Silent Nights and Merry Mornings: DermaSilk Pyjamas Bring Joy This Christmas

It's that time of year again – the office is adorned with festive decorations, inboxes overflow with holiday wishes, and Christmas tunes fill the air. As the anticipation builds, especially for those with little ones eagerly awaiting Santa, the countdown to Christmas is in full swing.

Parents, you know the challenge of convincing excited children to sleep during this magical week. Some resort to clever tactics like starting Advent Calendars a day late to ensure early bedtimes on Christmas Eve. However, for families dealing with the added challenge of a child with eczema, the nightly struggle goes beyond the typical holiday excitement.

While occasional sleepless nights are par for the course during the festive season, imagine the toll on households where a child battles eczema. Daytime itching is challenging enough, but at night, the discomfort intensifies. The warmth under the bedclothes exacerbates scratching during sleep, leading to broken skin, bleeding, and potential infection. Parents often find themselves awake multiple times each night, disrupting the entire family's sleep routine.

In the quest to alleviate the relentless itching, parents turn to emollients and steroid creams. Yet, these solutions can be messy, time-consuming, and leave the skin feeling tacky, exacerbating the issue as pyjamas stick to irritated skin. Fortunately, a breakthrough in bio functional clothing brings hope to these families – DermaSilk pyjamas.

Clinical trials have demonstrated the remarkable soothing effect of DermaSilk pyjamas on the skin of children with eczema, offering respite and promoting restful sleep. Take the story of Baby Ellen as a typical example of the challenges these families face.

Since she was a baby Ellen has had eczema on her arms and behind her knees. “The nurse at the Children's’ Clinic explained that Ellen had atopic eczema and needed covering in emollient creams. If that didn’t work then we used topical steroids or a medicine to help reduce the itch.” said her mother, Louise. 

But the waking in the night continued. Six or seven times a night Ellen’s parents were woken by her crying. “The itch drove her crazy. We tried everything. Smothering her with cream, cooling lotions, bathing and showering her in cold water, but nothing helped” added Louse.

Ellen suffered terribly and kept asking “Mummy why does it never stop itching?” Then Louise read about a new type of silk clothing called DermaSilk which helps against eczema and ordered a pair of pyjamas to try.

“Ellen always wanted to dress like a glittery princess at bedtime but after we tried these for a few nights she didn’t want anything else on at bedtime,” said Louise. “Since the very first week, nights have been calm and the sores have begun to heal. Today my daughter doesn’t need her anti-itch medicine. The eczema is treated, and we now sleep the whole night”

This Christmas, while DermaSilk pyjamas may not thwart the excitement of Santa's impending visit, they offer the gift of serene nights throughout the year.
