Beautyzzz Silk Pillowcase
I sleep alone.
From the time I was 6 years old, I’ve been such a nutty sleeper that my parents eventually acquiesced to my bizarre demands and bought me twin beds–just so I wouldn’t have to share any air molecules, skin contact or precious mattress space with my BFFs when it was my turn for a (way too frequent for my liking) slumber party.
As I’ve gotten older, the sleep issues have only intensified: I require 8.5 hours of slumber…an eye mask…the perfect temperature…as little clothing as possible…Mack’s Pillow Soft wax earplugs (this last part is absolutely non-negotiable). You can imagine, this makes bedding with me positively delightful!
[Concerned as I am with wrinkles, however, I don’t actually sleep with an eye mask anymore–they dig into skin, causing deep grooves on the side of my face. So now, I sleep with…um…a black sock draped over my eyes. It’s very sexy.]
The only part of my entire bedtime scenario that’s even remotely glamorous is my silk Beautyzzz pillowcase, which has–oh, ho!–actual beauty benefits! Apparently, amino acids in silk are similar to those in skin, so the pH of a silk pillowcase is perfect for your complexion, particularly for those with sensitive skin, eczema, or rosacea (like me!). According to the Beautyzzz website, the silk pillowcase also helps enhance the absorption of beauty products, promotes cell renewal, prevents hair breakage, and increases moisture retention.
I don’t know about any of that. What I do know is that when my friend K.–who is a not-quite-as-insane sleeper, but close enough–was in town from London a couple of weeks ago, she napped on my bed to burn off some jet lag, woke, and said, “I need to get one of these silk pillowcases immediately!”
We crazy sleepers, you know?
