A third of your life is spent in bed. Let that sink in. Now, imagine if that time could be even more restorative, more luxurious, more beautiful. It’s time to rethink your bedding. And if you’re looking for the ultimate sleep and beauty booster, look no further than these silky saviours. Meet the beauty sleep upgrades you never knew you needed.
Bamboo Sheets
Nothing beats sinking into a cloud-like bed in a five-star hotel. That crisp, cool, impossibly soft sensation? Actual heaven. But what if you could recreate that experience every single night? Enter bamboo sheets – the secret to next-level sleep and seriously happy skin. Imagine draping yourself in pure bamboo silk, but with added breathability and a whole host of skin-loving benefits. And as NakedLab founder Joyce Lau discovered when searching for gentle bedding for her daughter’s sensitive skin, bamboo is a natural wonder, growing quickly with minimal water and zero nasty pesticides. So, not only are you treating yourself to the ultimate in comfort, but you’re also making a kinder choice for the planet. Win-win.
Beyond the luxurious feel, bamboo sheets work wonders for your beauty and wellness. Because they’re naturally temperature-regulating, they keep you cool and dry even on the warmest nights – a lifesaver when the AC isn’t cutting it. This contributes to better sleep quality, which, as we all know, is crucial for glowing skin and overall well-being. But the magic doesn’t stop there. Bamboo’s hypoallergenic and antibacterial properties create a cleaner sleep environment, keeping dust mites, mould, and bacteria at bay. This makes them a godsend for allergy sufferers and those with sensitive skin. Plus, bamboo fibres are incredibly smooth, minimising friction against skin and hair, which can lead to wrinkles, frizz, and breakage. So, while you’re catching those precious Zzz’s, your bamboo sheets are working overtime to keep you looking and feeling your best.
Silk Pillowcases
Gisele won’t board a plane without hers, Victoria Beckham sleeps on one every night, and the likes of Cindy Crawford, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Kim Kardashian swear by theirs for smoother hair and younger-looking skin. No, it’s not some new ‘miracle cure’ or expensive beauty cream – it’s a pillowcase. But not just any old cotton pillowcase: we’re talking silk – a.k.a. the Rolls-Royce of pillowcases that can transform tresses and skin while you sleep. How? By reducing friction, absorbing less product, and helping hair and skin retain moisture.
Cotton can dry out hair and cause it to drag and tug across your pillow, whereas silk ensures locks glide effortlessly and gently without damaging or drying. Unlike cotton, silk isn’t an absorbent material, so those expensive night creams and lotions won’t end up more in your pillow than on your face. In fact, according to the creators of Slip silk pillowcases, they’ll absorb 43% less than their cotton counterparts. This also means they let skin (and hair) retain natural moisture, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and help skin keep its youthful glow and suppleness, making them a key addition to your anti-ageing arsenal. Plus, silk is naturally hypoallergenic, making it particularly beneficial for those with sensitive skin or conditions such as eczema and rosacea.
