Constantly pressing your face on a pillow can cause trauma to the skin and hair. For example, a cotton pillowcase can create friction and cause or worsen hair problems. It is for this reason that beauty specialists recommend choosing soft and supple material where your hair glides on the fabric. This way your hair is less likely to become static and you will prevent split ends, oily hair and reduce tangles. In this regard, a good pillowcase can also provide the enhancing effect of hair products.
Nowadays, there are many types of pillowcase materials, such as microfiber, cotton, linen, cashmere, tencel, bamboo, flannel, satin and silk. Many beauty specialists highly advise against a cotton pillowcase and recommend the silk pillowcase, satin pillowcase and bamboo pillowcase for skin and hair. Therefore, these 3 types are the focus of this blog.
Silk is made from the silkworm. In the process from the caterpillar to a butterfly, a cocoon is spun with very thin threads and glue. After the butterfly pupates, the glue is melted and the thread unwound. The threads are then wound into silk yarn. Our range includes silk pillowcases made from 100% mulberry silk, also known as mulberry silk.
Satin is not a material, but a weaving technique also called atlas weaving. This weaving technique creates a smooth, shiny fabric that looks very stylish and soft. The satin weave is used with fabrics such as silk, cotton and polyester.
Bamboo pillowcases are made from bamboo plants, with no animal suffering involved. This sustainable material is considered a grass and grows very fast. The fabric is cooling, breathable and naturally has antibacterial and antifungal properties.
The beautiful benefits do depend on which fabric the satin pillowcase is made from. For example, a cotton pillowcase is strongly discouraged, but in combination with a silk pillowcase, it is considered top product for hair.
Despite the fact that satin and bamboo are highly praised by beauty specialists, there is only one real #1, and that is silk. Why? Check out the wonderful benefits of a silk pillowcase here:

