what is silk？

It seems that you often see these words mixed, silk, silk, mulberry silk, so let’s start with these words.

Silk is actually silk, and the “true” of silk is relative to artificial silk: one is natural animal fiber, and the other is treated polyester fiber. With fire, two kinds of materials can be distinguished:

• When the silk is burned, no open flame can be seen, and there is a smell of burnt hair, which can be crushed into ashes after burning;

• You can see flames when the artificial silk burns, smell of burnt plastic, and there will be glue lumps after burning embers.

Mulberry silk is actually the most common type of silk. According to different food, silkworms can be divided into mulberry silkworm, tussah silkworm, camphor silkworm and other types. The silk they knot is quite different in physical properties, so their uses are also different.

The advantages of silk

The biggest feature of silk is its smoothness and low friction, which is also very important for skin and hair.

For the skin, mechanical friction can lead to thickening of the stratum corneum. In severe cases, it can lead to friction damage, which may be accompanied by mild inflammation and stimulate pigmentation. This is why the elbows we often rub are darker. Therefore, reducing friction can indeed play a role in protecting the skin.

For hair, reducing friction is even more important. Friction can damage the cuticles of the hair, causing the hair to lose moisture and look dull and dull; at the same time, repeated mechanical friction can also cause the hair to break and cause hair loss.

Therefore, silk products can indeed play a certain protective role for some things that are in direct contact with skin and hair, such as pajamas, underwear, and bedding.

Smooth, cool, soft and breathable, who doesn’t love it?

In addition to being smooth, soft and breathable is also one of the advantages of silk.

In summer, it is easy to sweat when the weather is hot. If the clothes are attached to the skin, it is still not breathable, and it is like a walking sauna.

The main reason why most people choose silk may be its skin-friendly feel, so smooth, cool, soft and breathable, who doesn’t love it?
