Choosing a moisturizer in baby atopic skin care is one of the most important steps to support the skin barrier and reduce itching from dryness.
Basic principles:
- Fragrance-free and unscented products should be preferred. Fragrances can cause irritation in atopic skin.
- Thick consistency moisturizers (cream or ointment form) are more effective than lotions because they better prevent water loss.
- Having ceramides, squalane, shea butter and other ingredients that support the skin barrier in the formula is beneficial.
- Formulas without parabens, alcohol, SLES/SLS are more suitable for atopic skin.
Application recommendation:
- Should be applied to the whole body generously at least twice a day (definitely after bathing).
- Applying it while the skin is still slightly moist after bathing helps seal in moisture.
Which brand works well for your baby's skin depends on individual tolerance. If a moisturizer you're using causes redness or irritation, trying an alternative product and consulting your pediatrician would be the right approach.
