Pillow Case Recommendation For Hair & Skin

tsavorite · ‎03-09-2010

Hello I need some suggestions for a pillow case that actually helps with skin and hair issues. I have very frizzy hair and sensitive skin with rosacea and was wondering if something like a satin pillow case might help.

Or any other fabric suggestions....brand and so on.

Thanks a bunch for the help

My Derm recommended a silk pillowcase.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

@tsavorite This is what is recommended. Sold at Nordstrom. Variety of colors. $85 for Queen Silk pillowcase.

Also, try Smooth products by Aveda for your hair to get rid of the frizz.

kindness is strength

Purchased some satin ones from BB&B, also a silk from Aquis but only at 1/2 off.

Also would like to recommend getting a 360 mister (Sallys), spraying your hair daily with water and then a couple of drops of leave in conditioner. Deep condition once a week also. Stay away from all silicones and sulfates they really dry the hair and aggravated the skin.

Isomers Copper P products are very soothing.

... and try that celery juice trend

I don't know about anyone else but when I used a satin pillowcase it stuck to my face. I'm a side-sleeper and I drool...plus my skincare stuff made it stick even more. I just can't use a satin pillowcase. I tried. Now I'm using copper infused cotton pillowcases...they are a high thread count sateen weave....much better for me than satin.

Amazon sells a number of silk pillow cases. About $20. I have ordered some them last month. I have dried them on delicate although it said to line dry. No problems.

I would recommend silk over satin.

Satin can be made up of nylon, polyester, or silk, which means it comes in varying quality. Some synthetics are great, but a cheap synthetic can feel stiff and rough. A good satin is smooth, has beautiful drape, and feels luxurious. You can't know what you're getting until you see it and feel it, so ordering satin online can be tricky. The cheap ones are not good.

Silk should be made from silk, not polyester, but you should read the information to be sure. Mulberry silks are usually very good.

My hair is straight as a stick so no recommendations for that but my skin is sensitive, has redness & tends to breaks out...I use a cotton pillowcase & change it out every night. I tried the satin but that didn't work for me..it slept hot & my face stuck to it. Good Luck.
