Before, During, and After Summer: Silk for Skin and Hair
Returning from a summer vacation brings with it some skin and hair health concerns that can be quickly alleviated and resolved with the daily use of silk products for skin and hair , ideal for skin care, damaged hair care , and scalp protection. The T.SILK COLLECTION Beauty and T.SILK COLLECTION Beauty Plus Kits address this need for wellness after vacation, offering the perfect post-summer treatment for skin and hair.
The damage of summer on skin and hair
Relaxing days by the pool or by the sea, walks in the mountains or by the lake, are precious moments to regenerate.
However, our skin and hair are subjected to intense environmental stress: exposure to the sun and UV rays, salt, wind, and humidity changes . The individual or combined action of these elements determines mechanisms and causes widely documented damage:
- Skin aging
- Dehydration
- Blemishes and wrinkles
- Degradation of the skin structure
- Tumor formations
- Loss of elasticity and shine
Sun and UV rays
Ultraviolet rays UV-A and UV-B are the main responsible for important genotoxic alterations :
- Tumor-promoting changes: UV-B rays can create changes in DNA, promoting the creation of thymine dimers. If not detected by the DNA repair system, they interfere with cell replication, resulting in mutations that can promote the development of skin cancers, such as carcinomas and melanomas.
- Skin inflammation: as a first reaction, the skin, hit by UV rays, reacts with hypothermia, releasing cytokines that promote inflammatory phenomena, psoriasis and dermatitis.
- Loss of collagen and elasticity: UV rays are directly responsible for activating proteolytic enzymes in the epidermis, which immediately affect the levels of type 1 and 2 collagen. The immediate effects are structural blemishes: wrinkles, dry, and dehydrated skin. A 2015 study in the Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology demonstrates a 50% loss of collagen in just three months of sun exposure.
- Oxidative stress: the penetration of UV rays into the epidermis increases the production of free radicals that damage cells, lipids, proteins and DNA, contributing to the sagging of the skin structure with wrinkles and loss of elasticity.
Sun, salt and wind
Salt and sea water, rich in mineral salts, on the one hand have beneficial effects on health, on the other hand they can, following prolonged exposure and combined with other atmospheric elements (sun, wind), compromise the skin's balance :
- Increased pH: Raising the pH level and salt balance increases the vulnerability of the skin's fungal barrier, potentially causing dermatitis, redness, and infections.
- Photosensitivity: salt residues are deposited on the surface layer of the epidermis in the form of tiny crystals that reflect UV rays, enhancing their damaging effects.
- Osmotic dehydration: the presence of salt crystals on the epidermis draws water from the inside to the outside by osmosis, causing rapid dehydration.
Dull and damaged hair
The combination of exposure to the sun and the high concentration of mineral salts is very problematic for the health of the hair :
- Loss of shine, split ends, and brittle hair : hair keratin, when hit by UV rays, sees its internal disulfide bonds destroyed, causing chronic structural damage. A L'OREAL study shows that 5 days of exposure to sun and salt water reduces shine by 30%.
- Frizzy and dry hair : UV rays and saltiness compromise the natural hydrolipidic film that surrounds the hair bulb and scalp, increasing the level of dehydration.
- Breakage and loss : the increase in pH causes the opening of external scales in the hair, increasing the weakness of the shaft and bulb, promoting dullness, breakage and hair loss.
Why silk is the ideal natural remedy for skin and hair
At the end of the summer you may find yourself with tanned skin but with numerous problems:
- dehydration,
- hypersensitivity,
- inflammation,
- subcutaneous spots
- wrinkles
You may also experience hair problems:
- frizzy,
- exhausted,
- buckets,
- dull and visibly damaged
- dehydrated and scaly scalp
The best solution is a post-vacation treatment with natural silk products that are compatible with the skin and hair. In this context , silk for skin and hair represents a natural Italian excellence, combining well-being, gentleness, and functionality.
Why silk is the ideal natural remedy
Silk for skin and hair is natural and rich in active, healing proteins : fibroin and sericin have long been functional ingredients in many cosmetic excipients. These proteins adapt to the needs of the skin and hair, creating true beauty and care treatments with combined physiological and metabolic affinities that other excipients or fabrics cannot achieve. These are the great benefits of silk.

The benefits of silk for skin and hair
Hydrating and regenerating action
- Silk absorbs up to 30% of its weight in moisture, hydrating skincare with silk and for the hair.
- The daily use of fibroin in contact with the skin increases the water retention capacity of the stratum corneum of the epidermis ( study published in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules (2017) )
- Sericin creates a protective silk film for skin and hair by balancing the hydrolipidic film
The silk pillowcase for hair from the T.SILK COLLECTION Beauty Kit Plus, used regularly, allows you to enjoy all the benefits of silk for your skin and hair: it maintains optimal levels of skin moisture, balancing it with lipid levels, and a surface film ensures the processes of regeneration and anti-aging cell replacement. The silk pillow also enhances the effects of nighttime regeneration.
Antioxidant and protective action
- Free radicals produced in the skin by UV rays are neutralized by the action of sericin , limiting oxidative damage and skin photoaging.
- Sericin stimulates collagen production and synthesis and limits lipid peroxidation ( Zhang et al. Biomaterials 2006 )
The silk mask with silk padding from the T.SILK COLLECTION Beauty Kit Plus is pure silk for skin and hair and protects the eye contour by promoting cell turnover, increasing elasticity, preventing oxidation and regulating skin moisture.
Soothing and anti-inflammatory action
-
Sericin and fibroin reduce skin inflammation by limiting the release of cytokines
-
Fibroin releases healing amino acids for irritated and red skin
-
Ultra-smooth filament prevents rubbing, friction and micro-abrasions
Silk pillowcase for skin, especially when paired with silk pillows with silk padding , silk sheets care for sensitive skin by deeply nourishing it, preventing wrinkles, contact dermatitis, redness and minor abrasion.

- Breakages: free and damaged spaces are filled, strengthening the structure and preventing breakage and hair loss.
- Brightness: promotes hair health and a 35/40% increase in brightness
- Post-beach frizz : sericin and fibroin regulate the humidity of the hair and the surrounding environment, limiting the post-beach frizz effect.
