Thanks for your input everyone, I really appreciate it! Our washing machine is arriving today (until now we've been using a laundrette), so I will definitely try the extra rinses and reducing the amount of powder used.

I will ill also keen an eye on other things, I.e is it worse outside or inside, using sun cream etc. it's very hard to isolate what you're reacting to when your whole life has changed.

Hi,

I've been in Sydney for 2 months now and mostly loving it... apart from 1 thing! I am prone to small amounts of eczema/sensitive skin and since I moved here it's been worse. I am pretty sure I've narrowed it down to the washing powder. Even when using the hypoallergenic versions my face/eyes still react. I never had this problem with washing powder in the UK, so thinking of trying to import/buy some British washing powder. Does anyone have any advice on where I might be able to get hold if this, that's not too expensive?

Has anyone suffered from the same thing and has any other advice on treating?

Thanks in advance
