Silk, what is it?
Silk is one of the most valued and unique fabrics of animal origin, and its fabrics are often called one of the most beautiful fibers. Natural silk is extracted from the pupae of silkworms. It is widely used in the creation of clothes and jewelry, but due to its positive effect on the skin, it is also widely used in household and everyday life. Linens, pillowcases, clothes and accessories are sewn from silk.
The benefit of silk is its anti-allergic and antibacterial properties, it does not attract dust mites, while cotton tends to absorb moisture and becomes an excellent breeding ground for bacteria. When sleeping on silk bedding, the skin wrinkles less and the hair remains smoother, because the smooth surface of the silk reduces friction against the pillowcase. The benefits of silk for the skin of the face - it does not pull it out, but just keeps the moisture in the skin. By using silk protective face masks, instead of the usual paper ones, it is possible to avoid the mask . Silk contains valuable amino acids that have a refreshing effect on hair and skin.
