The 7-Day Silk Challenge: How Nèbèlys Transformed My Skin, Hair (Spoiler: No Filters Needed!)
by Alexa Rodriguez, Beauty Editor & Skeptic Turned Silk Believer on Feb 10, 2025
I’ll admit it: I rolled my eyes at silk pillowcases.“How much difference can fabric really make?” I thought. But after hearing dermatologists rave about silk’s anti-aging and hair-saving superpowers, I decided to put Nèbèlys’ 7-Day Silk Challenge to the test. No filters, no fancy routines—just me, their Mulberry Silk Bundle (pillowcase + sleep mask + scrunchie), and a camera to document the chaos. Here’s what happened.
The Rules of My Silk Experiment
- Swap Everything: Use only Nèbèlys’ silk pillowcase, sleep mask, and scrunchie for 7 days.
- No Extra Products: Keep my usual skincare/haircare (no new serums or masks).
- Zero Effort: No special washing—toss silk in the machine with my laundry.
Day 1: “Is This Even Working?”
- Skin: Woke up with my usual pillow creases. “Ugh, same old face.”
- Hair: Frizzier than a Pomeranian in a rainstorm.
- Verdict: Silk felt nice, but I wasn’t impressed… yet.
Day 3: “Wait, Is That… Glow?”
- Skin: Creases faded faster! My morning moisturizer seemed to actually absorb instead of rubbing off.
- Hair: Less tangles! The scrunchie didn’t leave a dent, even after a sweaty yoga class.
- Aha Moment: “Okay, maybe silk isn’t just hype.”
Day 5: “Who Needs Botox?”
- Skin: Fine lines around my eyes looked softer. My partner asked if I’d gotten more sleep (I hadn’t).
- Hair: Air-dried waves stayed smooth, not frizzy. “Is this my hair or a Pantene ad?”
- Sleep Mask Win: Blocked out my neighbor’s porch light—no more 3 AM rage.
Day 7: “I’m Never Going Back to Cotton”
- Skin: Hydrated AF. My foundation glided on like I’d used a primer.
- Hair: Zero split ends when I straightened it (usually a frizz fest).
- Biggest Shock: My skincare products lasted longer—silk wasn’t hogging the moisture!
The Science Behind My Results
I called Dr. Emily Torres, a dermatologist who partnered with Nèbèlys, to explain:
- Friction-Free Sleep: “Silk’s smooth surface prevents collagen breakdown and hair cuticle damage.”
- pH Balance: “Mulberry silk resists bacteria, reducing acne and scalp irritation.”
- Temperature Control: “No night sweats = happier skin and hair.”
