Protect Your Child's Skin and Body in All Seasons with Base Layers
What is a base layer?
A base layer is the undergarment we wear that come in different fabrics and styles that have benefits best suited to certain climates and conditions. It is the layers one that sits next to your child's skin and should act as a constant ‘second skin’ throughout your day.
Why do my kids need a base layer?
It is often said that the best way to dress kids is in layers. Layering kids clothing helps them to regulate your temperature better without getting too hot or too cold. Kids layers are extra important since they’re rarely holding still and it’s easy for them to get hot and sweaty (and then quickly freeze after that).
A good base layer can act as a layer of protection for your skin. A lot of clothes we buy from major retailers are made from cheap fabric and can contain toxic chemicals due to the way the fabric is processed. A base layer made of high-quality, soft fabric helps protects your child's skin, especially if they have eczema.
A good base layer can also provide a layer of warmth while absorbing and evaporating your sweat to keep you feeling warm and comfortable. This is especially important for kids who are involved in so many different activities all day long. In many disciplines of medicine, including Traditional Chinese Medicine and naturopathic medicine, it is extremely important to keep our bodies warm to maintain circulation and good health.
