As individuals with unblemished and porcelain-like skin, babies have a reputation to uphold. Their flawless skin has more to do with an amazing routine and organic skincare products than natural baby chemistry.

Follow this Beauty Organic Store guide to ensure your baby’s skin remains nice and smooth.

Protect Them from the Sun

While your baby needs vitamin D, it better be through indirect, not direct, sunlight. When out and about, cover their skin in a sun protection organic body lotion and:

Don’t stay out for too long.

Keep them in shade.

Cover their face, neck, and ears with a hat.

Cover their arms and legs with light clothing.

Avoid going out between 10 am and 4 pm.

Address Dry Patches

Dry patches during the first year are pretty normal. They aren’t anything to worry about and may even go away on their own. However, if these patches persist and start worsening with time, you might want to address them with an organic body lotion for dry skin that doesn’t have perfume or similar irritants.

We recommend the above products because using natural plants and oils as moisturizers might exacerbate their skin condition. Thus, it’s better to use store-bought products on their sensitive skin.

Bathe Every Other Day

Instead of giving your baby a daily bath, bathe them every other day and be sure to follow these steps to avoid dry, irritated skin.

Use lukewarm water, testing it with your elbow.

Ensure the room is warm but not overly so.

Set a timer for 10 minutes, the maximum time for a baby bath.

Switch to a fragrance-free soap for their hair and body.

Don’t apply soap to your baby’s face; stick to water.

Ensure they’re dry before putting any clothing on.

Watch Out for Heat Rashes

Heat rashes are little red spots that appear where the skin rubs against skin and clothing. It’s caused by overheating from friction, blocking the sweat glands, and leading to a rash. If you notice these red spots, start dressing your baby in lighter, gentler clothes and avoid using oil-based products for the time being.

You can also rub the affected area with a damp washcloth to ease irritation and if it doesn’t go away after three days, call a doctor to take proactive measures.

Keep Away from Common Irritants

Certain irritants, such as scented soaps, detergents, lotions, makeup, dyes, latex, and saliva, can cause an allergic reaction in babies, causing redness, swelling, and cracked skin. Keep them away from these products to avoid contact dermatitis.

If they end up catching it anyway, talk to a doctor and follow these instructions until the symptoms go away:

Dress them in light, loose-fitting clothing.

Steer clear of scented skincare products.

Bathe them daily in lukewarm water.
