Life can often bring some unexpected challenges our way. Most of the time everything is purring along fairly well or perfectly, but there are those moments when a personal health issue might arise. People with sensitive skin know that this condition can really disrupt their life and take a lot of the joy away. These allergic skin reactions or disorders can be caused by a range of different health and environmental factors.
For some, contact with harsh household chemicals or even skin care products can trigger burning, redness, stinging or itchiness. Others report that their skin is uncomfortable, although they don't show visible reactions. Chronic conditions such as eczema or rosacea may be occurring, and in some cases extremely dry or even injured skin may be the problem. If you are suffering from any of these conditions, it's important to find out which fabric solutions are good for your skin.
High Quality Wool
Wool is a naturally occurring fibre that is non-allergenic. With a reversible wool underlay your bed will feel incredibly comfortable, which will help those with sensitive skin get the rest and healing that they need. The perfect quality underlay can make your bed feel like it's from a 5 star hotel.
One of the other benefits of a reversible wool underlay is that it can help keep your body temperature at a perfect level while you sleep. With the right temperature, you'll have a lot less tossing and turning and more restful sleep.
Organic Cotton
With organic cotton, you get a fabric that is ideal for sensitive skin and is also friendly for the environment. It is very soft and breathable, and durable yet lightweight. Those suffering from sensitive skin will appreciate that it will not irritate their condition.
Organic cotton undergoes less processing, and there are no chemicals used. The fibres are therefore stronger, so your clothes will last for a longer time and feel wonderful too.
Silk
Silk is another natural fiber that is suitable for those with sensitive skin. It's hypoallergenic, and has a specific and unique structure to its protein that helps to support your irritated skin.
When you wear silk it is supple and plump, which greatly benefits those with chronic or short-term skin conditions. Silk shirts or blouses will be gentle on your skin during the day. And you'll often find silk sheets, pillowcases and sleepwear that will feel wonderful throughout the night.
