Pure silk pillowcase is deep care for your skin and hair
This pure silk pillowcase is unique in the world: pure silk contains sericin and fibroin, the two main proteins in silk.
In France, a technique unique in the world makes it possible to obtain pure silk, in non-woven form *. It is a patent from Sericyne, the only French company producing silk. The silk is naturally non-woven flat, then cut into a rectangle of pure silk, and used on one side of the Sericyne pure silk pillowcase.
* a non-woven is a material whose fabric appearance does not come from a weave but from a natural or composite characteristic. Here, the silk non-woven is entirely natural.
The benefits of pure silk made in Cévennes, France
Pure silk brings you all the virtues of silk proteins. These silk proteins are mainly fibroin and sericin. Pure silk non-woven fabric should not be confused with 100% silk silk fabric which results from silk spinning. This is the true meaning of pure silk: silk in its natural state, the silk cocoon produced flat.
Fibroin: the silk protein that boosts skin cells
Numerous scientific studies are underway and some results are fascinating: in contact with fibroin, fibroblasts (skin cells) will multiply their regenerative power. This is important because fibroblasts are the skin cells that allow skin cells to produce collagen and elastin necessary to maintain beautiful, youthful skin .
Fibroblasts are also at the heart of skin regeneration and healing.
Sericin: the silk protein of cell regeneration
Sericin is the other natural silk protein. This is the protein that is removed during digging to make the silk thread. In non-woven silk you find it in its natural state. Sericin is also widely studied for its regenerating and healing properties.
A scientific study on pure silk poultices showed exceptional effectiveness in treating burns. Thanks to the properties of silk proteins, healing is promoted and accelerated. To this end, the other properties of silk combine: hypoallergenic, it prevents any type of allergy. Antibacterial and anti-mite, silk will limit the phenomena of inflammation of wounds and skin.
Pure silk pillowcase is anti-aging and anti-acne treatment
Pure silk non-woven delivers all the properties of pure silk: regeneration, healing, reduction of all inflammatory processes. We recommend two different protocols:
- used once a week on the pure silk side to prevent signs of aging
- use twice a week on the pure silk side for acne-prone skin
Anti-aging routine: 1 night per week on the pure silk side
Nighttime is the ideal time for cell renewal. This is where the skin needs the best conditions to regenerate.
In a holistic skincare routine, the silk pillowcase will help maintain optimal hydration thanks to its hydrophobic properties. The pure silk non-woven will additionally provide the properties of silk in its natural state: sericin and fibroin will act together to boost the skin's fibroblasts . Fibroblasts are notably responsible for the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins essential for maintaining firm, youthful skin.
Routine for acne-prone skin: 2 times a week on the pure silk side
Acne-prone skin needs healing on the one hand, and a reduction in inflammatory processes on the other. Pure silk helps the skin heal better. As demonstrated in clinical studies on scarring, pure silk accelerates healing and improves the aesthetic appearance of scars .
Pure silk is antibacterial and anti-mite. By sleeping on pure silk, your skin is protected from the effects of inflammation caused by bacteria and dust mites.
We recommend that people with acne-prone skin sleep on a silk pillowcase, and reinforce this beauty routine by using pure silk two to three nights a week.
A two-sided silk pillowcase: pure silk, classic textile silk
