Skin care for mother and baby in winter
Winter is a very beautiful time of year. The cooler weather is a great excuse to enjoy hot baths, cups of cocoa and cuddles on the couch – however, not everything is so pretty, as the cold can wreak havoc on our skin. With its dry air, temperature fluctuations and harsh conditions, winter can cause our skin to become severely stressed. The impact can be even greater for babies, who have especially delicate skin (did you know that a baby's skin is about 30% thinner than yours, so it's more prone to moisture loss?) There is no There is no doubt that winter is a time when we have to give our skin extra care. There are several ways to nourish your skin and that of your baby naturally and safely. Here are our top winter skin tips for mom and baby:
- Moisturize, hydrate, hydrate!
Dry skin is common in winter. Effects can range from a tight, uncomfortable feeling to more severe cracking. For babies (and some adults) eczema is also common. To combat dry skin, use a quality body lotion every day. Applying lotion directly after your baby's bath (to slightly damp skin) will help create a protective layer on the skin, locking in moisture and protecting the skin from the environment. We recommend our Moisture lotion, its formula is enriched with sweet almond oil, argan oil and calendula extract. Our cream is healthy for babies and children, calms redness and irritation.
- Avoid soap and harsh detergents
Some baby body washes include harsh detergents (including sulfates) to create lather and bubbles. These detergents, however, can strip the skin of its natural essential oils – the last thing you need during the winter! When you bathe your baby, choose a soap that is free of sulfates. Our gentle Bath Wash contains “Aloe vera” which has dermoprotective, moisturizing and regenerating actions, providing elasticity to the baby's skin, and “Glycerin”, known for its ability to absorb moisture and maintain balanced hydration in the skin and hair. . This soap can also be used by older children.
- Enjoy the massage with your baby
Massage is a wonderful way to bond with your baby and calm him or her before sleep. But it can also have positive benefits for the skin. Massage is a wonderful way to provide the skin with nutrients and keep it cared for throughout the winter, since by massaging the skin, the nutrients penetrate more easily, acting more effectively and leaving a feeling of softness and relaxation.
We hope that these 3 tips help you have well-cared skin this winter!!
