Over a giant cup of mocha hazelnut coffee at Parc I got the low down today of how to cure your little ones dry skin for dermatologist that is about to launch her own all natural skin line. My oldest gets patches on his legs and arms so my Pediticrian prescribed a steroid. This worked in the beginning but has failed to be the long term answer. I asked our expert what I can do and this is what she told me:
She said that steroid that I am putting on my little one is all wrong. First start with A&D ointment which can be found in your local CVS or Grocery store.
Once you get a handle on the situation Aveeno Baby products are what she recommends for keeping the dry skin blues from coming back. I threw a bunch of Aveeno products in my shopping cart at the grocery store tonight from the calming bath soak to the eczema therapy lotions. The boys and I are all stocked up and will be ready to show off our baby smooth skin by the time we hit the beach.
P.S. The little secret I can't wait to try: She also recommended taking regular oatmeal, putting it a pair of stocking and using that as a little scrub brush in the bath. Works miracles she said.
