Sleepwear, skincare or both?

We’ve all upped our loungewear game over the past (almost) two years, and this category has come to take up more room in my closet than I’d care to admit. My collection falls into three categories… Obviously there’s the top tier of fancy silk PJs for celebratory occasions (like New Year’s Eve, which I don’t go out for anymore). Then there are the sets that I could get away with if someone happened to pop over for a glass a wine (and were definitely worn for backyard happy hours when we were social distancing and I was really leaning into the lounge). Lastly, there’s the bottom tier of old tee shirts, scrubs (stolen from an ex), and other pieces that are past their prime but still comfy and comforting on some level.

One genre of loungewear I have not slipped into as of yet is skincare-infused textiles, such as PH5’s PJ5 sleepwear. (You’d think I would have, but I’m not completely sold on their level of efficacy and these pieces are way expensive.) Whether you opt for a ruffled tee and leggings or jumpsuit (which I’m really crushing on), these eco-friendly fabrics are infused with hyaluronic acid—yep, the same hydrating ingredient found in your hydrating serums and moisturizers.

According to the company, eight hours in this loungewear equals the hyaluronic acid content of 3,500 sheet masks (say what?) and the fabric has been tested and shown to retain its HA for 40 washes. I’m a pretty open-minded person but I just don’t see how this is possible. (But if the lovely folks at PH5 were willing to send me a set, I’d certainly give them a try!)

P.S. The men’s-inspired pajama set (or just the top or bottoms!) is 100% cotton minus the hyaluronic acid, and they would make for a great gift or splurge without feeling like a sucker.

What do you think???
