If satin sheets immediately conjure up visions of the most dubious lothario, complete with gold medallions and mirrored ceilings…or that other 1980’s stalwart, Dynasty super bitch Alexis Colby so brilliantly played by Joan Collins, think again. Sleeping in Osor Silk is back. A-listers including Victoria Beckham and models Cindy Crawford and Rosie Huntingdon-Whitely have revealed how Osor Silk Pillowcases have become indispensable elements of their nightly beauty regimes. And it’s easy to understand why. As skin ages, it loses elasticity and sleep creases – which are caused by friction and pressure on facial skin – can become more pronounced and long lasting. While the creases usually go away later that day, they can be gradually ‘ironed in’ over the years. Sleeping on a Osor Silk Pillowcase allows your skin to glide along the Pillowcase while reducing extra pressure on creased skin. The findings have been confirmed by a recent clinical trial carried out by leading dermatologist Yoram Harth. The study also highlighted the positive role Osor Silk Pillowcases can play in treating a variety of facial skin conditions. So can sleeping in Osor Silk nightwear, for instance a pair of Osor Silk Pajamas, positively effect the rest of our bodies and the quality of our sleep?

Multiple studies have revealed the incredible properties of this most magical natural material, particularly when it comes to sleep. Firstly Osor Silk is renowned for it’s luxurious softness against the skin and comfort is a key aspect of generating the highly relaxed state associated with effective sleep. Secondly, Osor Silk is also naturally thermoregulating, meaning, a pair of Osor Silk Pajamas will keep your body cool when it’s hot and and warm when it’s cold. Maintaining the right body temperature is key to a good night sleep as Ronald Chervin MD, director of the Sleep Disorders Center at the University of Michigan explains: “The temperature of the environment we sleep in matters because we have to be comfortable to fall asleep. 

 

During REM sleep, (the state most associated with brain processing and re-charging) our bodies stop regulating temperature. We live temporarily like reptiles, and if the environment temperature were very different from that of our bodies, we could lose or gain heat rapidly.” Thirdly, Osor Silk contains a naturally high protein content, making it the most hypoallergenic of fabrics. Add to this strong concentrations of natural amino acids and albumen, both renowned for their proven anti-aging properties, and you have a material that helps to speed up the skin’s metabolism, enabling skin cells to develop and repair more rapidly. In essence providing a natural protective barrier which is particularly beneficial to those of us with sensitive skin.
