Silk – A Natural Solution for Sleep Problems, Stress, and Wrinkles

I’m Birgit Usin – the creator of the Birico brand. I value good sleep and skincare and have always made a conscious effort to maintain their quality. Despite this, I noticed at some point that every morning, the mirror reflected an increasingly tired and stressed face. My biggest concern was falling asleep – even when I was utterly exhausted, I would toss and turn for hours. And when I finally managed to fall asleep, the rest was neither deep nor restorative, as I frequently woke up during the night. My smartwatch confirmed this unfortunate reality and the cause of my fatigue.
I tried making various changes: taking evening walks, drinking sleep teas, and reducing screen time. While these brought some relief, they didn’t fully solve my sleep issues. Reaching too hastily for sleeping pills didn’t feel like a good idea, so I continued searching for a more natural remedy. Then I came across a study highlighting that our bedding could play a significant role in both sleep quality and skincare. This inspired me to try something new, and I found myself delving into the properties of silk. That’s how I crossed paths with this wonderful natural material, which ultimately led to the creation of Birico – a brand born with love.

Even my first night on a Birico silk pillowcase surprised me positively – the difference was remarkable. Normally, I would wake up with pillow creases on my cheeks and tangled hair, but this time my skin felt fresh and rested, and my hair was tangle-free. Even better, the pillow stayed pleasantly cool throughout the night. I noticed how my skin felt softer and more hydrated in the mornings since silk doesn’t absorb moisture from the skin like other materials do.
When it came to wrinkles, silk was truly a lifesaver. I read an article by renowned Chinese dermatologist Dr. M. Zhang, who, based on his research, revealed that silk pillowcases reduce skin friction by up to 43% compared to cotton. This helps prevent wrinkles and maintain skin elasticity. When the skin can breathe freely and retain its moisture, the risk of developing wrinkles decreases. This was exactly what I had experienced myself.

Today, I am delighted to see similar feedback from my customers. It feels heartwarming to read the words of one Birico customer, Kairi, who shared: “How did I only discover this secret now? Waking up in the morning feels completely different – no pillowcase creases on my face, and I just feel fresher overall.” Silk truly is a pampering luxury.

Another major factor that has always disrupted my sleep is light. Since switching to silk pillowcases had been such a positive experience, I decided to try a sleep mask made from the same material. At first, it felt quite different, but by morning, I realized that instead of tossing and turning for hours, I had fallen asleep quickly. The soothing softness of the mask and the complete darkness it provided were exactly what I needed. Silk has a gentle touch, and wearing a sleep mask soon becomes second nature.
Researchers Steven W. Lockley and Joshua J. Gooley, known for their work on sleep and circadian rhythms, have studied how light and melatonin influence sleep and human biological cycles. Their findings reassured me that using a sleep mask was the right choice. Additionally, studies have shown that because silk retains moisture in the skin, a silk sleep mask can help reduce morning eye dryness and puffiness (Lin & Lee, 2014).

Merike, one of our long-time customers, shared her experience: “I’ve been using the Birico silk sleep mask for over a year, and my sleep has become much deeper. On nights when I think I’ll try without it, I end up regretting it halfway through the night because my sleep is more restless without it. The adjustable Birico sleep mask is truly comfortable – I highly recommend giving it a try.”

One of the main reasons silk is so important to me is its stress-relieving effects. Studies show that quality sleep helps the body and mind recover, reducing stress hormone levels and supporting mental balance. Good sleep quality and sufficient rest are therefore essential not only for overall health but also for building mental resilience against stress.
Since stress significantly impacts both our body and mind, it also affects our skin – wrinkles become deeper, and the skin loses elasticity. Silk products help me relax before bedtime. The soft, cool touch of silk soothes me and helps melt away the tensions accumulated during the day.

I am delighted to receive positive feedback from Birico customers, who say that using silk bedding creates a luxurious and calming atmosphere that reduces stress and supports better sleep.

The Birico silk brand was created with the desire to offer products that support a healthy and natural lifestyle. Our silk is either 22 momme high-gloss silk or the rare 30 momme silk, used by less than 2% of producers worldwide. Silk is not only luxurious and durable but also eco-friendly – it is biodegradable and lasts for years, providing a longer lifespan compared to synthetic materials.

Choosing silk products is not just about comfort – it’s an investment in your well-being and health. The goal of Birico products is to offer every woman the opportunity to experience the best sleep and skincare that lasts for years. I have personally experienced how silk has improved my sleep quality and the appearance of my skin, and I hope every woman can enjoy this value.

If you’re looking for a solution to tackle sleep problems, stress, and wrinkles, silk might just be the answer. Silk is much more than just a fabric or product – it enhances your quality of life. Birico creates natural solutions to help you feel rested, calm, and beautiful.
