Silk pillowcases have carved out a place in modern beauty routines - and across social media feeds. For every genuine believer, there's someone else who suspects it's all just an overpriced trend wrapped up in expensive fabric. That skepticism is pretty fair. The beauty industry has a long track record of attaching premium prices to products with very little evidence behind them. We're talking about individuals with curly hair, or hair that breaks, or dry skin that stays dull no matter how thorough their evening care is.
