Discover the Benefits of Silk

Silk has long been valued for its softness and beauty, but its benefits go far beyond how it feels. When used thoughtfully — particularly in everyday essentials like eye masks and pillowcases — silk can support better rest, skin health, and overall wellbeing.

A gentler sleep environment

Silk is naturally smooth and low-friction, meaning it glides across the skin rather than pulling or tugging. This can help reduce irritation and sleep creases, especially for sensitive skin. For eye masks, this softness is particularly important — offering comfort around the delicate eye area while encouraging deeper, more restful sleep.

Supports skin and hair health

Unlike cotton or synthetic fabrics, silk absorbs less moisture. This helps the skin retain its natural hydration overnight and reduces dryness. For hair, silk pillowcases can help minimise friction, breakage, and frizz, making them a supportive choice for healthier hair over time.

Naturally breathable and temperature-regulating

Silk adapts to your body temperature, helping you stay cool in warmer conditions and comfortably warm when it’s cooler. This makes silk eye masks and pillowcases suitable for year-round use, supporting uninterrupted sleep and comfort throughout the night.

A calming ritual, not just a material

Introducing silk into your sleep routine is as much about ritual as it is function. The simple act of placing a silk eye mask or resting on a silk pillowcase can signal to the body that it’s time to slow down — helping create a consistent, calming bedtime rhythm.

Thoughtful luxury that lasts

Silk is durable when cared for properly and becomes part of a long-term approach to wellbeing rather than a fleeting indulgence. Choosing quality silk pieces means investing in comfort, care, and rest — night after night.

At Altasphere, we see silk as more than a beautiful fabric. It’s a considered choice for those looking to support sleep, skin, and wellbeing in a way that feels natural, gentle, and intentional.