]]>Our skin is our body's first line of defense against the elements, and it's essential to keep it healthy and moisturized. Natural oils, produced by our skin, play a crucial role in this process. These oils act as a protective barrier against environmental stressors, help to keep the skin hydrated, and maintain a healthy pH balance. However, factors like harsh skincare products and environmental stressors can disrupt the delicate balance of these oils, leading to dryness, irritation, and even acne. In this blog post, we'll explore the importance of natural oils for healthy skin and how mulberry silk can help keep them balanced.
Firstly, natural oils provide a vital role in keeping the skin healthy. They act as a barrier, protecting our skin from harmful pollutants, UV rays, and other environmental stressors. They also help to retain moisture in the skin, keeping it soft, supple, and smooth. However, when the balance of these oils is disrupted, it can lead to various skin issues such as dryness, irritation, and even acne.
That's where mulberry silk comes in. Mulberry silk pillowcases and clothing are made from a high-quality silk that's incredibly soft and gentle on the skin. Unlike traditional pillowcases and clothing made from cotton or synthetic materials, silk doesn't absorb natural oils from the skin. Instead, it allows the skin to breathe, maintaining the balance of natural oils and reducing the risk of irritation and dryness.
Additionally, mulberry silk contains amino acids that are similar to those found in our skin. These amino acids can help to boost collagen production and enhance the skin's ability to retain moisture. The result is skin that's hydrated, supple, and less prone to fine lines and wrinkles.
In conclusion, natural oils play a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin. Disrupting their delicate balance can lead to various skin issues, from dryness to acne. Mulberry silk is an excellent choice for those looking to keep their skin's natural oils balanced. Its gentle, non-absorbent texture allows the skin to breathe, while the amino acids in the silk work to enhance the skin's natural moisture-retention abilities. With regular use of mulberry silk products, you can maintain healthy, radiant skin for years to come.
]]>Sleep is a critical part of our lives, and it is essential for our physical, mental, and emotional health. Sleep helps us to rejuvenate and repair our bodies, and it is necessary for our brains to function properly.
Read more about the physical benefits of sleep:
During sleep, our bodies release growth hormones that help repair damaged tissues, and our muscles get a chance to relax and restore their energy.
Sleep also plays a vital role in strengthening our immune system, which helps our body fight off infections, diseases, and illnesses.
Sleep helps regulate the hormones in our body, including those that control our appetite, metabolism, and stress response.
Studies have shown that getting enough sleep can reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
A fine and delicate product requires a little more attention during washing than the rest. To ensure the quality of your silk products, it is important to wash them properly. It is, of course, too valuable and fragile for anything less!
Here are all the tips and tricks to take care of your silk products as best as possible:
Essentials before we begin:
This can be done with a hand wash program on the washing machine at 30 degrees and without spinning, and make sure the pillowcase goes inside out in the laundry bag. Once clean, you can hang it up to dry. So the silk pillowcase CANNOT go in the dryer! Ironing can be done gently inside out on silk setting. If you don't have this, a hand steamer can also work very well.
Our silver ion technology provides antibacterial action, so we recommend washing the pillowcase every 12 days. That way, there is only minimal formation of bacteria.
We understand if you're thinking, only 30 degrees? Is that enough to get it clean? Don't worry, this is enough to clean your pillowcase properly. Due to the antibacterial action of the silver ions in the fabric, the pillowcase remains free of bacteria. If you wash at higher temperatures, there is a high chance that you will damage the quality of the silk and the effectiveness of the silver ions.
]]>Silk is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, making it an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin or allergies.
The smooth, soft texture of silk helps to reduce friction and tugging on your hair, which can lead to fewer tangles and less breakage. This is especially beneficial for those with curly, thick, or long hair.
Silk pillowcases are also great for preventing wrinkles and fine lines on your face, as the natural fibers of silk allow your skin to glide smoothly across the surface of the pillow, reducing the amount of pressure and tension on your skin.
Silk pillowcases are also great for maintaining healthy hair. Silk fibers are smoother than cotton, which means they won’t absorb as much moisture from your hair. This means your hair will stay hydrated and moisturized all night long, leading to less frizz and breakage.
Silk pillowcases are also great for temperature regulation. Silk fibers are naturally breathable, which means they help to keep you cool and comfortable throughout the night. This is especially beneficial for people who tend to overheat or sweat at night.
Silk pillowcases are a great investment for anyone looking to improve their sleep and hair, and skin health. Dore & Rose has recently launched a silk pillowcase infused with silver ions, which have been proven to eliminate 99.7% of all bacteria, giving you an added level of cleanliness and hygiene while you sleep.

Cotton fibers can cause friction and tugging on your skin, leading to wrinkles, fine lines and other signs of aging. This can damage your skin, leaving it dry and dull.
Cotton fibers are rough and can cause friction and tugging on your hair, leading to tangles, breakage and split ends. This can damage your hair, leaving it dry and dull.
Cotton is a natural material that absorbs moisture, oils, and bacteria from your skin and hair. This can lead to acne, infection, and other skin problems. It can also dry out your hair, leaving it brittle and prone to breakage.
Cotton is not hypoallergenic, which can be a problem for people with sensitive skin or allergies. Dust mites and other allergens can thrive in cotton fibers, leading to allergic reactions and asthma symptoms.
Sleeping on a cotton pillowcase can have negative effects on your hair, skin, and overall health. To avoid this, cotton pillowcases have to be washed frequently to maintain hygiene, which can be time-consuming and costly.
A better alternative would be to switch to a mulberry silk pillowcase. This Dore & Rose "Skin Recovering Silk Pillowcase" is an anti-bacterial silk pillowcase that eliminates 99.7% of all bacteria before they can reach your face. An excellent investment for anyone who cares about their health and beauty. Click the link below to shop yours today.

