The Anti-Ageing Power of Sleep, and Silk

The Anti-Ageing Power of Sleep, and Silk

When it comes to youthful skin, most of us think of serums, treatments, or facials. But one of the simplest and most effective anti-ageing tools is something you already use every night - your pillowcase.

Why Silk Is Better for Your Skin

Cotton pillowcases absorb your skincare and create friction against the skin, which over time can lead to fine lines, dryness, and irritation. Silk, on the other hand, is naturally smooth and non-absorbent. It lets your skin glide freely as you sleep, reducing tugging and helping your skincare stay where it belongs - on your face, not your pillow.

Sleeping on silk can help:

  • Prevent creasing and fine lines caused by friction
  • Keep your skin hydrated overnight
  • Support smoother, softer skin with fewer sleep marks
  • Reduce irritation and redness, especially for sensitive skin

Sleep: The Best Anti-Ageing Treatment

Your skin does most of its repair work while you sleep. During deep rest, your body increases collagen production, balances hydration, and repairs daily damage from UV and pollution. Poor sleep has been shown to accelerate visible ageing, from dullness to wrinkles.

Pairing quality sleep with a pure silk pillowcase enhances these natural repair processes, helping you wake up looking fresher and more radiant.

The Still Suain Difference

At Still Suain, we use 100% organic mulberry silk, ethically sourced from Suzhou, the historic centre of silk craftsmanship since the Tang Dynasty. Our silk is GOTS certified, hypoallergenic, and temperature-regulating - keeping you cool and comfortable all night long.

We created our collection to bring a sense of calm luxury to everyday life. Because true beauty isn’t found in quick fixes, it’s found in rest, ritual, and better materials.

Rest, Renew, Repeat

If you want to care for your skin in the most natural way possible, start with what touches it most - our pillowcase.
