Skin Friendly Fabrics for a Healthy YOU!
Whether you prefer your fluffy sweats or your amazing power suit… what you put on your birthday suit really does matter!
Skin. The largest organ in our body. Working for us all day and all night. Warming us. Cooling us. Even breathing for us. And what do we do?
- We expose it to the sun’s radiation at levels to the point that skin cancer is growing faster than the next four cancers combined
- We spend $1.2BN a year putting on anti-aging creams and $1.3BN per year on cleansers to take them off
- We wear SPF products when we run to the store and spend $2BN per year on tanning salons.
Whoa! People! We’ve got to do better than this! Our skin is literally our “closest” friend! And the #1 thing we can do to make sure that our skin looks beautiful and stays beautiful is to simply make sure our skin stays healthy.
YOU ARE WHAT YOU WEAR
For the better part of our life our skin is covered by multiple fabrics – usually simultaneously. Fabrics that keep us warm, fabrics that keep us cool and, above all, fabrics that make us look and feel great! But did you know that your skin absorbs a significant portion of what is put on it – and our underarms (and genitals) absorb 100%?! That bit of information alone should make you want to know more about what you’re wearing. Because what you’re wearing literally can become part of who you are.
