Choosing The Right Baby Massage Oil For Baby’s Dry Skin

It’s best to massage your baby before you bathe baby, during the morning or at night before bedtime using a mild body wash. Here are a few tips before you pick a baby massage oil for dry skin.

1. Pick a baby oil which is free from harmful chemicals like paraben, synthetic colour, preservatives, and mineral oil as they may cause adverse effects such as skin rashes and irritation. 

2. Avoid using thick massage oil in hot and humid weather, as the same may clog the pores of the skin, trapping dust and dirt. Hence, there will be more harmful to your baby’s dry skin.

3. Pick an oil with moisturising properties, which will start to work when it is absorbed into the baby’s skin such as almond oil.

4. Avoid using essential oils directly on the skin, dilute them with a carrier oil. However, check with the doctor before you try combining any essential oil with a carrier oil.

5. The list of natural plant oils must include both vegetable and essential oils. BabyChakra’s massage oil has a combination of these both. 

6. The oil should have a mild fragrance and be free from synthetic fragrances as they can irritate the baby’s dry skin.

Consider these tips before picking a baby massage oil for your baby’s dry skin.
