The Essential Steps for Baby Care by Elma, Doctor of Pharmacy
Baby skin is particularly delicate and requires appropriate care. By avoiding harsh products, you can prevent irritation and keep your baby’s skin healthy. Here, as a pharmacist, I explain the essential steps for a routine adapted to the most sensitive skin.
Cleansing the skin
Bath time is an important moment for your baby’s cleanliness and relaxation, but it can also be harsh if the wrong products are used. Many soaps and cleansing products contain foaming agents (such as sulfate) that can often be irritating for sensitive skin. At Amour Tempête, we recommend avoiding products containing sulfates or other harsh substances. Our Baby cleanser is a soap-free cleanser! It is hypoallergenic thanks to a new generation of ultra-gentle cleansing base. With vegetable oils like plum oil and camelina oil, it cleanses without drying out the skin. Also, limit bath time to 5-10 minutes and use lukewarm water to avoid damaging your baby’s natural skin barrier.
After the bath, pay attention to the skin folds of your baby, especially around the neck, armpits, and thighs. These areas are often prone to moisture, sweating, and irritation. It’s essential to keep them clean and dry!
Nourishing the skin
After the bath, your baby’s skin can become dry. It’s important to nourish it immediately afterward to restore its elasticity, maintain its natural hydration, and provide comfort. At Amour Tempête, we recommend using a natural oil. The Amour Tempête Oil is made exclusively from four precious French vegetable oils. These oils are gentle and nourish the skin without leaving a greasy residue. They also contain no irritating agents, making them perfect for daily use. It’s also ideal for baby massages—an excellent way to bring comfort and well-being to your baby while caring for their skin.
Repairing the skin
Skin irritations such as redness, eczema, or small dry patches are common in babies and require special care to soothe and repair. At Amour Tempête, we recommend using a natural repair balm made from calendula, which helps calm inflammation and regenerate damaged skin. The Baby Balm Amour Tempête should be applied to irritated areas after each bath or as needed to promote rapid healing and protect the skin from external aggressors.
Taking care of your baby’s skin means making conscious product choices. Harsh soaps, especially those containing sulfates, can compromise the integrity of your baby’s sensitive skin by drying it out or causing irritation. By opting for natural, gentle alternatives that are fragrance-free and preservative-free, you’ll ensure your baby has soft, hydrated, and protected skin. A thoughtful and well-adapted skincare routine is key to avoiding skin issues and providing your child with optimal comfort.
