Power dressing is about being comfortable in the clothes you wear. People who have sensitive skin and are prone to allergies keep this in mind when selecting clothes.
Webmd.com says smooth, soft, natural fabrics, such as fine cotton and silk, are best worn next to the skin. Cotton is cool where silk is warm, but both are absorbent, able to draw body moisture away from the skin. Rayon and linen are also comfortable for sensitive skin, although they are heavier than cotton or silk. If you have sensitive skin, choose loose clothing with a minimum of potentially irritating creases and folds.
Laundry tips for sensitive skin:
- Buy biodegradable, fragrance-free laundry detergents with no petrochemicals. These are also better for the environment.
- Always wash new clothes before wearing them to remove any chemical residue.
- Allow the sun, not chlorine, to bleach your clothing. A lemon juice rinse, followed by time in the sun, is more effective than bleach.
