Victoria Beckham Swears By This Silk Pillowcase, and Now I'm Obsessed Too
Whenever anyone mentions something that Victoria Beckham uses in her beauty routine, I'm all ears. In fact, I'd probably try anything to re-create the star's healthy glow, including all of the products from her very own beauty range. However, as it turns out, there's one product that VB uses that has already been a part of my daily routine for as long as I can remember, and you might even have one in your bedroom, too. I'm talking about the Slip silk pillowcase. When it comes to the very specific world of silk pillowcases, Slip is definitely up there with the best of the best, so it's no surprise that this is the brand that Victoria Beckham turns to for her well-earned beauty sleep. And as a beauty editor, I'm yet to come across a silk pillowcase I like more than this one, and I've tried my fair share of brands over the years.
You might be wondering how on earth a pillowcase could enhance your beauty routine. Well, that's where I come in. As an avid silk-pillowcase user, I'm here to tell you all about how this product can benefit both your hair and your skin, so keep on scrolling for everything you need to know. And let's face it—if it's good enough for VB, it's good enough for us all.
What Does the Slip Silk Pillowcase Do?
So, what makes these pillowcases different to your everyday bedding? The secret is all in the material. Sleeping on silk reduces friction, which means that as you toss and turn throughout the night, the silk pillowcase will help to preserve your hairstyle, reduce frizz, stop those pesky pillow creases from appearing on your face and also keep your skin hydrated. You see, not only do other materials like cotton cause friction, but they also absorb more of your precious skincare products than silk does, so this could be the reason that you're waking up with a dull complexion despite slathering on your lotions and potions the night before.
The best thing about the Slip silk pillowcases is that they're made from the brand's own specially-commissioned Slipsilk. This material is made using the highest quality long fibre mulberry silk, which not only enhances all of the beauty benefits, but also means that your pillowcase will last you much longer than others on the market.

Is the Slip Silk Pillowcase Worth It?
All of that information aside, it's no secret that a Slip silk pillowcase is more expensive than other options out there, not to mention a standard cotton pillowcase. So, is it actually worth it? Honestly, I really couldn't recommend this pillowcase more. The difference I've noticed in both my skin and hair since using one of these has honestly been incredible. I used to blowdry my hair at night and wake up with it all over the place, but now I wake up with smooth, silky strands that look and feel a whole lot healthier. My skin is also reaping the benefits; it has more radiance than ever thanks to the fact that my pillowcase isn't absorbing my evening serum and moisturiser.
Not only are the beauty benefits great, but the quality of the silk is so impressive, and after washing mine again and again, it still looks as good as new (just make sure you follow the washing instructions!). One thing I will say is that I opted for the classic white shade and this can discolour slightly over time, so if you tend to use products like fake tan, it might be best to go for one of the darker shades.
Pros: Feels incredible to sleep on, leaves you with silky-smooth hair and radiant skin and the high-quality silk will last you in the long run.
Cons: An investment for a pillowcase, can only be washed on certain settings and the white shade can discolour over time.
All in all, I can see why Victoria Beckham loves this as much as I do, and if you're looking for something to put on your Christmas list this year, then I'd definitely consider one of the pillowcases below…
