Silky smooth

July 26, 2011

Silk’s a fabric with health benefits, according to new research conducted at the University of Bologna. Underwear made of silk was shown to help relieve the symptoms of thrush (the fungal infection that can cause itching and redness down there). The panties, made of medical-grade silk that also contains an antimicrobial agent, helped reduce the moist conditions candida albicans (the yeast that causes thrush) thrives in.

And in a past study, silk was shown to have potential antiaging properties by helping to form a barrier layer on the skin, thereby potentially plumping the skin and reducing the appearance fine lines.

All this to say I’m pretty sure this gives me a valid reason for ordering this silk Yumi Kim romper.