A quote that suits me is "one size fits none", this is because I believe there is not one solution that solves all people's problems. For many people, it is testing and finding out what suits you and ultimately finding the right solution for yourself.
I have suffered from eczema in my face and chest for many years, which is now luckily gone after adjusting my lifestyle. This is also one of the reasons that I use the Skin Recovering Silk Pillowcase. People often underestimate that the pillowcase you lie on has an impact on your skin. Your skin recovers while you sleep and if you sleep on a pillowcase packed with bacteria, which then reach your skin, might not be the best for the condition of your skin. This is the reason I use the Skin Recovering Silk Pillowcase from Dore & Rose.
I also use the sleeping mask, which I mainly use during summer, because I want my room to be as dark as possible in order to improve my sleep. The light that enters your bedroom has an impact on the quality of your sleep. Due to the light-blocking properties of the mask, it helps to optimize my sleep.
For people with skin conditions, it is certainly a good idea to start sleeping on silk, especially the unique fabric from Dore & Rose, as their products are treated with silver ions. This gives an extra antibacterial effect, killing 99.7% of all bacteria. If the skin barrier is often damaged and no longer works, sleeping on the Skin Recovering Silk Pillowcase can support and restore the skin.
The most important thing, in my opinion, is a lot of daylight. Hormones are controlled by daylight and walking barefoot has immense positive properties for your body. This is how you let your body connect with the earth. This is the strongest antioxidant that exists. Stress in the body causes free radicals, which release bad molecules that attack the good molecules. To decrease this process, we need antioxidants. The free radicals in the body caused by stress, create positively charged electrons. The earth is charged with negative ions, meaning it can bring the body back into balance. When looking at the foods you consume, I advise only eating foods that are by mother nature. Everything man-made, is a no-go for me.
]]>Aging of the skin just happens, but we sometimes want to give the skin a helping hand to prevent it and slow down the process. As we age, the skin loses its elasticity. The production of collagen slows down and this can cause wrinkles, the skin also becomes more dry and fragile. Making it extra important to take good care of your skin. Here are 5 tips to keep your skin young and healthy:
Collagen gives elasticity and firmness to the skin and improves your bones, hair, nails and joints. It is an important protein in the body that weakens as we age. Taking collagen, often in powder form, can balance these deficiencies. It also has a moisturizing effect and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Something we recommend to start using at the age of 25.
Sun exposure is one of the biggest culprits for the skin. This accelerates the aging of the skin, making it extra important to apply spf 30 or 50 every day. Even when the sun is not shining, UV rays are still harmful when it is cloudy.
Retinol, also known as retinoids or vitamin A, is one of the most well-known anti-aging ingredients. It has skin-repairing abilities and also promotes collagen production. Please note, to slowly introduce this product into your routine. Start with every other day and see how your skin reacts to it.
We’ve said it before, but “you are what you eat”. The best ingredients to consume for healthy and glowing skin have high anti-inflammatory properties and are high in antioxidants. This has a positive effect on the elasticity and aging process of the skin. Foods We Recommend:
Salmon
Avocado
Green Tea
Matcha
Blueberries

An essential addition to any skincare routine.

The body’s largest organ, your skin. It’s made out of several layers which each have important functions to protect you. Your skin barrier is made up of tough, strong skin cells named corneocytes. Formed together by the lipid layers: cholesterol, fatty acids and ceramides.
The skin barrier protects the body from harmful toxins penetrating the skin. It also protects you from dehydrating as the skin barrier is an essential part of making sure no water can evaporate or escape your body. Making it even more important to take good care of it.
External factors cause the most damage to your skin. The most common factor are:
A simple 5-step skincare routine is enough to maintain healthy skin. Be aware of the products you use and make sure they have a suitable PH of 4.0 to 5.0 which are best for your skin.

