A baby’s skin is much thinner than that of adults and more vulnerable to environmental factors. To protect this delicate structure, it is important to establish a care routine supported by simple, clean, and nature-friendly ingredients. Every step taken to prevent or ease dryness, redness, or diaper rash directly contributes to your baby’s comfort.
In this post, you will be able to find more information on this, and check out some basic skin care tips for babies and toddlers:
Why Is Baby Skin So Sensitive?
The skin barrier of newborns is not yet fully developed. This makes them more prone to both moisture loss and external irritants. The content of cleansing and care products used during this period has a direct impact on skin health. Therefore, certified organic, additive-free products should always be the first choice.
1. Instant Soothing Effect
When sudden dryness, redness, or irritation occurs, a versatile and reliable formula is needed.
My Oh My! Naturals Better Than Mommy's Kiss S.O.S Balm instantly soothes, nourishes, and forms a protective layer with organic St. John’s wort oil, organic calendula oil, organic lavender essential oil, and organic tea tree essential oil. It can be applied daily to sensitive areas such as the diaper region, elbows, cheeks, or knees. It also offers versatile use, such as nipple care for breastfeeding mothers.
2. Intense Moisture and Protection
When long-lasting moisture retention is needed, a rich, oil-based product is ideal.
My Oh My! Naturals Organic Body Butter, enriched with organic cocoa butter, organic shea butter, coconut oil, and oat extract, deeply moisturizes the skin while improving elasticity. It creates a protective barrier against dryness-triggering factors such as cold weather, air conditioning, wind, sun, and hard water. Applied all over the body after bath time, it leaves baby’s skin silky soft.
3. Light Daily Moisturizing
On days when rich products are not necessary, a lightweight, fast-absorbing moisturizer completes the skincare routine.
My Oh My! Naturals Lilac Clouds Body Lotion, formulated with organic lavender hydrosol, organic calendula oil, squalane, oat extract, organic lavender essential oil, and organic blue chamomile essential oil, keeps the skin hydrated throughout the day. With its vegan, cruelty-free, and paraben-free formula, it is an ideal daily care solution for both babies and adults. It provides natural softness without leaving a greasy feeling.
4. Surfaces That Come into Contact Also Matter
Skin health is not only about the products applied but also about everything that touches the skin. Your baby’s clothes, sheets, and towels should be washed with chemical-free detergents, and breathable fabrics like cotton and bamboo should be preferred whenever possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Finally, let’s take a look at some popular questions for children’s skin care:
Why is my baby’s skin always dry?
Because the skin barrier is not yet fully matured, babies lose moisture easily. Regular moisturizing and natural skincare help balance this process.
Can I use My Oh My! Naturals Better Than Mommy's Kiss S.O.S. Balm every day?
Yes. Daily use is recommended, especially on areas prone to irritation or dryness. Natural formulations are safe for this purpose.
What care is recommended for eczema-prone skin?
Fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, plant-based balms and oils should be used. Clean formulations that support the skin barrier are the best choice.
These should cover an important part of your childrens’ daily skin care. Of course, for special conditions and sensitivities, it is always recommended to speak to an expert.
