The get-gorgeous secret every woman should know

We all know about the beautifying benefits of sleep, but here’s a detail that will make all the difference: a satin pillowcase.

Not only does this luxurious, very A-list touch turn each bedtime into a treat, but it has amazing benefits for your skin and hair too, from anti-aging to moisturising. That makes an investment of around R200 so worth it.

Here’s why a satin pillowcase is a DO in our books!

1 A smoother complexion

Ever woken with crease lines on your face? This is because a cotton pillowcase moves when you do, causing creases. The slippery texture of satin means no more imprints in the morning.

2 Shinier hair & softer skin

Cotton absorbs moisture from your hair, resulting in dullness and frizz. Sleeping on a cotton pillowcase also robs your skin of moisture and absorbs natural oils, leaving dryness and dehydration. Non-absorbent satin avoids these problems.

3 Less hair breakage & style that lasts longer

Friction from a cotton pillowcase can damage your precious locks. Plus, you want your new blowout to look good for ages – satin means less tangling and longer-lasting curls.

4 Health amplifier

If you suffer from asthma or hayfever, satin is especially good for you as it’s hypoallergenic, meaning fewer dust mites and easier breathing.

So where can you get this miracle beauty fix? Head to Every Second Counts’ site and score one for between R170 and R220. Now that’s what we call #winning!
