Your skin may be especially sensitive or delicate for a variety of reasons.

• Are you or have you gone through cancer treatment resulting in dry, itchy skin with redness or radiation damage

• Do you have allergies causing dryness and itching

• You have a virus that causes rashes and nerve-related skin pain

Having periodic or permanent sensitive skin can be a challenge. One of the factors that may help relieve the issue is your choice of clothing. Clothes made from 100% natural materials, like cotton and silk, can help soothe and protect sensitive skin. These natural fibers offer a range of benefits making them ideal for people with sensitive skin.

It is important to emphasize that there is no scientific evidence to suggest that cotton or silk has any healing effect on cancer or other illnesses. These fabrics are recommended solely as a soothing factor, and the effect will always be individual.

Cotton and silk (recycled silk or mulberry silk) are all known for their softness. These nature-made materials feel pleasant against the skin and reduce the risk of irritation and itching. Sensitive skin can be highly reactive to rough or synthetic fabrics, but cotton and silk are natural and smooth, which helps minimize the risk of discomfort.
The Danish Cancer Society Kræftens Bekæmpelse is in their article on (redness and skin irritation), among other things, specifically recommending using only fragrance-free creams and soaps, as well as wearing cotton and silk clothing on the affected areas of the body.

Another important quality of cotton and silk is the breathability. These fibers allow air to circulate freely between the clothing and the skin, which helps regulate body temperature and prevent excessive sweat and moisture. For individuals with sensitive skin who may be vulnerable to developing rashes or dermatitis due to sweat buildup, this is a particularly valuable feature.

In addition, both cotton and silk are naturally hypoallergenic materials. They do not contain the same chemicals or synthetic additives found in many other fabrics, which reduces the risk of allergic reactions. This makes them suitable even for the most sensitive skin types.

We haven’t talked much about merino wool in this context. Many people mistakenly perceive merino wool as a material that itches and irritates. However, our merino wool is exceptionally soft and fine, and for most people, even those with very sensitive skin, it feels wonderful to wear.

What makes merino wool truly stand out from the rest is its incredibly fine fibers — thinner than a third of a human hair. These delicate threads come with a host of benefits, from luxurious softness to being gentle enough even for sensitive, allergy-prone skin

Cotton, silk, and merino wool are all easy to maintain. They are generally machine washable, and if you follow our care instructions carefully, they will retain their softness and comfort even after repeated washes.
This makes them a practical and durable choice for those with sensitive skin who need comfortable clothing.

Choosing to wear clothing made from 100% natural materials for your sensitive skin, is a win in many ways. Their softness, breathability, hypoallergenic nature, easy maintenance, and environmentally friendly qualities make them the ideal choice, for those who want to keep their skin happy and healthy, while still enjoying comfort and style.

I love my silk tops and blouses from Seamless Basic. I wear them all day long. I’ve always had sensitive skin and have prioritized pure, organic skincare products. To wear clothes that allows my skin to breathe is essential to me. The silk feels warming and soothing to my nervous system. I simply can’t settle down or sleep without my silk blouses.

In autumn 2022, I became very ill and was hospitalized. It turned out that I had developed a rare autoimmune disease, which is a severe inflammation. Three weeks in the hospital and heavy medication were incredibly hard on my body, my skin, and my nervous system. I’m now on immunosuppressive medication, which helps, but it´s also hard for the body. It marked the beginning of a long journey back to being myself.

I feel like my silk blouses from Seamless Basic are helping me. Putting them on feels like pure self-care. They are soft and beautiful. The nude shades are sensual, and they make me feel more feminine during a time where my health has been and still is very challenged.

Love