“I thought I would share my story because I really hope it can help someone like it helped me!
One day I suddenly woke up with a sever allergic reaction. Red burning eyes, patches on my skin and neck, and my whole face covered and swollen. Since that day, it would come and go, and I could not find out what it was. It was really affecting my way of life as my face and neck were covered in red, flaming patches.
I went to several doctors and specialists to find out what was going on. The dermatologist I went to, actually told me to start sleeping on silk. Her reasons were that it’s so much softer for your skin and contains fewer bacteria. She recommended Dore & Rose as they have their silver ion-treated pillowcases.
The dermatologists were doing several patch tests on me to try and find out where the allergic reaction was coming from, but nothing was really to be found. They said it’s possible that I developed a cotton allergy because as soon as I sleep on cotton, it comes back! To be honest, the first night that I slept on the Skin Recovering™ Silk Pillowcase I already saw a difference the next morning. After about 3 weeks, it was all gone.
Not only did I not experience any allergic reactions anymore, but my skin is glowing and I have such an even complexion. I felt so much more confident and I was going places without makeup. It honestly saved my skin and I take it with me anywhere I go!
A little tip, I use the sleep mask after I cry, it cools down the swollen watery eyes and reduces the burning feeling! Works every time!”
“I added some before pictures, and after once feeling happy in my skin again!”

It’s a formula that instantly hydrates and brightens. Perfect against aging and evens out redness blemishes. One of the best ingredients to achieve a glowing complexion.
Research shows that vitamin c penetrates deep into the skin. It allows your skin to keep its moisture due to its effect of decreasing water loss.
Ever heard of melanin? It’s the pigment that is responsible for the coloring of your skin. Vitamin c disrupts this production, helping discolorations, dark spots, and a dull complexion. Vitamin C evens out and brightens the skin.
Vitamin c contributes to rebuilding collagen production in the skin. This improves firmness, and elasticity and reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
Use a vitamin c serum every morning before applying your moisturizer. Always end your morning routine with SPF. Need an extra boost? Add the serum to your nighttime routine twice a week. When applying your skincare products, it’s important to let them sink into your skin. Sleeping on cotton can disturb this process, as it soaks up all the moisture from your skin. If you want the ultimate effect of your skincare routine, consider sleeping on a silk pillowcase.

Who better to pillowtalk with than cosmetic surgeon, Kirstel Woltman, who has dedicated her career to improve ones skin and helps to achieve the best version of yourself.
"Less is more, everyone is unique in their own way and I strive to empower natural beauty"
We had an interesting chat with Kristel, keep on reading to find out what her perspective is on skincare.
"There is so much you can achieve with the right adjustments when taking care of your skin before having to take further steps. It’s the balance that does it. The right ingredients in your products, the nutritions you consume, as well sleeping on a silk pillowcase. I highly recommend Dore & Rose to all my patients. For me it’s how it increases the productivity of your serums and moisturizers and the softness of the silk which decreases the chance of forming lines and folds in the skin."
"It’s the technology that makes Dore & Rose so unique. It’s not just an ordinary silk pillowcase anymore, it really contributes to improving the structure and health of the skin due to the high level of anti-bacterial particles. Don’t underestimate how big of a difference this can make if you suffer from acne.
I have seen many products and ingredients in my career as a cosmetic surgeon, but when working with expensive products like I do, it’s truly a waste when not being able to let them sink into the skin, or being intruded by bacteria."
"The main skincare brand I work with is SkinCeuticals. Their products are all based on scientific formulations, which makes it a good match with Dore & Rose. They intensify each other, as I said before, it’s about finding the balance and what works for you."

