Given their dual powers, the highest quality silk bedding is pricier than cotton or flannel sheets, so buying a full set of sheets before trying them out might not be the best idea.

Better absorption of skincare products—if your bedtime routine involves layering active serums and nurturing moisturizers onto your face, a silk pillowcase can help these products work their magic.
