Baby, It's Cold Outside!
Winter Skin Care for Mom and Baby
By Belinda Clarke
offers a line of natural skin care solutions that uses no artificial colors or animal by-products. It's also hypoallergenic and biodegradable. The Little Forest Daily Botanicals line includes a variety of baby cleansing and moisturizing products. The Daily Baby Lotion is light and fast absorbing and contains aloe vera, chamomile, evening primrose oil and vitamins A, D, and E. For infants with minor skincare ailments, Little Forest developed three specific body care treatments as part of the company's Therapeutic Botanicals line. Using Australian Tea Tree Oil, the line contains treatments for cradle cap, minor skin irritations (such as eczema and sunburn) and diaper rash.
For Mom
During the winter months, when the threat of colds and the flu are heightened, it's important to wash your hands frequently. While this reduces the chance of picking up and spreading germs, it promotes dry, cracked hands.
For dry hands, many people swear by Neutrogena's Norwegian Hand Cream, found in drugstores, which was designed to be strong enough to keep Norwegian fishermen's hands from getting chapped. This formula uses concentrated levels of glycerin to keep hands soft in the dead of winter and it goes a long way, because you only need to use a tiny dab each time.
Another great option is Kiehl's Vitamin A, D& E Ointment, which contains avocado, sesame, sweet almond and wheat germ oils. It's thick, long lasting and great for soothing chapped, cracked hands and other extra-dry body parts, such as elbows and feet.
Neal's Yard Remedies, a natural skin care company started as an apothecary in Covent Garden, London, produces an Elderflower Hand Softener that works great. Containing almond oil, sunflower oil and cocoa butter, this thick cream absorbs right away and has a deep woodsy elderflower scent.
