Sensitive Skin Laundry Pack Giveaway

Tide Pods Free & Gentle When my first-born was a baby, not only did we get a crash course into newborns and parenthood, we also learned about sensitive skin and how to avoid flare-ups pretty quickly.

Elijah was my eczema baby and I was constantly trying to keep his skin clear, while learning all the time what would set off an eczema flair up, more often by trial and error. I learned very quickly that detergent could make a huge difference on his skin, and so I opted for unscented products. It made our laundry rather unexciting (I love scented fabric softeners and more recently Downy Unstopables) but it worked.

He outgrew his skin issues and so we returned to our lovely scented products after his second birthday. Still, when my mommy-friends are dealing with skin issues that pop up (literally!) with their kids, the first defense I recommend is using an unscented detergent.

Tide is excited to announce the new Tide Pods Free & Gentle, a detergent free of dyes and perfumes. Now those of us that love Tide Pods can get Tide Free & Gentle in a Pod form, woot! Here are some tips from leading Canadian dermatologist Dr. Sandy Skotnicki to help soothe and prevent irritable skin:

– Avoid fragrances and or botanicals in your daily washing, soaps, detergents and moisturizers, as they can be both irritants and allergens. Test out a detergent like the new Tide Pods Free & Gentle. For people with sensitive skin seeking a detergent free of dyes and perfumes, Tide Pods Free & Gentle provides a deep clean that leaves behind no dyes or perfumes on fabrics, for gentleness on skin.
– Stick to non-foaming “soaps” in the shower. They do not strip the skin of its natural oils.
– Only shower or bath once a day. Water dries out the skin.
– Make sure that you keep bathing times to under 15 minutes and avoid using hot water.
– After bathing, pat dry. Rubbing your body with a towel will remove moisture and further dry out your skin.

Great tips to remember, parents! To celebrate the release of new Tide Pods Free & Gentle, we have a giveaway!
