I'm kind of into trying wacky products for the sake of beauty. Activated charcoal to turbo whiten my teeth? It didn't work, but darn if I wasn't hopeful. An elephant-esque contraption for gorgeous hair? Duh, best idea ever. Rice flour smeared all over my face to expedite acne scar fading? You betchya. Next up on my journey to a gorgeous visage via unconventional methods: exfoliating with silkworm cocoons. E.T. PHONE HOME. OK, seriously, here's the little bugger up close. As you can see, it's a hollowed out silkworm cocoon with absolutely zero silkworms in sight. I like to imagine the silkworm once housed in this husk is off making silk for Zac Posen or someone equally fabulous. (FYI, Zac Posen totally talked to me on Instagram one time. I asked him a question and he responded, "Yes.") Anyway, I purchased these cocoons on Amazon, where there's a decent assortment to choose from. The really cheap ones are likely not the highest quality, but a middle-of-the-pack option fared well for me. Now, to answer a very important question: What's the point? According to avid users of silk cocoons, there are, in fact, several points. 1. The cocoons gently exfoliate your skin, leaving it soft and clean. 2. Sericin, a protein created by silkworms, is supposedly imparted on your skin when you use them. 3. The silk cocoons are also believed to stimulate your skin to improve collagen production. Let's test it out. To begin, place one cocoon in hot water and let it sit for 20 minutes. This softens the cocoon to make its exterior less abrasive and helps release the sericin. The cocoon does hold its shape very well, which surprised me. Next, put the softened cocoon on the tip of your finger and gently rub it over your skin in a circular motion. The cocoons are popular for use around areas that are prone to fine lines, like the eyes and the mouth. The cocoons provide precision when exfoliating dry, flaky skin, including old and fading acne scars. You're supposed to use each cocoon only once and repeat the exfoliation process about every other day. My final verdict: I think the silk cocoons are cool to have around and weird people out with, but in terms of practicality, I think I'll stick with my run-of-the-mill exfoliator. Also, I'm not quite sure how effective they are for anti-aging. I think if I were to repurchase, it would be to buff dry and flaky skin. I noticed my makeup applied smoother after using the cocoons on those areas. What do you think? Too gross? Too cool? Ever tried it?
  • TEKST: Hello you! A while back we introduced the Japanese organic skincare brand Kamiya which is exclusive to Japan Skin. In this brand, there is one curious product so mysterious that people have been asking us what it is, and how to use it. The product that we are talking about is the humble pack of 30 silkworm cocoons. What are Silkworm Cocoons? It is a cocoon made out of 100% silk, using only natural ultra-fine fibres. All the cocoons are hollowed out, so you can easily slip it onto your finger. Don’t worry, there are absolutely no silkworms in it. The silkworm cocoons contain a protein called Sericin that is produced by the silkworms. As part of ancient skincare, these silkworm cocoons are meant to be used as exfoliators; they remove impurities, dead skin, and make up residue while hydrating your skin. Sericin itself has 18 amino acids that move to work as you gently scrub your face with the cocoon. Sericin behaves like a thin layer over the skin that keeps moisture in and impurities out. It also helps to stimulate the skin’s natural collagen production to keep your skin elastic and reduce wrinkles. How to use them? Here are some simple steps to follow when it comes to using these silkworm cocoons. Wash your face with your usual facial cleansers first. Soak in warm water for 5-10 minutes. Make sure that the entire silkworm cocoon is submerged! The rationale for soaking it in warm water is for the Sericin within the silk fibres to be released. Soaking the cocoon also helps to soften it; you’ll be surprised to find out how firm these cocoons are, they do not yield easily. Fit the cocoon onto your finger and start gently massage the cocoon around your face. Key word here is gently, if too much force is used, it may end up damaging your skin. Focus on troubled areas that you feel need a little more care! Continue on with your usual skincare regime. Our Kamiya silkworm cocoons can be reused up to 3 times, so do find a clean container to dry it out and store it for future use. The cocoon’s gentle nature makes exfoliating every alternate day possible, although people with sensitive skin could put in more days between each exfoliation as you’ll do with usual exfoliators. If you’ve used it, do let us know how it went, if you haven’t, check out the product and more from the Japanese organic skincare brand Kamiya!
