Redheads notoriously have more sensitive skin than others, which means we have to be cautious of the products we use. Did you know laundry detergent is one of the most common household irritants for those with sensitive skin? When we wash our clothes, our laundry detergent helps to loosen and remove dirt, oils, and smells from our laundry. It seems like the detergent would do its job and wash away in the rinse cycle, but particles from the detergent hang onto the cloth and embed themselves into the fibers — this is why your detergent makes your clothes smell good. These particles can then rub against the skin when wearing our clothes and irritate sensitive skin. Using the right detergent can ensure your skin isn’t irritated but your clothes are still getting nice and clean.
To find a laundry detergent suitable for sensitive skin, redheads or anyone with sensitive skin can look for products labeled “hypoallergenic” or “for sensitive skin.” Additionally, choosing a fragrance-free option may help avoid potential irritants. Always check the product labels for any specific skin-friendly claims.
