Dry skin - help!

Hi!

Just after some advice... My poor little boy has a rather nasty cold at the moment and the skin on his face has become really really dry. Is the Johnson Bab 24hr Moisture cream safe to use on their face? I do normally massage it into his body but haven't done his face...

Thanks

A tiny bit of Olive oil should do the trick....

I use sorbaline on my sons face when it gets a bit dry

I agree with Lucybelle, use olive oil!
(Steer clear of his eyes, of course!)

I have been warned off J&J products by midwives and my ECHN, especially for bubs with sensitive skin. Too many additives and perfumes.

sorbolene is good though I have also used paw paw ointment, and been recommended Gaia & moogoo products ... natural products with no additives or perfumes.

for bathing you may want to try QV bath oil .. or even some oatmeal in a bit of stocking.

all the best.

Hey Leisha,
Try Alpha Keri lotion, you can also get Alpha Keri Oil which I used in the bath when H was really little and had very dry skin. I still use the lotion on him if he has any dry sptos just use it at each nappy change that way you will remember. You can get both at the chemist.
