Is your little baby’s skin prone to dryness? Are you worried how to keep his sensitive skin well-moisturized? Then, the following home remedies will come as great relief to you as well as your little one. However, taking necessary precautions are a must when trying anything new for babies. It is therefore advised to go for a patch test first, in order to check whether the ingredients being used suit the child’s skin or not.
Remedy 1- Cocunut Oil/Almond Oil Massage
Coconut oil deep nourishes the child’s supple skin and helps keep it moisturized. Massage improves the blood flow. You may alternatively use almond oil. Make sure, you use an unfabricated one because the fragrant ones can cause itching and irritation.
Remedy 2- Avocado/Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera and Avocado are both known for their moisturizing features. So all you have to do is mash avocodo and massage it over the dry skin. Let it be for 10 minutes and then wash. Similarly, take an aloe vera leaf, slice it and take some gel and apply it on the dried patches. You don’t necessarily have to wash it off.
