What is the difference between Skinnies viscose and silk?

If you suffer from eczema or psoriasis, you know that certain fabrics can leave you feeling scratchy and sore. Many clothing materials can make sensitive skin symptoms like dryness, redness, and itching worse. However, the right therapeutic fabrics can not only help protect your skin it may even help irritated areas heal faster.

First of all, all Skinnies therapeutic clothing products are of the finest quality and built with sensitive skin issues in mind. Also, all Skinnies garments are built using the same custom knitting machines that provide a soft, seamfree close-knit weave for strength and durability.

Secondly, both fabrics offer excellent adjunct treatments for eczema, psoriasis, sensitive skin and a host of other irritations of the skin.
