Cotton Double Duvet Cover, Body Wash And Clothes Conditioner: What Is Causing Your Sore Skin?

Do you have sore red skin that can be itchy at times? There are some changes you can make in everyday life which could reduce this itchiness. Your washing powder might be to blame, especially if the itching started after you switched brand. Alternatively, your bed covers could be causing you irritation because of the manmade materials used in modern bed linen. Or, you might need to switch your shampoo, conditioner or shower gel, as these can also cause allergic reactions which can lead to sore skin.

Changing your washing powder can affect us as our skin might not be used to the ingredients in the new product we use. You might experience a red rash and itching when you use towels or put on clothes that have been washed in the brand. If this has happened to you, try switching back to your old brand or try another alternative.

Your sheets can do more damage to your skin and hair than you might think. Sleeping on poor quality bed linen can cause skin irritation as well as ageing and mild hair loss. 100% cotton or silk sheets will stop the irritation a great deal. You are less likely to experience rubbing and pulling of the skin whilst in bed with these materials. These materials are used in sheets of all sizes and for a double duvet cover set you are looking at prices starting from as little as £10.

You might have read about serious reactions to hair dyes and shampoos in magazines. These extreme cases are rare, however reactions to shower gels and shampoos are common, with varying results. Both natural and synthetic ingredients in your bath/shower products can cause reactions, you need to find a product that suits your skin.

Your doctor will be able to identify the cause of your skin irritation if it continues once you have changed all these things mentioned above.
