Get that refreshed “I woke up like this” look with these three innovative products. That’s right: see below for how to work in extra skin care and wellness benefits while you snooze. —Julia Parfenyuk and Mackenzie Shand
shhh silk pillowcases. Seen tucked under the flawless arms of Gisele Bundchen on a few airport sightings, Shhh Silk Pillow Cases are made from pure mulberry silk. Naturally hypoallergenic, the fabric absorbs sweat, stops odour and hydrates your skin. Plus, at $149 for a set of two, these pillowcases promise to leave your complexion crease- and your hair frizz-free. Does it also promise perfectly tousled tresses like Gisele’s?
the water pillow by mediflow. Featuring an innovative water-tech core (it’s insulated, don’t stress) with Dacron Hollofil fibre in a cotton shell, this Mediflow pillow provides responsive support as you move your head during the night. It was also clinically proven to improve the quality of sleep and reduce neck pain, according to a study by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. For $50, try out this pillow if you’re tossing and turning at night.
saje tranquility relaxing diffuser blend. A favourite natural shop of ours, Saje has created this blend especially for quieting the mind and body at bedtime. Add a few drops of this calming essential oil blend (with delicate Roman chamomile, soothing lavender and marjoram, and warm ylang ylang) to your diffuser or DIY pillow and linen spray!
skin laundry pillowcase. Since pillowcases typically absorb dirt, oil and dead skin, a standard cotton pillowcase ($34 at Sephora) doesn’t always provide the best canvas for your night of beauty rest. Skin Laundry’s solution is equipped with silver ion technology to help reduce blemish-causing bacteria by up to 99.9 per cent. Dermatologists typically recommend pillowcases be washed at least every two days, but thanks to the ion technology you can wait seven to 10 between washes!
