New Miracle Fiber to Relieve Dry Skin?

I once read that bamboo floors are recommended for those with allergies due to their anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. I knew of one father actually change the whole flooring of his house to bamboo for the sake of his 2-year-old daughter with severe eczema. While it is hard to say that bamboo flooring can actually provide relief to eczema, its anti-bacterial properties is a fact.

A recent article says that there are clothing and linens made of bamboo, which quality surpass organic cotton and silk in every way, especially in relation to dry skin conditions and eczema. According to experts, due to its unique qualities, bamboo clothing actually addresses some of the factors which result in dry skin conditions. Some of these unique qualities are:

* Bamboo are 4 times are absorbent than cotton. Thus bamboo can absorbs sweat quickly and you will stay dry and cool even in hot days.

* On a microscopic level, bamboo fibers are round and smooth, thus bamboo clothing and linens are soft, smooth and silky. It does not cling to the skin and cause friction which can be very painful for eczema skin.

* Bamboo’s porous qualities ensure your skin can breath through it. Bamboo fabrics is cooler than others. In fact, they are 2 to 3 degrees cooler than other clothing.

* Although our skin is designed to fight bacteria and fungus, this is damaged in dry skin conditions such as eczema and psoraisis. Tests done on bamboo fabric found that it kills 99.8% of bacteria. So bamboo clothing helps keep you fresh and cool.

* Since bamboo plant is not prone to pests, it is grown organically without any chemicals which irritates the skin.

Bamboo clothings seems to offer a good solution to those with dry skin conditions. It is worth a try definately. Unfortunately, bamboo fabric is not widely available in the market yet. If anyone knows where to find bamboo fabric, please share here as I am interested to know too. Having said that, even with bamboo clothings, a good daily routine of cleansing and moisturizing, a healthy diet, and adequate exercise are still important for dry skin healing.
