Thanks bibi, I have been allergic to wool, angora, any animal fibers since I was born and that included feathers too. So I stay away from all of those. I do well with real silk, not kapok silk which is now being used with cotton because it is fluffier and holds its shape. It comes from a tree and has a natural oil in the fibers so I am not going anywhere near it. I have reactions to most pollens, plant oils and plant extracts.
This leaves me with cotton and silk. I have even tried Linen and flax and they cause my skin to itch and turn red. The really great news is this morning when I climbed out of bed and headed into the powder room my face had almost none of the redness in the cheeks area. I always thought it was post menopausal or the beginnings of rosacea. It felt so good to glance at the mirror and see a normal colored face.
Thanks again
