For many people, increasing hours of sleep, face masks, serums, and aromatherapy means enhancing beauty sleep… BUT LET US NOT STOP THERE, MY FRIENDS. Have you ever considered that your pillow case can also play a significant role in you rolling out of bed and singing the Beyonce lyrics of “I WOKE UP LIKE THIS!”. No? Well fear not. I’m about to shed some light on another beauty product that will help you glow when arising from your deep slumber. Let’s talk about SILK. Yes, that’s right, silk pillow cases. There are many benefits when it comes to using silk pillow cases, so I will highlight a few winning factors in my eyes, such as: 1. Silk is more gentle on your skin and hair than cotton is. This means your skin will glide more easily along the surface of the pillow case as you toss and turn during the night, preventing wrinkles from forming in your skin. HOW NICE. 2. Silk, being the softer material, will also prevent hair damage and breakage. Whereas cotton absorbs moisture out of your hair allowing for hair breakage and damage. 3. Silk is a hypoallergenic material. It is naturally dust mite resistant, which makes it and excellent selection for people with allergies. 4. Silk does not harbor bacteria like cotton does, which prevents acne breakouts.

As with all products, it’s always important to consider the cons… however, the only cons I came across when searching for silk products was the possibility of faux silk. Many websites will advertise that they are selling genuine silk, BUT as I dove elbows deep into the review sections of many websites, I found this to be false. So, I basically did the work for ya and found this WONDERFUL brand called LilySilk. Not only do they produce fine silk pillow cases but they also fabricate fine silk clothes, bed sheets, sleeping caps, and one of my all time favorites… SILK SLEEPING MASKS. As a night nurse, this sleeping mask has saved my light sleeping self hours and hours of beauty sleep time. I highly recommend. It’s very gentle on the eyes and blocks out ALL of the light. The head strap is also very comfortable around the head and sits nicely above the ears. If you do decide to purchase a LilySilk product, my only recommendations are that you 1. Purchase their special silk detergent (it just takes the stress out of you trying to figure how to wash silk properly) and 2. Consider the “Momme” count. Momme is the equivalent to a thread count in cotton. The higher the Momme, the better the silk quality. However, please note that the higher the quality of the silk, the tougher the silk material will feel… Yeah.. I didn’t quite understand it either at first, but just go with the 19 Momme and I promise you’ll be happy. I absolutely love my LilySilk pillow case and night mask and I can genuinely tell the difference in the moisture and softness of my skin, as well as my hair being more tamed and less damaged.

Let me start off by saying that aging is a beautiful and natural part of life! You should be proud of your age, acne scars, wrinkles, gray hairs, etc… The list goes on. That’s just part of living and shows that you are truly living your life! However, it’s not wrong to want to prevent certain signs of aging if it means helping you feel confident and happy in your own skin. Now, if you’re still playing on the monkey bars in the school-yard, I’d think it’s safe to say that you’re okay holding off a couple years, but again, do whatever makes you happy and comfortable. We’re not discussing cosmetic procedures here and it’s not just about “looking better”. It’s about feeling better. I’m talking about natural, topical solutions to help keep your skin healthy.

The next two products I’m going to introduce to you changed my life for the better and I want to share this amazing product with you. Now, if you’re like me and still have middle school Proactiv acne product “PTSD”, having to use a million products, I feel your pain: “Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That!”. So let me make your life REAL simple. For a daily moisturizer, I highly suggest using Neora Age IQ Day Cream. It works great with all different skin types (dry, oily, and combination). I absolutely love it! It massages well into the skin, is unscented, doesn’t make you breakout and doesn’t leave a greasy or oily residue. It also makes a great primer for under makeup. Not to mention, it’s anti-aging, so that’s a plus for sure.

The second product that LITERALLY changed my life is the Neora Age IQ Night Cream. People… this stuff is like magic. It’s just ONE STEP. I put it on every night before bed. All you have to do is wash your face and apply it to your face and neck while it’s damp. BAM! One and done. It is an overnight face mask that is unscented and is barely noticeable on the face. The best way I can describe this night cream is that it’s like an all natural Botox. Say goodbye to uneven skin tone, acne scars, redness, wrinkles, etc. If you don’t believe me, I urge you to do your own research and check out their ‘Before’ and ‘After’ pictures on their website. My family and I have been using Neora products for over four years now and we’ll never switch to anything else. I have tried so many “anti-aging” products in the past, but Neora truly delivers real results. It may be a bit pricey, but Neora is 100% worth it. Check it out: https://bbushman.neora.com/us/en/
