Benefits Of Using Lux Silk Pillowcase

Anti-Ageing

Silk pillowcases are anti-ageing (yes, really) because they do not cause wrinkles or marks on your face unlike sleeping on cotton pillowcases. Silk ­fibers are also signi­ficantly less absorbent than many other ­fibers, so they can help keep your skin’s moisture and expensive face and hair products where they belong, on your face and hair. The Lush Silk Pillowcase can help to reduce friction, which can reduce stretching and tugging on delicate facial skin.

Anti Sleep Crease

We've all woken up with sleep crease before, and it's not pretty. As skin ages, it loses elasticity and sleep creases can become more pronounced and longer-lasting. While the creases usually go away later that day, they can be gradually ‘ironed in’ over the years. The Lux Silk Pillowcase can help to reduce friction, allowing skin to glide along the pillow while reducing extra pressure on creased skin.

Anti Bed Head

Ordinary pillowcases can cause hair to pull and tangle throughout the night, leading to bed head in the morning and potentially damaging hair, whereas the Lush Silk Pillowcase can help to reduce friction. The world’s most renowned hairstylists and beauty experts have long recommended sleeping on gentle, hair friendly silk to help preserve your blow out.

Reduce Chemical Exposure

We constantly come into contact with chemicals, but you can reduce that chemical exposure during your night’s sleep. Silk is produced from domesticated silk worms that are bred and raised in captivity. 

Hypoallergenic

Some of silk’s hypoallergenic properties include a natural resistance to dust mites, fungus and mold, in addition to many other allergens.

Caring for your Lux Silk Pillowcase

• pH neutral liquid detergent 
• machine wash delicate 30°C (86°F) (delicates wash bag)
• hand wash 30°C (86°F)
• dry clean
• no trichloroethylene
• iron low heat
• steam or dry
• do not bleach
• do not tumble dry

Traditionally, silk is hand wash and dry clean only. Ours are of the highest quality so they are machine washable, but they are still silk and need as much care as we can give them.

ALWAYS use a ph neutral liquid detergent and/or fabric softener. Silk is a natural fibre and washing in a solution that’s too acidic or alkaline can cause the silk to harden in a single wash. If you can't find a detergent that specifies ph level then just go for one that specifies silk. Do not use bleach products.

Another important factor is water temperature. Even just slightly above 30 degrees Centigrade or 85 degrees Fahrenheit can change silk dramatically. The safest method if your machine doesn't specify exact heat settings is either cold or just one level above cold.

A delicates bag is optional, depending on your washing machine and whether or not it tends to grab items and tear them. 

If you wish to maximise the life of your pillowcase, hand washing is the ultimate method.

The gentler you wash your slip pillow case, the longer it will keep its sheen. The shinier it is, the better it will 'slip', which is one of the benefits to its health and beauty qualities.

The same goes for drying your pillowcase, do not place in tumble dryer.

In other words, the better you care for your slip pillow case, the better it will care for you.
