Eczema tips - Part ✌️
In addition to Part I, an additional lifestyle factor to consider if your baby has eczema is: Your washing detergent 🫧
Some babies may experience an exacerbation of their eczema due to certain washing detergents or fabric softeners. This is because conventional detergents often contain harmful chemicals such as fragrances, optical brighteners, synthetic dyes, surfactants, and phosphates 😣
Laundry detergents also leave a chemical residue on clothing that can be absorbed into your baby’s skin or inhaled through their lungs 💔 Therefore, if your baby has ever had itchy skin, eye irritation, eczema, or rashes after wearing clean clothes, the culprit may be your washing liquid or powder 🫧
Opting to choose natural clothing (as discussed in part I) and low-tox laundry products can significantly improve your baby’s comfort, skin, and sleep 😍 Some low-tox brands we recommend and love are Abode, @koalaeco, and @kinkinnaturals. You can purchase any of these brands from @australianorganicproducts 🌿
If your baby’s eczema persists despite these tips, please consider booking a consultation with a naturopath to explore healing their gut from the inside out 🩷💫🫶🏻
