Why Beauty Sleep Starts with Silk

Sleep is your body’s #1 chance to work its magic—repairing cells, restoring balance, and hitting refresh.✨

LS Silk pillowcases help optimise that overnight repair by supporting skin regeneration and locking in hydration, so you can wake up glowing.

5 Skin Benefits of Sleeping on Silk

1. Anti Sleep Creases
Silk creates less friction than cotton, so your skin glides smoothly over the pillowcase—helping to prevent those pesky morning creases.

2. Gentle on Sensitive Skin
Silk is hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, mould, and bacteria. It’s a great option for sensitive skin, acne, or eczema-prone complexions.

3. Keeps Skin Hydrated
Silk won’t strip your skin of moisture or absorb your night creams—helping your skin stay hydrated and letting your products do their job.

4. Supports Skin Repair
Overnight is when your skin works hardest to repair itself. Sleeping on silk helps support that process by reducing irritation and keeping your skin barrier protected.

5. Cleaner, Healthier Sleep Surface
Silk’s tightly woven fibres hold less dirt, oil, and bacteria than cotton, helping to reduce clogged pores and potential breakouts.

Wake Up to Better Hair

Your hair does most of its healing overnight. LS Silk pillowcases help minimise friction and retain natural oils, so you wake up with smoother, healthier-looking hair.

5 Hair Benefits of Sleeping on Silk

1. Reduces Bed Hair & Split Ends
Tired of waking up with a tangle? Silk’s smooth surface lets your hair glide while you sleep, reducing friction that causes knots, breakage, and split ends.

2. Helps Prevent Hair Loss
Less tugging = less damage. Silk helps protect delicate strands from pulling and tension that can contribute to hair thinning or hair fall.

3. Preserves Hairstyles Overnight
Say goodbye to flat spots and frizz. Silk helps maintain your style longer by keeping your hair in place without creasing or crushing it.

4. Keeps Hair Hydrated
Unlike cotton, silk won’t absorb your hair’s natural oils. That means strands stay nourished, smooth, and shiny overnight.

5. Perfect for Curly & Fragile Hair
Curly, fine, or chemically treated hair? Silk’s gentle texture helps reduce frizz and breakage—making it a must for fragile hair types.

Lovely product, nicely packaged and quick delivery. I now have a perfect nights sleep as the mask shuts out all the light. Super comfy too.

Silk Sleep Eye Mask - Olive

I love how soft it is. So much so that I then bought some mulberry silk pillowcases too.

Silk Sleep Eye Mask - Olive

So happy with this bonnet- it is my 3rd one from lovesilk. I also have the turban style which is probably the cutest looking when worn, but now doesn’t fit all my hair, the elasticated buckle adjustable one which I also really like but it probably slips around a bit more than this one. This I ends the perfect balance of cute and practical! I have a pretty small head and a lot of hair and there is plenty of room for my hair but it still stays in place well ❤️❤️❤️

Large Double-Lined Adjustable Silk Hair Bonnet Turban - Viridian

Soooo comfortable! I bought my first silk eye mask from Love silk over a year ago and used it every single night, travelled overseas with me and can't stand to not have it. After all the use and washing (admittedly I was a bit blasé with washing in the machine!) it became a bit tattered and started falling apart so this is my second purchase and I am looking after it much better. So silly smooth, just love them - I actually bought two this time round! Thanks so much!

Your Silk Questions, Answered | LS Silk New Zealand

Q: What does 22 momme mulberry silk mean for a pillowcase?

A: Momme (pronounced “mo-mee”) is the measure of silk’s weight and quality. A 22-momme silk pillowcase represents a premium grade — thicker, more durable, and luxuriously smooth to the touch. While many standard silk pillowcases are 19 momme, ours are made with 22 momme mulberry silk, using a tighter weave and more silk per square inch for long-lasting strength and a richer finish.

Mulberry silk refers to silk from silkworms fed exclusively on mulberry leaves — the highest-quality silk fibre available. It’s smoother, softer, and more resilient than other types. In short, 22 momme mulberry silk means your LS Silk pillowcase is exceptionally dense, ultra-smooth, and made to last.

Q: How do I wash and care for my silk pillowcase?

A: Gentle care will help preserve the beauty and feel of your silk. We recommend handwashing in cool water using a pH-neutral, silk-safe detergent. If you prefer machine washing, place your pillowcase in a mesh laundry bag and select the delicate cycle with cold water. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals — they can damage the silk fibres and dull its natural sheen.

To dry, never wring your silk. Instead, lay it flat on a towel or hang it in the shade. Iron on a low-heat setting while slightly damp or use a steamer for best results. With proper care, your LS Silk pillowcase will remain soft, glossy, and elegant for years.

Q: What’s the difference between a satin pillowcase and a silk pillowcase?

A: Great question — it’s one of the most common confusions. Silk is a natural fibre produced by silkworms; all LS Silk pillowcases are made from 100% pure mulberry silk. Satin, however, refers to a weave — and most satin pillowcases are made from synthetic materials like polyester.

While both may feel smooth at first, the difference is in the details. Polyester satin isn’t breathable, often traps heat, and lacks the natural softness of real silk. In contrast, mulberry silk is a breathable, temperature-regulating fibre that’s gentle on both skin and hair. It helps retain moisture, reduces friction, and is naturally hypoallergenic.

In short: silk is the real deal — natural, luxurious, and kind to you. Satin is the imitation. Always look for “100% mulberry silk” to ensure you’re getting genuine quality.
