Your Clothes Are Ruining Your Skin
Time For a Closet Clean-Out!
Polyester is everywhere — in your activewear, loungewear, even in brands that once championed natural fabrics. But here's the problem: polyester is an endocrine disruptor. That means it can interfere with your body's hormonal system, potentially leading to serious health concerns over time.
As a fashion lover, it's getting harder and harder to keep up with trends without compromising on health. Brands that once delivered high-quality, natural fabrics are now blending them with synthetics to cut costs. If you're ready to start detoxing your closet, I’ve been researching and curating a list of alternatives; brands that are either organic, low-impact, or explicitly free of toxic synthetics and chemicals. Consider this a living document that I’ll be expanding and adding categories as I continue the journey of detoxing my closet.
