How to keep you baby's skin soft, moisturised and healthy every day!

Today, one in every four or five babies and toddlers suffer from dry skin. This makes them prone to more serious skin conditions such as eczema. Since their skin is more delicate than adults' skin, it is important to know the ins and outs of skin care for them.

There are so many factors that can contribute to your baby's skin becoming dry and flakey. lets look at some of those factors:

• When your baby was born, he/she is initially covered in a slippery coat of amniotic fluid. During the first several days, his/her skin may still not be used to such a dry environment and develop patches of dry skin and redness. Dryness in the air, such as during winter and inside heated homes, can also strip his/her skin of moisture.

• Soap and sulphate baby washes strip your baby's skin of its natural oils and make it suseptable to eczemas and skin irritations

• Summer is also a time for swimming in the pool and the ocean, especially for active toddlers. The salt and chlorine have drying effects on the skin and can cause rashes.

The news is not all bad! mahu has safe, easy solution for you.
