But did you know, that with even our best intentions, there may be an invisible trigger, putting your Rosacea-prone skin at risk?
Step 2: Immerse one of your items in the water and give it a swish.
Step 3: Examine the water. If you see bubbles and suds, this shows that your laundry detergent has not completely rinsed out, and can cause redness and irritation, and Rosacea flare-ups.
Step 4: If you find detergent residue in your water, simply toss your items back in the washing machine and select "rinse cycle" to give them a clean rinse and test again if necessary.
Think of is this way. Would you wash your face with laundry detergent? Probably not. But when detergent residue is left behind on your sheets, towels, and washcloths, you are in essence, washing, drying, and even sleeping on those detergents. And although hypoallergenic detergents are much more gentle than regular detergents, direct contact to sensitive, Rosacea-prone skin can cause irritation, break-outs and flare-ups.
