It is normal to have questions about newborn baby’s skin care when the weather is changing. The cold and dry air of winters can easily dry out your baby’s soft and gentle skin. And just like yours their skin also demands some extra care during winters.
What Products to Use or Avoid?
There are many commercial products in the market that cater to baby’s skincare needs. But being a parent, it can be overwhelming for you to decide which products to use and which ones to avoid. Here is a list of products that you should consider using to keep the baby’s skin clean, soft and moisturized during winters. We’ve also described the benefits, ingredients to look for in these products.
Baby Wash
To minimize the dryness after bath, it is essential to use a Baby Wash which is soap free and has essential oils. The Moms Co. Natural Baby Wash for example, is made of toxin-free natural ingredients and is safe to use on baby’s skin. It also has coconut-based cleansers that gently clean and keep the baby’s skin soft and moisturised.
Baby Lotion
A baby lotion with natural ingredients is usually safe for a baby’s soft and delicate skin. The Moms Co. Natural Baby Lotion not only keeps the baby’s skin nourished but also protects it against skin dryness and inflammation. It has natural ingredients like Apricot Oil, Jojoba Oil, Rice Bran Oil among others, that provide deep nourishment and protection to the baby’s delicate skin.
Regular use of baby lotion moisturizes the skin, keeps it soft and replenishes the skin’s natural pH balance.
Baby Face Cream
Face Cream for babies is an essential part of the post-bath or sponge routine as it prevents skin dryness and helps retain skin softness. Face creams with natural ingredients like Shea and Cocoa butter are recommended because they provide long lasting moisturisation and are mild, gentle and safe for a baby’s skin. The Moms Co, Natural Baby Face Cream is free of harmful chemicals like parabens or sulphates and is made of natural ingredients that nourish the baby’s skin and help restore the skin’s natural pH balance.
Massage Oil for Baby
Massaging has a significant role to play in a newborn’s skincare regime. It not only strengthens the bones and muscles of the baby but also calms and soothes the baby senses. Pick a massage oil for your baby that has no toxins and harsh chemicals. But before choosing a massage oil, take note that the oil must have natural ingredients like Almonds, Sesame, Jojoba, Vitamin E etc. to provide best skin care during winters.
Hair Oil for Baby
Though some babies are born totally bald while others have a full head of hair, in either of the cases, hair care is vital to keep the scalp free from dryness or irritation. A dry and itchy scalp can lead to cradle-cap. In order to prevent this unwanted scalp condition, we recommend using The Moms Co. Natural Hair Oil This product is made with natural herbs and ingredients like Amla, Bhringraj, and Argan oil. Just a light massage on your baby’s head will strengthen your baby’s hair and promote hair growth.
Picking up the right products for a baby can be challenging sometimes, but proper knowledge of the ingredients and the requirements can sort out the problem.
