(Source: File Photo)Wearing superfine Merino wool next to the skin is therapeutic, and can offer natural relief to those suffering from eczema, according to a study. Research funded by The Woolmark Company has demonstrated benefits of wearing superfine Merino, read a statement. According to the report, dermatology trials have shown that adult and infant eczema sufferers have reduced symptoms when wearing superfine Merino wool garments next to the skin. The report states: “When worn next to skin, superfine Merino wool works as a dynamic buffer, helping maintain a more stable humidity and temperature in the micro-climate between the fabric and the skin. Published in the British Journal of Dermatology, the study concluded that traditional management guidelines classing all wool-based clothing as irritants should be modified to include superfine Merino wool as a recommended clothing choice in childhood atopic dermatitis.
