We spend about one-third of our lives either sleeping or attempting to sleep. A pleasant, valuable night's sleep is not only the base of our well-being but also of the care of our body. The Her Motions® Satin Pillowcase is the guarantee of a peaceful sleep, smooth skin and shiny hair.
Our satin pillowcase is recommended by dermatologists and this is why:
SKIN
It keeps your skin soft and moisturized
Cotton creates a lot of friction - These frictions irritate and damage your skin throughout the night. Cotton is also highly absorbent. While you sleep, your cotton pillowcase absorbs your skin's natural oils and moisture. Which leaves your skin dry, rough and itchy after a night of sleep. When your skin is dry it tries to make a lot of oil to repair the damage, which causes clogged pores and blemishes. Satin is non-absorbent - and smooth, therefore helps preserve the moisture and natural oils in the skin and hair. Satin also won't absorb any applied night creams. Leaving your skin moisturized and healthy. It also protecs your eyelashes from dehydration and breakage and it avoids permanent lines and wrinkles in your face.
It reduces acne and blemishes
Cotton is know for being absorbent - like we've told you before. That's why cotton pillowcases tend to absorb makeup residue, oils, and sweat. Yak! Your pores can end up clogged. If you’re prone to breakouts they can exacerbate an already delicate situation and cause micro-irritation. Bacteria can contaminate these clogged follicles, which over time will enlarge producing a bump. As this enlarges, it can rupture which can cause inflammation and a build-up of pus. This results in the much-dreaded acne. Our satin pillowcases does not clog pores - it won't absorb moisture or products making it healthy for the skin in general. Satin is also smoother, tight woven fabric, it will be smoother on your skin and cause less friction and rubbing on your skin, which can help to reduce redness. If your skin is particularly sensitive, it will help to reduce puffiness and swelling.
HAIR
Your hair will stay moisturized, smooth and shiny
Cotton seems to feel smooth at first, but - when you look closer you see that it contains a lot of fibers. These cause harmful frictions on hair and skin. Your hair will frizz because of this, appear dull and sit tangled. That's exactly what we don't want. Satin is a method of weaving - and not a material in itself. This is something that is often misunderstood. The satin weave creates a fabric that is shiny and soft with a luxurious feeling. Your hair will be healthier with our satin pillowcase that's why your hair will stay shiny and soft. Just like we've told you by 'it keeps your skin soft and moisturized', satin also doesn't strip natural oil and moisture from your hair, keeping it nourished. That's what why we love our satin pillowcases so much!
You'll have less hair breakage and tangles and your hair will stay in shape
Cotton isn't soft enough - because of the many fibers. It creates friction between your hair and the pillowcase. Turning back and forth on these kind of pillowcases will cause breakage mainly on the ends of the hair and causes your hair to get tangled. Satin is so smooth that - the hair slides over it easily without causing friction. The hair has no possibility of breaking off because it will not be damaged at all. You hair is also less likely to tangle, simply because our satin pillowcase is so smooth. Your hair stays in shape. This creates so much more time and less frustration in the morning.
Reduces oily hair
Just like your skin, your scalp will try to produce more oil because it's stripped off it's natural oil by a cotton pillowcase. It tries to repair the damage which causes an oily scalp. Because our satin pillowcase doesn't damage the hair it does not need to produce more oil. This automatically means that your hair will be less greasy.
Anti-Allergenic
It's anti-allergenic against dust mites
The tight kind of weave - of the satin fabric gives bacteria and dust mites less of a chance to crawl into your pillow(case). That's why our satin pillowcases are hypoallergenic. It is an environment dust mites find inhospitable. The reduction of dust mites - can have a direct effect on the quality of sleep to those who suffer from dust mite related allergies. Because of the tight weave there is not much space that allows dust and other allergens to sit and irritate your skin, eyes, or nasal passages.
Refreshing
Satin feels cool and refreshing
We're use satin that feels very cool and refreshing itself, but also because is doesn't absorb sweat, oil, et cetera it feels even more comforting and cooling.
Vegan and cruelty-free
Although satin, made from polyester, is not biodegradable it's a great material for recycling. Polyester satin is a strong material that lasts very long. Recycling polyester satin is a way to keep plastics from going to landfill and the ocean. Recycled polyester satin is just as good as virgin polyester and it takes less resources to make products with it. Satin is not made from animal protein compared to silk. It's also not very water intensive to cultivate and process compered to cotton.
