Why Silk?
Silk Face Masks Provide the Face Covering You Need with Extra Comfort and Environmental Sustainability
Nothing can compare to Silk when it comes to a face mask to bring with you on your journey to the shop or aboard. Keep your skin and the environment happy by choosing a silk face mask for your adventures.
Silk is the Environmentally Conscientious Choice
While Paper Mask quickly become litter on the streets or part of a rubbish pile, Silk is made from 100% natural and sustainable materials. In fact, Silk is produced naturally by silk worms as a natural byproduct of their life making it a harm-free fabric for the environment.
Other synthetic masks require incredible amounts of chemicals and manufacturing to create. Cotton is hard on the land & polyester is synthetically made from chemicals which end up back in our soil and water. Not to mention, it can take hundreds if not thousands of years for these products to biodegrade once in the rubbish heap.
Silk requires no soil, just Silk Worms and their favorite food: Mulberry Leaves. Silk is also readily biodegradable and can do on to produce useful mulch or compost to feed the next generation of plants.
When it comes to a eco-friendly fabric that also takes care of your skin, nothing comes close.
Silk is Good For Your Skin
Your skin lives in a constant battle and requires ongoing care. Between pollutants and chemicals in the air, dry wind stealing moisture and the effects of aging, your skin is taking it from all sides.
Numerous studies have shown that silk can help you in the fight against wrinkles. Friction cause by rubbing your face against other fabrics (ahem, cotton pillows) can cause creases in the skin. This means more opportunity for wrinkles to form on your face. But the ultra-smooth surface of silk reduces wrinkle-creating friction meaning less wrinkles in the long run.
Silk also doesn't absorb precious moisture from your skin. We all spend a lot of time moisturizing our skin, and synthetic materials & cotton steal that moisture when touching our face and body. This makes silk the perfect choice for anyone who experiences dry or sensitive skin. Why would you let your moisturizing routine go to waste by choosing something other than silk for your mask?
As an added bonus, Silk allows your body to easily regulate temperature. Ever worn a face mask outside only for your face to become all sweaty & hot? That's because cotton, paper & synthetic masks can't let your body regulate the temperature on your face. Silk fibres are inherently temperature-regulating allowing hot air to radiate away & whisking away excess moisture to keep you dry and cool all day long.
Silk is Naturally Hypoallergenic
Silk's hypoallergenic properties means it can naturally resist dust mites, fungi, molds and many other allergens. Anyone who is sensitive to pollens or other agitators can rest assured their silk face mask is helping them in the fight against allergies.
Silk is Made Chemical-Free
Silk is produced from domesticated silk worms that are bred and raised in captivity. They have no predators to defend against and are pampered throughout their lives, helping to produce a fine silk fibre with little chemical exposure. Other common fabrics we use daily are produced from chemically intensive crops that require pesticides, herbicides and other chemical treatments before making it to your home. Synthetic fabrics are even worse, requiring intensive manufacturing using a wide range of laboratory-concocted chemicals to produce. Silk gives you all of the healthy eco-friendly benefits without the chemicals and pesticides.
Together we can make the right choice for our planet and our face by choosing a face mask made out of 100% natural silk. Your face and the planet will say thank you.
