Slathering on a moisturiser at night is basically an at-home spa for the skin. When our skin’s not frantically battling daytime aggressors it can finally focus on healing, soothing and restoring itself. Say good morning to the new you!
SILK PILLOWCASE, MONDAY SILKS
$90
Silk pillowcases are the new trend in the beauty world. Monday Silks pillowcases are packed with natural proteins and amino acids which help counter the effects of ageing. The silk doesn’t absorb natural oils and therefore helps retain the moisture in your skin. It also helps prevent skin creases and reduces frizzy bed hair and hair loss. Monday Silks pillowcases are made of the highest grade 6A long fibre, 22 momme mulberry silk, so you sleep like a princess! mondaysilks.com