We believe in the power of trust. Because without trust, there is nothing to build. That’s why we are here to tell you nothing more than the truth.
We would like to introduce you to Louisa, a loving customer of Dore & Rose who wanted to share her journey with us and for us to share with all of you. Louisa has experienced severe acne her whole life and has been sleeping on our silver embodied silk pillowcases for 3 weeks now. Here’s what she has to say:
Say “hey love” to Louisa!
“So here’s my story, always a bit scary sharing this and the pictures as it is something I never felt super comfortable with.. but the past 3 weeks have been something I had to share.
After reading about the Dore & Rose Silver Emobodied Silk pillowcase, which kills 99.7% of bacteria, I instantly knew this is what I needed. I had to get used to the silk the first night, which isn’t weird after sleeping on cotton for 24 years, but after that, I enjoyed every minute of sleep on it. So soft, so subtle and already after a few nights I started seeing a difference.
The redness in my face started to go down due to the fine woven silk and there not being any friction to my skin. I also realised that my products sunk more into my skin instead of my cotton pillowcase which would absorb the products I put on before bed. I woke up with more of a glow because of that and my skin felt more hydrated. There was no odour on the pillowcase either, even after 3 weeks! Even my hair felt softer too btw!
After the first week, my acne started to clear up, this must be an effect of the silver ions which kill 99.7% of the bacteria. I have added some pictures for you to see the difference. For me, I will never switch to anything else than the Dore & Rose pillowcase and hope everyone has the same experience I had!”
]]>So, first things first, silver ions are what we like to call our secret ingredient. We know a secret ingredient is something you usually don’t share, but we are making an exception for you here.
A silver ion is a single particle of the silver element. It is a natural mineral which has antimicrobial functions, meaning it kills bacteria, mold and stops them from growing.
The silver ions pierce through the cells of these microorganisms, the bacteria and mold, and destruct their DNA which stops reproduction and kills them. This is why silver ions have a sterilization effect.
So, that being said, you probably now understand the efficiency of silver ions and why we use them. We penetrate these into our silk fibres and then into situ reduction, the nanosilver assembly in the fibre is realized. This is how we achieve the highest antiviral and antibacterial effects, killing 99.7% of bacteria and contributing to your healthier skin. No worries, this process has no negative effects on the environment or yourself. We have passed all SGS tests, and inspections and our products are Oeke-Tex certified.
Good to know is that the silver ions have the ultimate effect of killing 99.7% of bacteria for the first 18 months. After that, a slight reduction will take place. Lucky for you, we will be around for a long time to take care of skin. All you have to do is sleep on it!Dairy, gluten and refined sugars are the most common that can have an effect on your bloating and gassiness. You can try eliminating these groups one at a time to see what this does to your body. Give it a minimum of 3 days to experience a difference!
What many people might not know, is that soy can be pretty aggressive to your gut. If you try to avoid dairy and are replacing it with soy, and are still experiencing bloating/cramps, this could be the problem.
The most anti-inflammatory ingredient there is which can help with your gut discomfort and reduce your bloating. Try it in a tea, juice or in your salad!

If you take a closer look at your digestive and bladder issues, this can translate into forehead acne. Overconsumption of processed food and not hydrating enough will trigger your acne too, so try to watch the things you put into your body here! Not getting enough hours of sleep and a poor diet also expresses itself with forehead breakouts.
Struggling with digestion and circulation appear on the nose. This area is also where blackheads and clogged pores arise, don’t forget to double cleanse here! Always start with an oil cleanse to rinse off your make-up, followed by a gel or foam cleanse.
This is where the intestines start speaking. If down there is not working, this is where it shows up. Coffee and alcohol play a role here too.
If you have lung problems your acne can appear around this area. If the acne finds itself more on the side of your face, your cotton and dirty pillowcases can be the devil, just like the phone that’s always against your face.
Hormones and the way you eat is important here. Eating too much and not absorbing your nutrients properly. If you have an increase in estrogen, you might experience under-the-skin inflamed pimples. Try to leave out dairy, caffeine, sugar and gluten and see what happens.
This can be an effect of dirty pillowcases, which is why it’s so important to choose your fabrics wisely. If you suffer from high progesterone levels, this can show in your neck. Just like how the ovaries also have something to say here.
]]>You know how fidgety bedtime can get and how painful it feels to wake up soaked in sweat for anyone who sleeps sweltering. While silk is not an extremely porous material, it has natural moisture-absorbing properties, as silk fibers vaporize moisture quickly. In addition, silk fabric is made from slender and tightly tangled threads. And this ensues in the formation of zillions of air pockets, permitting sweat to transverse the silk and vaporize into the air to keep you sweat-free and relaxed all night.
Silk is the picture-perfect material for those with allergies or delicate skin, as it is hypoallergenic by nature and unaffected by dust mites.
