Dry skin in babies is very common because baby skin is more delicate than adult skin and can be more susceptible to becoming dry.
Seeing their child experiencing tight and uncomfortable dry skin can be a concern for parents, especially when dry skin is affecting their child’s happiness and instinctively, parents want to soothe the dry skin and help make baby more comfortable.
New Oilatum Daily Junior lotion is specially formulated to moisturise dry skin and is clinically proven to reduce the occurrence of dry skin by leaving a thin layer of mineral oil on the surface which gently seals in moisture and improves skin hydration.
It contains a blend of mineral oils and moisturising ingredients like shea butter, which nourish and rehydrate the skin. Dermatologist tested, it’s gentle and effective formula is PH balanced, colour-free and clinically proven to gently and effectively soothe dry young skin whilst protecting it from further dryness. It is suitable for use from birth.
I was sent some Oilatum Daily Junior to try on Sebastian.
Sebastian suffered from dry skin quite badly as a young baby but seems to be growing out of it now, although the skin on his knees is very dry as he is constantly crawling around.
Bathtime is daily routine in our house and I always follow it up with a massage afterwards to prevent his dry skin returning.
I found the formulation to be quite thick and a little does go a long way. It does massage into the skin well and is fragrance free.
Since using the cream we have had no instances of dry skin or nappy rash, which I have been expecting as he is a teething monster at the moment. The bottle also adds as a distraction to get him to keep still too and I am confident that the lid is secure enough that he can’t open it…….yet.
If your child suffers from dry skin, I would definitely recommend you try Oilatum Daily Junior which is available from Boots, Asda and other pharmacies.
