Dry Skin

My 2 months old daughter has recently developed some dry patches on her cheeks and forehead. Her pediatrician said not to put lotion on her face at this point, and we’ve been careful not to use soap when we bathe her (unless she’s really messy–spit up, poop, etc.). Her cheeks have been really chapped, and although it doesn’t seem to bother her, it bothers ME! After doing some research, I found a product called Johnson’s Soothing Naturals Soothe & Protect Balm. It kind of looks like mini deodorant. You rub it on the dry/chapped areas, and it works to moisturize without being oily and gross. After a couple days of putting it on her at night before bed, her face isn’t dry anymore! This stuff is amazing! It smells really yummy too.
There is a whole line of Johnson’s Soothing Naturals, including lotion, soap, etc. We’ve only used this stuff so far, but it has worked wonders!
