Olympian Suni Lee's surprising trick for clearer skin starts in the laundry room – and her method is only $22 from Amazon
Taking care of sensitive skin starts with proper laundry care, and Suni Lee's favorite detergent is the dermatologist-approved place to start
'Everyone probably thinks your skin care routine starts in the shower or in the bathroom, but your skin care routine can actually start in the laundry room. Think about it.' Suni Lee, Olympic Gold Medalist, says in a recent Instagram reel. Though it's a bold, surprising statement, it's absolutely true. Our towels, pillowcases, and sheets touch our faces every day. For those who deal with conditions like eczema, improperly washed clothing can exacerbate skin issues across the body.
So, what laundry tips does Lee use to ensure she's taking care of her skin starting in the laundry room? Her number one hack is using all® free clear laundry detergent brand. In the same Instagram post she states: 'If you don't already know, I've had sensitive skin since I was a little girl. It's kind of why I'm so hyper-focused on sharing all of my skin care and make up hacks with you all. With October being National Eczema Awareness Month, I have another skincare routine hack for you.' She continues to say that she's partnering with all® free clear to show the world a product that she's used her entire life.
Its gentle, non-irritating formula is what makes all® free clear laundry detergent a laundry room essential. Lee explains: 'Some heavy scents and dyes can irritate sensitive skin, like mine. I use all® free clear laundry detergent because it's 100% free of dyes and perfumes and it's actually the #1 detergent brand recommended by dermatologists for sensitive skin. So, think differently about your skin care routine, and don't forget, skincare can start in the laundry room.'
Lee's passion for the brand goes far beyond an interest in doing laundry. She states: 'Growing up in the gymnastics spotlight while dealing with sensitive skin made it tough to feel totally confident,' says Lee. 'In sharing my experience, I want to make people feel less isolated and encourage them to find their inner power–which starts with self-compassion, self-care and, yes, even laundry care! As a user of all® free clear laundry detergent, teaming up with the brand to inspire skin confidence is a full circle moment for me, and I look forward to bringing these conversations center stage.'

The Olympian isn't the only one who loves these products for doing laundry with sensitive skin. As she described, it's also a favorite among dermatologists. 'While everyone’s journey is different, the importance of avoiding products–including laundry detergents–that contain strong fragrances and dyes remains the same. That’s why I use all® free clear for my own family and recommend it to mypatients,' says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Lindsey Zubritsky of Lee's partnership with the brand.
