Anyone tried those 'Silkskin' pillow cases?

Is it just a load of marketing nonsense or is there any truth in it? The silk pillowcase is meant to stop your skin drying out as silk doesn't absorb moisture like cotton. My skin is very dry these days, especially in the mornings so was thinking of trying one of these out. Has anyone else tried one? TIA

don't know about doing wonders for your skin,but when I got married (20yrs ago) I was given a silk pillowcase because it was supposed
to stop your hair messing up whilst you slept.

I still use it,albeit a new one and I do notice a difference when I use a normal cotton pillow case

Hi ggirls, yes they do also say it stops your hair from getting messed up (also handy as I am SUCH a state in the mornings). What sort of difference do you notice when you use a normal cotton pillow case? Is your skin drier?

Hi there
I bought a gorgeous silk pillowcase online at a site called silkgifts, it is made from charmeuse silk, apparently this is the silk that skin and hair specialists recommend to use. I have had it about a year and it really works for me, I don't wake up with lines on my face as I did before using it.
Highly recommended, good price too.
