When dark age spots & melasma started popping up out of nowhere on my face I started researching for a solution right away.

I've been using it ever since.

YANIBEST Silk Pillowcase for Hair and Skin
I always heard that sleeping on a silk pillow was a good idea, but I never gave it much thought.

So, I quickly hopped on Amazon to search for “silk pillowcase” and found this one. I now own many so I never miss a day as they truly make a difference!
