Clothing Sensitivity

Luna

I'm having one of those 'I don't want to wear anything' days. My skin gets hyper sensitive a lot of the time, probably anxiety, and today my left arm is hurting and feels really sensitive to touch. Which is making clothing hard work.

I had a jumper on and the material inside was too much for my arm, triggered the sensitivity in a big way. So I'm just hiding under my blanket now, which weirdly, isn't affecting it as bad.

It's the same with my feet, no socks at the moment, too sensitive so now my feet are cold lol.

  • Maybe have a look at the tags and find out what your clothes are made of. 

    When I started buying 100% natural fibres it revolutionised my... very soul :) Blended wools don't 'feel' right and it's because polys and nylons are literally plastic thread made from petroleum. Tree fibres can feel nice, but the body will respond to them by cooling itself down. Cotton, 100% wools (and other animal hair) and silk, will actually help your biology self-regulate. It took me a while to notice this was happening. I just recall being younger, irritated that I'd like to bundle up in winter but then sweating! And layering in 100% natural fibres (if you can) is a complete game-changer.

    Sometimes the best way to start is a 100% marino wool base layer top and 100% wool socks to wear about the house. If they're even 2% polyester, it won't feel the same.
