All this reveals that our skin is a living organ, an open system that is active 24 hours a day and that is vital to the proper functioning of our body. For this organ to work properly and stay healthy we must take care of it, so it is recommended that we keep it well hydrated, drinking at least 2 litres of water a day, eating healthily -especially vegetables and fruit- exercising and not exposing it to the sun during the hours of strongest radiation. We call this the first skin, essential, but not the only one.<br \/>\nOur second skin is our clothing, which also acts as a protective barrier against external and internal factors, so it should breathe and insulate us just as the first skin does. Here it is no longer so clear what we should and shouldn&#8217;t wear.<br \/>\nIt is very important to know what materials our garments are made of, since we often get carried away by design or fashion rather than by composition. And although every garment carries a label with its composition (for example, 80% cotton, 20% polyester), it is almost impossible to know the number of processes and chemical components a textile can actually contain.<br \/>\nAnd why? Because clothing is not just fabric and nothing more. It contains synthetic dyes, metals, anti-sweat nanoparticles, waterproofing agents, flame retardants, anti-static treatments, stain repellents, bactericides, moth repellents, softeners, anti-wrinkle treatments, microplastics, etc. But that&#8217;s not all. What happens nowadays with synthetic fabrics -derived from petroleum- such as polyester, nylon, acrylic, spandex, acetate\u2026? When you wear them, don&#8217;t you feel you sweat more?<\/p>\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Most likely yes, and they cause bad odours, because these synthetic fibres absorb sweat poorly and are poor regulators of humidity and body temperature, which is essential in this second protective barrier. What&#8217;s more, being plastic, they are poor conductors of electricity and generate electrostatic charges, on top of being highly flammable fabrics. There you go!<br \/>\nSo how do we go about it? Natural fibres will always be better than synthetic ones, but, like natural fibres, they are not exempt from treatments to make them more attractive or to give them an extra feature either; we always recommend organic fabrics, certified by some kind of seal, such as the GOTS seal (Global Organic Textile Standard), especially for underwear and bedding, since this is when the cell regeneration process takes place.<br \/>\nOur third skin is our home, which, just like the first and second skins, should behave as an open system, allowing exchange with the outside while also protecting and insulating us. And bearing in mind that we spend around 90% of our time indoors, we should be all the more mindful of what materials we want to live alongside.<br \/>\nNo one would think of covering their skin in plastic to make it easier to clean or maintain, yet this is not so obvious when it comes to our third skin (plastic paints, synthetic flooring, synthetic fabrics, etc.). This third skin should protect and insulate us from the outside, but it must also allow it to breathe, absorb and regulate vapour and humidity, and provide warmth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This is why <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lacompanyiaverda.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff\">La Companyia Verda<\/span><\/a><\/strong> designs and builds with natural, renewable materials, taking into account surface temperatures, relative humidity, ambient temperature and electroclimate, and ensuring they do not release harmful substances, minimising environmental impact and allowing the building envelope to breathe and interact with the interior space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2115,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
