I only have silk pillowcases

Evidently, there's a cotton sateen that's as smooth as silk, but I wouldn't know.... just what I read.

yes but because it's not silk, it doesn't have the same properties.. so it doesn't keep hair from being knotted etc...

100% cotton but I sleep on my back.

Cotton pillowcases and drool.

I have old feathered pillows handed down and cotton, silk and satin covers. I consistently use the old cotton Kmart pillow cases. They are cool, airy and comfortable. I look and feel great.

I have no idea if Panda bears have wrinkled faces, but even if they do, they probably don't care.

I have Percale pillowcases, but I've been meaning to get silk ones. Maybe I'll treat myself this Christmas.

I have a pair of turquoise satin pillow cases but use only one at a time on my Derilo pillow. The ones for show are navy blue cotton.

Don't blame your wrinkles on the pillow.

From the article:

Australian-based cosmetic nurse Laura Lynch said in an interview that cotton pillowcases can worsen wrinkle formation because it does not allow the skin to slide, so it catches the skin and puts it into a position that does not allow it to bounce back to its natural form.

Yea, not buyin' that, we have cotton pillowcases and don't have any of that problem.

cotton in summer. flannellette in winter

Silk - only because its better for my hair - less frizz and keeps it from tangling.

Cotton pillowcases over here. I don't buy that about wrinkles either.

I didn't do a lot of heavy research, but I saw mixed answers from dermatologists on any benefit to the skin from silk pillowcases. One in particular said no -> a dermatologist on skin care

Staying hydrated, getting enough sleep, thorough but gentle cleaning of the skin, followed by a
non- comedogenic moisturizer such as CeraVe seem to be far bigger issues to dermatologists.

I’ve experimented with both satin and silk pillowcases. i definitely prefer real mulberry silk even though it is more expensive.. I would not say it does anything for wrinkles but it really helps my hair. The satin pillowcase results were no different from any other pillowcase material.

To save money I bought a pillowcase with silk on one side and cotton on the other. The cotton keeps the case from slipping around on the bed. Anyway you can’t sleep on both sides at the same time so might as well have the expensive silk only on one side.

I really prefer cotton.

Remember the satin sheets of the 1960's? My grandma bought a set of satin sheets and pillow cases and I couldn't keep the pillow or the top sheet on the bed. Roll over and they'd slither off. Wrap them around me and I'D slither off.

I sleep on my back and don't use a pillow.

I guess the back of my head is all wrinkled?
I still have a full head of hair so any wrinkled scalp would be hidden

Most people's pillow...when you take the pillow case off...looks like a Civil War Bandage.

I've known about this since 50 years ago, nothing new here. My mom told me. We always had silk pillow cases when I was young. Now that I'm older, I don't care anymore so usually buy cotton.

 

[KSav]

I haven't heard anything about silk pillowcases helping with wrinkles, but I've read several stories of them being much kinder on the hair.

I never could relax sleeping on satin, felt like I was going to slide off onto the floor.
