Silk trousers
Trousers should feel comfortable to wear, so it's important to choose the trouser fabric with care. Because silk is so smooth against the skin, a pair of silk trousers will feel exquisitely soft. This pair of white Noil silk trousers works well for all sorts of occasions, from office attire to an evening out or a casual meal with friends. The trousers also go well with any type of blouse, jumper or jacket.

Silk pyjamas
Silk is ultra kind to skin, and it's even said that silk can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles by keeping the skin soft, so it stands to reason that when it comes to slumber time a pair of silk pyjamas deserve a place in your home. These beautiful black pyjamas by Julianne Jeanne with contrast piping are utterly elegant, yet look incredibly comfortable at the same time.

Silk socks
Forget cotton socks, which are vulnerable to snags and holes forming, and instead treat yourself to an elegant pair of silk socks. Because silk is so durable, it will last a long time, and you'll feel fabulous wearing them. Silk can act as an insulator as well, so when the temperature plummets, a pair of silk socks can really keep your feet warm.

Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes.

Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years!
