How a Silver Ion-Infused Pillowcase Helps Heal Acne

Silver Ion-Infused Technology

Silver ion-infused means something has been made using silver ions (atoms). When brands talk about silver ion-infused fabric, generally, it contains silver threads. Silver is incredibly malleable, so forming this compound into thin strands is easier than you'd think. These threads of silver are then woven alongside standard fabric threads, like cotton or silk, to create a piece of fabric, which is then made into a product.

One of the products you may have seen popping up is silver ion-infused pillowcases. Our pillowcases can become harbors for some pretty funky bacteria if we don't wash our bedding regularly. This can be incredibly problematic for anyone who suffers from acne or inflamed skin. So it makes complete sense to have an acne solution infused into the one product where we spend a third of our life.

Silver ion-infused technology sounds incredibly scientific. But let me break it down for you in simple terms.

Bacteria is a single-celled organism that contains chromosomes, cytoplasm, and a few other scientific elements that I won't get into in this article. These elements are all confined within the bacteria's cell wall. The way bacteria spreads is, it replicates its DNA within the cell, and then the entire bacterium splits in half and separates, literally doubling in size. If you're interested, Google "bacteria reproducing" and find plenty of videos on YouTube.

Silver is a naturally-occurring antibacterial compound. Silver is 99.97% effective in reducing the number of bacteria that can replicate. When this technology is infused into the fabric, it gives the product an effective layer of protection against bacteria.

The Best Silver Ion-Infused Pillowcase

When looking for a pillowcase infused with silver ions, you want the fabric to be the best fabric to facilitate silver ion technology.

Let's first look at a pillowcase without silver ion technology. Our research shows that the best fabric for bedding is 100% silk. Silk is:

• Naturally antibacterial and antimicrobial, great for skin conditions like acne.

• Hypoallergenic, perfect for those with allergies.

• Naturally temperature regulating, so it's great for hot sleepers.

• Won't absorb moisture or your skincare products like cotton does.

• A renewable resource and more sustainable than other fabrics, like cotton.

Many silk pillowcases are available on the market, but I invite you to read all about our amazing 22-momme silk pillowcases here. 22-momme silk is the highest grade silk on the market and stays soft no matter how many times you wash it.

We have designed our latest silk pillowcase with 22-momme silk and silver ion-infused technology. You'll get all of the benefits of silk and silver simultaneously. It's a passive acne treatment so you can heal your skin while you sleep.
