- Use DermaSilk in conjunction with current medication. However, when applying emollients, make sure that only a thin layer is applied so as not to create a barrier between the clothing and the skin. Let it absorb into the skin for a few minutes before you put on the DermaSilk.
- DermaSilk
Therapeutic Clothing is designed to be lightweight and body forming. It needs to be close fitting and in contact with the skin at all times to be fully effective. Ensure continued use of DermaSilk both day and night.
- Remember that DermaSilk is
an undergarment so normal clothes and pyjamas should be worn over the
DermaSilk. Don’t worry, it won’t cause overheating – even in summer.
- As with all-natural fibres, DermaSilk will last longer if 2 or more
garments are rotated in use rather than a single garment being washed and
worn continuously.
