Silk generally refers to mulberry silk. Its
biggest feature is comfort and heat insulation. There is even the nickname “the
second layer of human skin”.
What
are the specific characteristics of silk?
1. Composed of mulberry silk protein fiber,
the friction coefficient is the lowest among all types of fibers, so people
will have a unique softness when they wear silk because it fits every inch of
our skin.
2. Mulberry silk is extremely hygroscopic,
because the amino element in it is called fibrin, which is easy to distribute
water due to its porosity. It can maintain a certain amount of moisture in the
skin under normal temperature, so that the skin is not easy to dry. Especially
in summer, mulberry silk can help you dissipate heat in your body and absorb
sweat on the surface of your body.
3. Mulberry silk is indeed
anti-ultraviolet, because the tryptophan in it can absorb ultraviolet light and
has a good anti-ultraviolet function. After many people buy silk products,
merchants will ask buyers to remember not to expose silk products to the sun
after washing. The reason is that after silk absorbs ultraviolet rays, the
overall color will gradually turn yellow.
Silk underwear and silk pajamas are definitely the best products for sleep.
Many experimental data show that wearing
silk pajamas is beneficial to sleep. Pajamas are soft in thickness and
comfortable to wear, which is good for falling asleep. The silk fabric is soft
and can produce a subtle massage effect on the skin, absorb and help eliminate
sweat and secretions on the skin, and keep the skin clean.
Contact dermatitis rarely occurs after silk
pajamas come into contact with the skin. On the contrary, through the
activities of the human body, the skin constantly rubs against silk underwear,
which can also play an auxiliary role in the treatment of certain skin
diseases.
Of course, there are pros and cons. The
silk fabric is particularly delicate and needs the gentle care of the owner.
In short, if you don't really own a silk
product, you may never be able to understand its beauty. But when you really
wear it, you may not be able to have more love for other fabrics.
