While keeping your baby well-fed and nourished tops the list of caring for your newborn, it is also extremely crucial to take care of your baby’s skin. Be it spring, summer, monsoon, fall or winter, a newborn baby's skin is extremely tender and delicate and is bound to get dry due to environmental changes now and then. Failing to take proper care of the skin often makes the baby vulnerable to sudden temperature changes, rashes, and allergies due to chemicals or allergens present in the diapers, creams, lotions or detergents that are used to clean the baby clothes.
While the good news is the baby's skin keeps on changing through the growing years, to ensure that they stay healthy, nourished and moisturized throughout the day, you must use hypoallergenic, aroma-free, mild skincare products that will not induce any allergic reactions. And much to the solace of new parents, both online and offline stores are flooded with new and improved skincare products to choose from, to ensure the optimum health of your little one’s skin.
Worry not, if you are a first-time parent and haven’t figured out yet what skincare essentials to buy for your baby.
We bring you a list of skincare essentials that are a must-have for your little one.
