator too, meaning that you will stay warm in the colder weathers as well.
Hair and skin can also benefit from silk duvet covers. Due to the smooth surface of the silk, there is less friction than on your average cotton duvet cover, so there is less tugging on your skin while you sleep, which can cause wrinkles, and you’re less likely to wake up with frizzy ‘bed head’. This also helps to preserve your hairstyles, saving you time on your morning beauty routine.
Those with sensitive skin also find comfort from silk duvet covers. Silk is hypoallergenic and very soft, and so causes a lot less irritation than cotton alternatives.
Silk is less absorbent than cotton, so any creams or lotions that you put on your hair or skin will stay where you put it, rather than being soaked up by your duvet cover, meaning you can reap their benefits to their entirety.
