Frequently asked questions about baby skincare

What is the best skincare routine for babies?

A gentle routine should include cleansing with a mild baby wash, moisturizing with a fragrance-free lotion, and applying sunscreen (if outdoors). Always use baby-safe products free from harsh chemicals.

What is the best sunscreen for kids?

Choose a mineral-based sunscreen with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, SPF 30 or higher, and free from chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate.

How often should I bathe my baby?

Newborns only need 2-3 baths per week, as overbathing can strip natural oils. Once they start crawling, a daily quick wash is fine, but avoid harsh soaps.

How do I treat diaper rash quickly?

Apply a thick layer of zinc oxide cream, keep the area dry and breathable, and change diapers frequently. Letting your baby go diaper-free for some time helps.

What ingredients should I avoid in baby skincare products?

Avoid parabens, sulfates, phthalates, artificial fragrances, and alcohol. Look for hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested products instead.

How can I prevent dry skin in my child?

Use a fragrance-free moisturizer after every bath, avoid hot water baths, and dress them in soft, breathable fabrics. Hydration also helps!

My child has eczema—what products should I use?

Opt for eczema-friendly creams with ceramides, oat extract, or shea butter. Avoid products with artificial fragrances and dyes, and consult a pediatric dermatologist if severe.

Can I use essential oils on my baby’s skin?

Some essential oils (like lavender and chamomile) are safe when diluted, but others can be too strong. Always consult a doctor before using them on babies.

How do I treat insect bites and rashes on my child?

Apply calamine lotion, aloe vera gel, or hydrocortisone (if prescribed) to reduce itching. Keep their nails trimmed to prevent scratching.

What’s the best way to protect my child’s skin during winter?

Use a thick, fragrance-free moisturizer, keep their skin covered with soft fabrics, and use a humidifier at home to prevent dryness.
