the
smart choice for your baby's skin - organic baby skin careTreating
your infant with organic baby skin care products will greatly
contribute the overall comfort and health of your little one in
general. After all, the skin the largest organ of the body. And nothing
is more precious than your baby’s skin.
Taking
some time to look into organic baby skin care products and cleaning
techniques is well worth your time. And if you don’t have the time? Hopefully by sharing with you
what I have found will take some of the guess work out of it for you.
Many
parents assume that cleaning a baby’s skin often is important. They
want to make sure their baby is free of bacteria and toxins. But they
fail to consider the toxins that many non-organic products introduce. Studies show that ¾ of babies suffer from rashes
within the first few months after they are born, and that the same
products that claim to clean and moisturize the skin are often the
contributing factors. Add to this that an infants skin
absorbs better than adult skin, and you can begin to see the scope of
the problems caused by chemicals in typical baby skin care products. |
One of the smartest choices you can make for
your baby’s skin is to avoid “drug store” baby products. Instead, make
a conscious decision to go with organic baby skin care products. Many
parents also clean their baby’s skin too often. Most
newborns are bathed 4-5 times a week, and
are shampooed about every other day. Contrary to what may seem like
common sense, this isn’t necessary. A baby’s skin is slower to mature
and doesn’t need to be cleaned as often as adult skin. During the first
year, limit most bathing to warm water only; occasionally adding a
little organic natural baby soap, such as Aubrey Organics Natural Baby Bath Soap. I
recommend the full Aubrey
skin care line for both babies and adults. 
After
bathing with soap, you will want to
replace the natural oils in your baby’s skin with a soothing lotion or
oil, such as this one, again from Aubrey,
that
restores natural moisture balance and soothes babies' skin with evening
primrose and organic aloe.
