It's a known fact that our bodies need sleep to heal -- for our body and brain's ability to function, and also for healthy hair and skin. But did you know that our pillows are typically a gross ecosystem of dust mites, bacteria, pollutants, allergens and fungi, that all thrive on our hot sweaty pillows as we sleep -- and also suck our night cream and natural essential oils from our face.

I'd heard of The Night Pillow that claims to repel allergens, stimulate melatonin, prevent hair loss with its special Trisilk silky material surface, provide optimal moisture levels through the night for healthier, shinier hair, and hydrate skin cells to refine wrinkle. The Night Pillow technology also claims to hydrate cells to minimize and refine wrinkles, prevent breakouts, and even improve the effectiveness of face creams.

I was dubious. I tried it. I'm sleeping better. My hair is shinier, my face is smoother -- and I'm now a convert.
