DermaSilk Facial Mask

You can wash your DermaSilk clothing using a bit of mild shampoo, like baby shampoo, in lukewarm water (around 30-40°C). You can do this by hand or in the washing machine using a gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach, fabric softeners, stain removers, or disinfectants. Rinse the garments thoroughly with plenty of water and avoid spinning or tumble-drying them or drying them directly under heat sources.

To keep your DermaSilk clothes soft, soak them in lukewarm water mixed with baking soda (2 tablespoons per liter) for 2-3 hours before regular washing. This helps remove any mineral buildup on the fibers. If you have hard water, you can use vinegar instead. If washing by hand, soak the clothes in water with white vinegar (1 tablespoon per 3 liters) for an hour before rinsing. If using a washing machine, add 4-5 tablespoons of white vinegar to the softener compartment.

For stubborn stains, you can use the same procedure with water heated to 60°C. Any remaining stains are likely just pigment stains and won't affect the effectiveness of your DermaSilk clothing. Also, you can use a net wash bag to protect the fabric from snagging.

Take good care of your clothes by following the washing instructions for longer-lasting wear. It's essential to stick to the guidelines on the label inside each garment.

Remember, DermaSilk clothes are more than just regular outfits; they are Class I Medical Devices and need special attention.

DermaSilk is pre-shrunk when it is made but washing can sometimes tighten the knit, making it appear to have shrunk. If this occurs gently iron the garment down its length with a cool steam iron to restore the size.

Versatile: Soft, lightweight, and cool, DermaSilk® underwear can be worn during the day or at night as needed. It's helpful during acute flare-ups of the condition, during periods of remission, as ongoing therapy, and for prevention.

Fit: DermaSilk garments work directly on the skin.

Creams/ointments: The antimicrobial protection of DermaSilk clothing starts working upon contact with the skin. For best results, ensure the skin is clean before wearing the garments. If using creams or ointments, make sure they're fully absorbed before putting on the clothing, as grease and dirt can reduce the effectiveness of the antimicrobial. It's advisable to avoid very greasy creams and opt for liquid or spray emollients when possible.

Colours: The garments in the DermaSilk lines have the natural colour of silk and have not undergone any dyeing process. Collant and Comfort Socks are made with dyed yarns before the knitted process.

Can I use DermaSilk in any season?

Yes, DERMASILK garments have characteristics that make them suitable for all seasons. They are made with a light and very breathable mesh; they have a thermoregulatory function (they maintain the body temperature, without cooling down in the presence of sweating) and also have an excellent hygroscopic capacity, which allows them to absorb and quickly release humidity, retaining the optimal quantity between the fibers for the balance of the skin (10-35%).

How long do DermaSilk garments last?

DermaSilk garments last a long time due to the durable silk fiber they're made of. For best results, it's recommended to wash them daily. To extend their lifespan, consider buying at least two garments so the fibers can "rest" between wears. Ideal for those seeking clothing for eczema.

Is the antimicrobial that protects DermaSilk safe?

DERMASILK has no contraindications or side effects, because the antimicrobial that protects it is permanently fixed to the fiber and is an integral part of its structure: it is never released, neither following intense use nor following washing. For this reason, DERMASILK does not alter the normal bacterial flora of the skin and does not create microbial resistance phenomena (CNR - National Research Council certification).
