The secret to smooth, hydrated skin may be silk


RX for brown skin for African American skin care products

 


Most women who care about their skin know that they need to buy and African American skin care product with the right ingredients to boost the health of their complexion. For example, a study conducted by researchers at the Case Western Reserve University found that green tea has the potential to aid in the treatment of a variety of skin disorders thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties.


Recently, Everyday Health ran an article on one substance that many people may not realize can benefit their skin - silk. According to Jennifer Peterson, M.D., a dermatologist at the Dermatology & Laser Surgery Center in Texas, sleeping on a silk pillow case will leave your skin more hydrated than if you use a cotton one, since the tightly-woven fibers won't draw moisture from your face.


Next, the dermatologist said that studies have found that a European fabric called DermaSilk may help treat irritated skin.


"One particular study showed improvements in patients with the skin condition eczema who used Dermasilk, but not in those who used cotton," said Peterson, quoted by the news source.


So the next time you find yourself wondering how your skin got so dry, you may want to grab some silk sheets.
