Here are some great tips to keep your baby's skin moisturized and itch free!
- Dry Skin/Eczema - Many times, dry skin is due to the skin’s inability to retain it’s moisture (water).
- A great way to replace moisture in the skin is to soak in a bath and then moisturize immediately afterward. This is popularly known as the “SOAK AND SEAL” method.
- Give your child a bath every day or every other day for 5-10 minutes in LUKEWARM water.
- After bathing, PAT the skin lightly with a towel leaving it slightly damp.
- After pat drying, liberally apply a moisturizer all over the body. Check out the great options in our eczema kit!
