Your skin is the largest organ of your body and can be affected not only by the food you eat, the lotions and potions you smooth on to it, but also what you wear. This is especially so for activewear because as you sweat you are prone to absorb the microplastics in your synthetic clothes.
New Year’s Resolution and Solution: Aim for organic and non-toxic workout clothes for 2025.

Airocwear fuses the naturally-superior functions of bamboo with a timeless style for their activewear.”Tiny pockets in the fibres of the bamboo fabric (‘Nanopores’) allow your body to breathe naturally. That’s important because the human body needs to maintain its core temperature at safe levels when exercising. Unlike synthetic fabrics such as polyester, bamboo fabric has the ability to adapt to your changing body temperature – directly impacting your level of comfort as you move. Unlike other conventional methods, lyocell bamboo is made using a closed-loop process that conserves water and minimises its environmental impact. Although they do use elastane to give their garments stretch, they only use about 5% to 10% – and are actively searching for a natural alternative. As soon as it exists, they say they will be the first in line to use it. Until then, know that wearing Airoc is still vastly kinder to the environment than synthetic fabrics (virgin or recycled).
