“Time” is the factor that affects your skin the most. And when I say Time I don’t mean age rather I mean the time your skin remains in contact with many things during the day or night that may have a negative effect on it. Everyone speaks about UV Rays or Bad Air Quality but no one talks about the one thing that you spend the most time doing. “Sleeping” is the one thing that you do every day for 6-8 hours and during these 6- hours your skin is in constant contact with your bedding. Now if we take 6 hours of 24 hours that is 25% of all your time is spent in your bed. And not many of us take into consideration the effect our Bedding has on our skin. So if your skin spends 25% time in constant contact with your bedding shouldn’t you be more considerate about the quality. Now you must be saying to yourself “I have quality bedding, my sheets feel amazing”. Are they?
Most of the Bedding sold around the world is a blend of Cotton and Polyester. It is never clearly mentioned the percentage of their blend. If you talk about Polyester, its the most popular synthetic material, just like plastic, completely man-made and 0% natural. The popularity of Polyester among producers and sellers is due to its cheap cost of production. The blend of Cotton-Polyester is the widely famous one because of Polyester’s synthetic feel it is blended with cotton, which has the breath and feels good next to the skin. This dilutes the “synthetic” feel of polyester and manufacturers proudly write cotton on the labels without clearly mentioning the blend ratio.
