BREATHABILITY 

Is one of the benefits that silk has to offer. Silk is breathable and allows moisture to evaporate rather than trapping it. A garment made from silk stays fresh, (remains odourless) much longer than synthetic clothing because the natural fats and proteins in silk have an antibacterial effect. Especially for prolonged wear throughout the day, it will leave you feeling refreshed.

In contrast, polyester satin does not allow your skin to breath. Though it might feel smooth on your skin, synthetic fabric traps heat and moisture, as it does not allows air to pass through. This creates an environment for smelly bacteria to grow.

SENSITIVE SKIN/ IRRITATION 

Synthetic non-breathable fabrics usually undergo strong dyes or are treated by chemicals during production that can cause skin irritation.

Cotton fabric boost good breathability yet it is water absorbent that tends to dry out skin. Compared to cotton, silk absorbs less moisture and essential oils.

Silk is less likely to cause any allergic reaction, as it is natural, breathable and considered hypoallergenic. Its smooth texture is gentle  against skin, which means that you can avoid itchy skin, irritation and redness.

Beyond its skin friendly qualities, silk is naturally known for its shine and softness, adding a glow and lustre to each piece. 

ANTIBACTERIAL

Silk fabric has natural antibacterial and anti fungal properties. In other words it actively fights against any bacteria attempting to grow. Embracing a fresh intimate environment.

BEST FOR TRAVELING

Adding the quick-drying nature of silks to the benefits list, makes them a superior choice for traveling -long flights and car rides. Hand wash your silks and have them clean and ready for next days adventures. 

Final Note: CHOOSE FABRIC TYPE BY PURPOSE

All fabrics are not created equally, they each have their own unique set of pros and cons. It is false to assume synthetics have only negative properties

Synthetic fabric is known for its durability, elasticity, water repellents and ease of care. Synthetic materials may be a smarter choice when it comes to sportswear or performance clothing, However not for an extended period of time (1-2 hour). After sports, change to post-workout clothes ideal made from water-soaking, natural materials.
