Silk pillowcase skin benefits
Kinder to your skin, every night.
Silk glides instead of tugging and absorbs less than cotton, so you wake up with fewer sleep creases and your night cream stays where you put it. Grade 6A mulberry silk, Oeko-Tex® Made in Green certified.
Why silk
What silk does for your skin
A silk pillowcase helps your skin in four ways: less friction, less absorbency, a clean certified surface, and less irritation for breakout-prone skin. It works alongside your skincare routine, not instead of it.
-
Sleep creases
Fewer creases in the morning.
Find your mommeSide and stomach sleepers know the lines a cotton pillowcase can leave. Silk's smooth surface lets your face glide as you move instead of pressing and pulling, so you wake up with fewer sleep creases.
-
Hydration
Your night cream stays on your skin.
Silk vs. cottonCotton is absorbent, so it soaks up your skin's natural oils and the serum or cream you put on before bed. Silk absorbs less, so more of it stays where you put it. A small change that dry skin will notice.
-
Sensitive skin
Clean, gentle and certified.
Our certificationsOur mulberry silk is Oeko-Tex® Made in Green certified, so it is tested for harmful substances. Natural White is undyed, and every pillowcase is silk on both sides, so only silk touches your skin.
-
Breakout-prone skin
Less irritation, less buildup.
Silk care guideSilk will not cure acne, but it can help. Less friction means less irritation, and it holds on to less oil and product than cotton. Wash it weekly in the included mesh bag to keep it fresh.

Silk and skin questions
Is a silk pillowcase good for your skin?
Do silk pillowcases prevent wrinkles?
Silk will not stop wrinkles on its own, but it reduces the sleep creases that come from pressing your face into cotton night after night. Side and stomach sleepers tend to notice the difference most.
Are silk pillowcases good for acne?
Silk is not an acne treatment, but it can help as part of your routine. It creates less friction and irritation than cotton and holds on to less oil and product. Wash your pillowcase weekly to keep it clean.
Does silk help dry skin?
Silk absorbs less moisture than cotton, so it does not pull as much of your skin's natural oil or your moisturizer into the fabric overnight. Many people with dry skin find that helpful.
Is silk good for sensitive skin?
Mulberry silk is smooth and gentle, and ours is Oeko-Tex® Made in Green certified, which means it is tested for harmful substances. For the purest option, choose Natural White, which is undyed.
Is silk or satin better for your skin?
Satin is a weave, usually made from polyester, so it feels smooth but does not breathe like silk. Silk is a natural fiber. Fishers Finery pillowcases are 100% Grade 6A mulberry silk on both sides.
Which momme is best for skin?
Every Fishers Finery pillowcase is 100% silk, so every weight gives you the same smooth surface. Higher momme is thicker and more durable. Our 25 momme has been Good Housekeeping's Best Overall silk pillowcase for 10 years running, and our 30 momme was named Best Overall by HGTV in 2026. Read our momme guide.
How often should I wash my silk pillowcase?
Once a week is a good rule, especially if you wear night creams or have breakout-prone skin. Machine wash on delicate with cold water in the included mesh bag, or hand wash, then air dry. See our silk care guide.
