Mayfairsilk has released a guide on silk pillowcases and their potential benefits for individuals undergoing chemotherapy.

London, United Kingdom, September 21, 2026 /PressCable/ -- Mayfairsilk has published a guide on silk pillowcases and their potential benefits for chemotherapy patients struggling with hair loss, scalp tenderness, dry skin, and other side effects from treatment. The guide outlines the natural properties of silk and how they may improve sleep quality and provide relief from some symptoms; it also advises readers how to choose a product that will offer the most comfort.

The new guide explains that silk is a natural, protein-based fibre derived from cocoons created by the domestic silkmoth, Bombyx mori. According to Mayfairsilk, dermatologists and professional aestheticians have long recommended silk bedding for individuals with sensitive skin, as the material’s amino acid composition and smooth texture can improve comfort and reduce irritation. These benefits extend to hair health, and they can even aid individuals who are suffering from hair- and scalp-related issues due to chemotherapy.
Mayfairsilk’s resource says that one of the primary benefits of silk bedding, particularly pillowcases, is that the fabric is gentle on the scalp, which can alleviate discomfort from inflammation or sensitivity caused by chemotherapy treatments. The smooth fibres reduce mechanical friction, and they are less hospitable to dust mites and other allergens, which, in turn, can lessen irritation in tender areas. Additionally, silk contains the proteins fibroin and sericin, which help maintain natural oils in the hair, as well as any medicated creams or treatments applied to the scalp - Mayfairsilk says that this property can prevent breakage, making it more conducive to hair regrowth than cotton.
The guide adds that silk has natural thermoregulatory properties that allow the material to adapt to body temperature and keep sleeping surfaces cool. This can help relieve the discomfort caused by night sweats or hot flashes, which are other common side effects of chemotherapy.
However, not all silk pillowcases are suitable for individuals undergoing chemo, which is why Mayfairsilk advises readers to research products carefully. Cancer patients should only purchase silk pillowcases that are OEKO-TEX Standard 100-certified, or they may risk exposing themselves to toxic dyes and other harsh chemicals. Additionally, Mayfairsilk only recommends pillowcases that are 22 momme and above, as these are higher-quality options that contain more silk per square metre, making them softer and more durable than products with lower momme weights.

Global tourism is entering a new era of strategic choices. The industry is still generating economic growth, but geopolitical instability, climate pressures, investment challenges and technological disruption are testing its long-term competitiveness. The numbers reveal a paradox. According to the World Economic Forum’s Travel & Tourism Development Index 2026, 92% of the 110 economies assessed have improved their conditions for tourism development since 2024. The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) forecasts a US$12 trillion contribution to the global economy in 2026, supporting around 376 million jobs.
“I think about quitting all the time,” says Jordan Leung, known to his Instagram followers as @69ranch. As one of Hong Kong’s most prominent stand-up comedians to emerge in recent years, Leung’s pessimism is surprising. “I don’t wanna make social media content,” the 33-year-old admits. “Now I’m just fixated on likes and stuff … I don’t know how much longer I can do this.” Sitting directly across the table from him, it is not always easy to tell when Leung is being sincere or performing his...

For a while, the blueprint for a serious wellness trip looked pretty much the same everywhere. A flight to somewhere warm, a resort with a view of jungle or terraced rice paddies, a treatment menu borrowing names from ancient traditions, and enough linen to last a lifetime. Scotland was never really part of that picture. It was the place people went for whisky, castles and rain, not the place they went to reset. Then this summer, Scotland’s men’s football team appeared at their first World Cup...
