In just a few weeks, I will be meeting my twins. Honestly, there’s still a part of me that find it amusing. On top of that, the fact last time that I gave birth was almost 7 years ago, I find myself scratching my head, trying to remember everything we did back then/
So it was very timely that Cetaphil Baby launched their newest campaign called Mommy Dialogues, where moms basically help other moms with their stories about their kids, how to provide them with healthy food, a fun playtime proper good night’s sleep and healthy skin.
During the event, they invited pedia-derma, Dr. Rescober, who is also a mom, to talk about baby’s skin. As we all know, babies have delicate skin so it’s very important for us to use the right products that will give their skin the healthy start it deserves.
Here’s a slide discussing the difference of an adult and baby’s skin.
It simply shows that we really can’t use adult’s product for our babies because they have different skin type and different needs from us. By using wrong products, it will prevent a good skin barrier for the babies and in turn may cause itch, increased penetration of irritants and microbes and also allergen exposure and may also cause persistent dry skin.
Some key ingredients to look out for when buying skin care for our babies are Panthenol, Glycerin, Tocopherol and Emollient such as sunflower seed oil to enhance the skin barrier and maintain it.
I truly enjoyed learning more about babies’ skin since I have a 6 year old and will be dealing with newborns soon. It’s a good refresher for me.
Cetaphil Baby also invited some celebrity moms to share some tips and stories.
Here’s Andi Manzano-Reyes with her eldest daughter Olivia.
One tip that I chose is to take it easy and give yourself a break. Being a mom is a crazy job and sometimes, we are so hard on ourselves. Well, breathe in and out. It’s okay not to be perfect all the time.
It was also good to her from Frances Ang who also has a set of twins. She emphasized that being healthy also means being mentally and emotionally healthy, and not just physical.
Cetaphil Baby is a healthy line that baby skin deserves as it gives your baby’s sensitive skin the gentle care it needs to stay healthy.
