Moisturize every day!

An un skippable part of the everyday routine is to moisturize your baby’s skin. Some of key things to look in skin moisturizers is if they are made of naturally derived ingredients, those that have the goodness of aloe vera or orange, or other natural peel extracts. Baby body lotion should have the right pH balance and should be smooth on baby skin. You can also pick those that are milk-like or silky in texture that helps glide through the baby’s skin.

Zero paraben, toxins, and fragrance are also some things to look for. When you choose the right organic baby skincare lotion, nothing can go wrong with your baby’s winter skincare routine. Also, check for baby lotions online that stays for 12-24 hours to ensure round-the-clock protection for your baby skin.

Don’t forget the sun protection even in winters

A common misconception is to apply sunscreen only during summers or while outdoors. In reality, though the winter sun is mild, it still has sun rays seeping into our body that is not healthy for babies especially those under the age of three. Buy sunscreen lotions online that have a minimum SPF of 30. Sunscreen lotions with triple protection that have UVA/UVB-Filter and Vitamin E are better for baby skin. Look out for Natural Inulin and Lecithin. Inulin is derived from soybean, eggs, and sunflower oil, while Lecithin is extracted from chicory root. These ingredients offer maximum hydration! Quick Tip: Look for eco-friendly sunscreen lotions online that are non-greasy and leave out no white residue on the skin when applied.

Massage oils for winter

It is okay for babies to skip their everyday bath schedule during winters since bathing can increase moisture loss from the skin. Prepare lukewarm water and short baths instead of the usual long ones and gently pat them dry with a towel to lock in the moisture. It is also a best practice to apply a moisturizing lotion right after the bath. Protect your baby’s skin from flakiness and dryness with gentle massages using dedicated oils rich in antioxidants and vitamins. Look for baby massage oils online that have natural ingredients. The baby oil should be free of phthalates, parabens, and petroleum jelly. Such oils lock the body moisture and enhance skin texture. Also gently pull your baby’s hands and feet as you massage for better relaxation.
