LOVELA Baby for Colour Laundry 2.9l (32 Washings)

To wash a child's clothes and bed linen, you should use special washing powders and detergents with fewer surfactants, such as Lovela Baby. These products are hypoallergenic, meaning they do not contain substances that can irritate a baby's sensitive skin. Available products for children should have a positive endorsement on the label from the Institute of Mother and Child or the Children's Health Centre. Toddlers' clothes should be washed in detergents designed for children during their first year of life, and in special cases where close relatives or children have allergic reactions, up to the age of 3.

The basis of treating skin with psoriasis is proper care, combined with the use of moisturising and emollient products, as well as avoiding factors that worsen the symptoms of the disease. Appropriately selected baby care products will certainly not replace treatment, but they help to alleviate the symptoms of the disease and improve the quality of life. For patients with psoriasis, both cosmetics and cleaning products must meet very strict criteria. They must be preparations that do not cause any irritation, are hypoallergenic, have a lower amount of detergents, and are free of fragrances, optical brighteners, and chemicals. Lovela Baby undoubtedly meets these criteria, so washing clothes for people with psoriasis in Lovela Baby products can reduce skin irritation in a child and thus help in the care of sensitive skin.

The clothes of newborns, infants, and young children, due to the special requirements of their skin, should be washed in specially designed fabric softeners or washing powders, such as Lovela Baby. These products do not contain enzymes or optical brighteners, while the amount of cleaning agents and fragrances has been kept to a minimum in accordance with the requirements of the Institute of Mother and Child. This is all to ensure the powder or detergent is hypoallergenic, meaning it does not irritate or cause allergies. Lovela Baby undoubtedly has all these advantages and is also one of the most frequently used products by new mothers. However, it can happen that even the most hypoallergenic product causes an allergic reaction. We then speak of an individual susceptibility. Often, the powder itself is not to blame for skin irritation, but improper washing (insufficient rinsing or adding too much detergent), which can cause remaining powder residues on clothes to irritate the baby's skin. Therefore, always use laundry detergents according to the manufacturer's instructions.

A baby's skin is extremely sensitive and requires special treatment. The areas in contact with a nappy require particular attention because they remain in contact with urine and faeces, which exposes them to irritation. Improper care of the bottom can lead to nappy rash, which is very painful and quite difficult to treat. Therefore, following the principle that prevention is better than cure, observe a few rules:

• Regardless of whether you use reusable or disposable nappies, change them frequently, and in the case of reusable nappies, change them after every urination.
• For washing baby clothes, especially nappies, use products for children, such as Lovela Baby, whose formula has been developed for sensitive skin. This will prevent irritation and reduce its occurrence.
• If you use disposable nappies, choose those with an 'air' function and do not fasten them too tightly to ensure air circulation.
• Every time you change a nappy, wash the bottom with wet wipes, cotton wool or soapy water, then dry it well.
• Let your baby lie with a bare bottom for a while before putting on a nappy; the skin needs ventilation.
• At every nappy change, apply a protective cream or oil-based ointment to the toddler's bottom.
• If nappy rash appears, apply a healing ointment with lanolin or zinc. If this does not help and the skin redness increases, with follicular eczema and discharge also appearing, it is necessary to see a paediatrician, probably because a superinfection has occurred.

• All clothes bought for a baby must be washed and ironed.
• Wash in detergents for children that have a positive endorsement from the Institute of Mother and Child, such as Lovela Baby.
• Make sure the laundry is well rinsed, preferably twice.
• Initially, do not use fabric softener, which is added to the final rinse and unfortunately remains in the fabric, so it can irritate the skin.
• Check the washing temperature indicated on the label so as not to ruin the clothes.
• Most bacteria are killed at 60°C, so there is no need to 'boil' baby clothes.
