JAKARTA - Even if you have one of the best pillows, still your pillowcases can cause tangled hair and wrinkles on your face.

"The severity on this face can lead to the emergence of fine lines, which over time, with repeated pressure, can develop into more permanent facial lines," said Dr. Anna Chacon, a board-certified dermatologist in Miami, Florida.

"In addition, the absorption power of pillowcases can usually eliminate skin natural oil, which causes drought and irritation," Chacon continued, launching NBC, Tuesday, July 22.

Using silk pillowcases can help avoid this.

"Natural ingredients tend not to absorb moisture and natural oil from the skin [and hair], as well as help keep them hydrated and reduce potential irritation," Chacon said.

"In addition, fine silk surfaces can reduce friction between your skin and pillowcases, which can help prevent the formation of fine lines and wrinkles on the face," Chacon said.

To help you choose silk pillowcases, here are some guidance from experts about what factors to look for from silk pillowcases.

In conclusion, silk pillowcases have several benefits for the skin and hair. "Circumvents of silk pillows keep the skin cool while sleeping, so the face sweats less. Silk pillowcases are also better at maintaining skin moisture because they absorb less moisture than cotton pillowcases," said Dr. Brendan Camp, a board-certified dermatology MDCS dermatology dermatologist.

"Sutra is also hypoallergenic and for people with sensitive skin, or whose skin reacts to certain fabrics, silk feels soft on the skin," Camp said.

Silk can also help overcome fine lines. "Although it's too much to say that regular pillowcases directly cause wrinkles, silk pillowcases have the potential to contribute to their formation due to friction caused by rougher materials," Chacon said.

"This scene can cause fine lines while sleeping, which over time, with repeated pressure, can develop into more permanent facial lines," Chacon continued.

For hair, the ability of silk pillowcases can prevent friction so that hair becomes not easily tangled. Just like skin, silk will also not attract moisture from the strands of your hair.
