While a plain cotton pillowcase might not seem like an exciting gift, a silk pillowcase is a must-have for any beauty enthusiast and beauty gurus swear by them for smooth skin and healthy hair. I've recently made the switch to silk pillowcases and I'm not going back. My hair is not as messy in the morning, and thanks to my hair being able to glide over the smooth pillowcase, it saves me time on my hair routine. I also love the feel of the slick silk on my skin as I sleep and the silk simply feels more luxurious. In our tests we found the popular Slip pillowcase and the affordable Alaska Bear one to be both soft and comfortable.
