If you're sick of waking up with creases on your face, feeling ill-rested, it might be time to re-evaluate your pillowcase choice. Though the right bedding can't fix every single problem with your sleep, the peace of mind of protecting your skin and providing a smooth surface for your face to glide across can go a long way. That's where Kim Kardashian's favorite Slip Silk pillowcase comes in.

When asked what she keeps in her bag, the Skims mogul pulled a black-sheathed pillow from deep inside her tote. She states: 'I can't explain how important this pillow is with a black silk pillowcase, and I always travel with those two things no matter what.' Rather than a traditional white cover, Kim opts for this darker shade that resists dirt while travelling, and can be just as easily used on a hotel bed as at home.

So, what are the benefits of a silk pillowcase? According to Slip's website, these stylish sleep aids improve the appearance of fine lines, skin hydration, skin texture, and radiance in just four nights. Though these beauty benefits are not directly linked to sleep, knowing that you will wake up looking refreshed definitely makes drifting off easier. Whether it's Kim's pick or another one, here are our top choices of silk pillowcases available at a range of price points.
