Summer is more fun when enjoyed with our babies. Having fun and making memorable experiences are on top of our lists especially now that school is over. Finally, our kids can relax which means more time for playing, swimming, and staying under the sun.
Mommy Lace Skincare Summer Tips for Kids
While outings and adventures are exciting, top skincare concerns like kids rash or bungang araw and itchy skin that leads to scratching can make dampen our summer experience. We see these skin problems more often this time of the year. Our babies spend more time playing which means more perspiring, dehydration, and sun exposure.
- It’s important to moisturize – our favorite Belo Baby product is the Face and Body lotion. My son and I have been using this for a year now. It is also Belo Baby’s first birthday this March!Ever since, I realized how important it is to moisturize – yes even for kids!Our top concern back then was my son’s very dry legs. He would scratch and scratch and these result into minor wounds. Belo Baby’s body lotion solved this problem for us. It is 100% certified natural and has 0% chemicals.Now that it’s summer, the heat, swimming pool water with chlorine, and airconditioning can all dry up our baby’s skin.
- Moisturize right after bathing – lotions lock in moisture into the skin. So, it is important to put your kid’s lotion right after bathing while the skin is hydrated, supple, and soft. Baby lotions with cocoa butter, shea butter, and almond oil can do a great job at locking-in skin moisture and keep your baby’s skin soft and hydrated for longer.Bathing and putting on lotion is one of our favorite bonding moments. I really feel like I am taking care of my son’s skin when I do this. My son likes how Belo Baby is easily absorbed by the skin without leaving white patches and feeling greasy. It’s also perfect for our night time baby massage routine!
- Avoid long baths – while bath tubs, pools, etc. are so fun for our kids, too much of these can dry up their skin. When showering, don’t leave bath products like shampoo and body wash too long on your child’s skin. If your baby’s skin easily gets dry and irritated – go for body wash vs. soaps.
- Keep your lotion with you at all times – both kids and adults can get dry skin easily. It’s important to have access to a moisturizing lotion to stop dry skin on its tracks. Did you know? Dry skin is more prone to infection like pimples and summer boils. Dry skin literally creates cracks on the skin which allow bacteria and viruses to enter the skin and cause these problems.
