WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING A BABY OIL?
Many of times, we want our baby's skin to be smooth and soft but fact is, it tends to get dry and sensitive easily. Thus, it is crucial to include creams, lotions and oils that are gentle yet effective to deliver long-lasting moisture and prevent future irritation.
Some also aid in treating eczema, itch, redness and rash (which are common skin concerns that babies are prone to so you don't have to worry too much when this happens!).
Moreover, the skin on our (yes, babies and toddlers included) body is said to have lesser sebaceous glands than that of the skin on our faces, and so, it is more susceptible to dryness, flakiness and irritation.
To make things worse, our hot and humid weather tends to damage our skin barrier easily. When this occurs, our skin is weaker, less resilient and is unable to properly defend and protect itself from harmful external aggressors, leading to sensitivity and irritation.
Therefore, incorporating a proper body care regime for your babies and kids is so important to maintain smooth, soft and well-hydrated skin.

- Eczema-Friendly: Hydrogen water (no, not just any type of normal water) balances the skin's pH levels. It is extremely important to ensure skin's pH levels are at its optimum for it to better function, absorb and take in the active ingredients for more pronounced results. This is thus, especially ideal for the treatment and prevention of eczema flare-ups in babies and toddlers.
