Which baby skincare products do you really need?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Quite simple: the entire Petit&Jolie range, right? Or perhaps not?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Looking at the shelves in the shops, you could almost think you need a full skincare routine to look after your baby\u2019s skin properly. But don\u2019t be misled: all those different products are not necessary at all. Your baby\u2019s skin simply doesn\u2019t need much to stay healthy and supple.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why are there so many different baby care products on the market?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Part of the range has been developed to tackle specific skin problems, such as dry skin, eczema or nappy rash. In those situations, certain care products can be very helpful.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But let\u2019s be honest: another part of the huge range is certainly down to marketing. More and more products and care routines are being dreamt up, whereas for your baby\u2019s daily care you often only need a few basics.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Which baby skincare products do we recommend for babies aged 0 to 6 months?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

At Petit&Jolie, we believe that skin is very capable of looking after itself. Especially in babies under 6 months, the skin is still developing. It is therefore important to disturb this natural development as little as possible and not to burden the skin unnecessarily with all kinds of products.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of course, you do want to cleanse the skin from time to time. In principle, lukewarm water is enough for this. We also recommend using bath oil<\/a> now and then. Water can dry out the skin, whereas bath oil helps to prevent this. Bath oil also leaves the skin soft and supple.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Baby shampoo isn\u2019t needed in the first few months. Shampoo contains cleansing ingredients based on a degreaser, which can also strip away the skin\u2019s natural oils and cause dryness. Young babies also spend most of the day lying down and don\u2019t really get dirty yet, so using shampoo during this period is usually unnecessary.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alongside bath oil, it is handy to have a product for your baby\u2019s bottom in the house, for example for nappy rash. Think of nappy cream<\/a>, healing wool<\/a> or calendula balm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In short: for the daily care of your baby from 0 to 6 months, you basically need just two baby care products: a bath oil and a product for the bottom.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Besides bath oil and nappy cream, massage oil is a lovely extra. Whether you need it depends entirely on whether you want to massage your baby. As you may know, we at Petit&Jolie are great advocates of baby massage. It is wonderful for your little one, but certainly not a must!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Which care products do we recommend for babies and children from 6 months?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

As soon as your little one starts crawling around the room and the garden, they naturally pick up more dirt than when they were mostly lying down. They will also start eating a wider variety of foods alongside breast or bottle milk. And before you know it, there\u2019s pasta sauce in places where it really doesn\u2019t belong!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At that point, it\u2019s nice to be able to wash your little one with a (baby) shampoo. This can be a liquid shampoo<\/a>, but also a shampoo bar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From 6 months, babies may also be more prone to dry skin or dry patches, for example on the cheeks. A rich cream that is suitable for both face and body is then very handy to have in the house.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of course, bath oil and nappy cream remain useful basics from 6 months onwards too.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In short: for babies from 6 months, bath oil and nappy cream remain good basics. Depending on your little one\u2019s needs, you can add a (baby) shampoo and a rich cream.<\/strong><\/p>\n
