Silk Vs Cotton

All Skinnies garments are built using custom knitting machines that provide a soft, close knit weave for strength and durability.

All Skinnies Garments are the finest quality and built with sensitive skin issues in mind:

• Seamfree technology - no more friction, less bulky and freedom to move
• Better body fit - more comfortable, superbly soft and wearable
• Different colours - they don't look medical, and kids love them
• Durable - tested to withstand more than 50 washes for real durability

So, we know that Skinnies is an excellent choice, but you are probably wondering, how do I choose between Silk and Cotton?  What is the difference?

Both Skinnies Silk and Skinnies Cotton offer excellent adjunct treatments for eczema, psoriasis, sensitive skin, EB, wounds and a host of other irritations of the skin. The main difference between the Silk and the Cotton products are listed below:

The Benefits of Skinnies Silk:

• Calms and soothes irritated, itchy skin, often within the hour
• Enhances efficacy of conventional medications allowing patients to cut down on medical costs
• Prevents and heals infection without side effects
• Heals eczema and dermatitis flares faster than cotton or medication alone
• Enables patients to experience increased comfort, heal faster, sleep better and maintain a better quality of life
• Silk fibres are soft and non abrasive
• Specially treated silk is totally hypoallergenic
• Silk enhances collagen synthesis and reduces inflammatory processes
• Maintains body temperature at a constant level
• Absorbs moister without feeling damp and helps the skin stay supple
• Has a naturally occurring pH balance

Skinnies Silk has the added protection of a permanent, non migrating antimicrobial bonded to the fabric:

• Antimicrobial controls spread of bacteria and helps prevent the terrible itch, scratch, infection cycle
• Fights bacterial and fungal infections without chemicals or drugs
• Does not migrate onto the wearers skin
• Maintains its effectiveness for the life of the garment

The Benefits of Skinnies Cotton:
