Softness Against Your Skin
I had never heard of bamboo fabric until recently. It makes me happy that so many manufacturers are coming up with all-natural products like bamboo linens and towels. These products are good for our bodies and the environment as well as being high-quality.
A couple months ago I purchased my first set of bamboo sheets, and they are softer than almost any other sheet I have encountered. I actually look forward to going to bed every night in order to feel the silky sheets against my freshly-showered skin. I like my new sheets so much that I bought another set in a different color. They are also quite affordable and easy to find.
Is Your Skin A Toxic Mess?

The skin is the largest organ of the body and most people don’t realize that what they use on their skin is absorbed into the body. The type of moisturizing lotion, laundry detergent and make up you use can all negatively impact your body assuming they’re not all-natural products. Next time you get out of the shower and dry off you should take a minute to think about the towel you’re using.
First of all, did you launder the towel using a grocery-store brand of detergent? Next, has the fabric of the towel been treated with chemicals? If your answer is yes, then you’re making a bad decision for your body. Next time launder your towels in perfume and dye-free detergent and dry off with a bamboo towel. This way you will be sure to keep your skin chemical free.
