Step 2
Place a silk scarf of your choice or any other underwear on your cheek. Natural silk instantly acquires body temperature. Therefore, you should not experience any discomfort by running a cloth over the delicate skin.
Step 3
Gather the fabric in small folds, squeeze it tightly in a fist and evaluate the result in a few seconds. The fact is that linen and things made from natural silk wrinkle much less than from artificial.
