Silk’s amazing thermoregulating abilities are due to the hollow structure of its fibers.
When you’re sweaty, it wicks away moisture, and when you’re cold, it acts as insulation, helping retain your body heat.
SUMMER OF SILK
Summer’s around the corner and we’re in for some record-breaking heat waves.
But you can still surf through the season in luxury and style.
Ditch your warm flannels and furs and start wearing sets that care for your skin and hair while wicking away extra heat and moisture.
That’s right - it’s silk season!
EFFORTLESS HAIR AND SKIN CARE
But that’s far from the last of silk’s amazing properties.
You see, there’s a special protein that can only be found in natural silk, and it’s called sericin.
It’s often extracted from raw silk and used as an additive in hair and skin care products.
It’s excellent at retaining moisture and forms a protective barrier over your skin, making it also naturally antimicrobial and antifungal.

Silk sheets and silk pillowcases are gentler on the skin of people with acne or sensitive skin that rough cotton ones…
This is because the friction from cotton on sensitive skin can create more inflammation, making acne, eczema, or other skin conditions worse.
Amazingly, recent research into the biomedical applications of silk have shown that it also has antioxidant and collagen-boosting properties.
All these factors make skincare as easy as slipping on your favorite pair of silk pajamas.
