What cosmetics and care does a baby need in autumn?

Autumn brings cooler temperatures, dry air and changeable weather, which can put a lot of strain on your baby's sensitive skin. Baby's skin is particularly delicate and sensitive, which is why it needs special attention in the colder season. In this blog, you will find out which cosmetics and care products you should use in autumn to protect and care for your baby's skin.

1. Moisturizing care

In autumn, babies' skin tends to dry out due to cool air and heated rooms. To prevent dryness and redness, you should use moisturizing care products:

• Gentle baby creams or lotions: Creams with natural ingredients such as shea butter, almond oil or jojoba oil help to keep the skin supple. These ingredients moisturize and soothe irritated skin.
• Care for face and hands: Since the baby's face and hands are particularly exposed to cold air, a special wind and weather cream is a good idea. This forms a protective barrier against wind and cold and protects the skin from drying out.

2. Diaper rash cream

Even in autumn, the diaper area remains sensitive and prone to irritation. Moisture can evaporate more slowly in cooler weather, which increases the risk of diaper rash. A good diaper rash cream that contains zinc oxide protects against irritation and keeps the skin dry and cared for.

3. Lip care for babies

Your baby's lips can also become chapped in the fall. Lip care products based on natural oils such as coconut or olive oil can be applied to the lips to prevent dryness. Make sure to only use safe, fragrance-free products, as babies often lick their lips.

4. Reduce bathing time

In autumn, it is a good idea to shorten the bathing time and not bathe the baby every day, as frequent bathing can dry out the skin even more. Use mild, pH-neutral washing lotions or bath additives that have been specially developed for sensitive baby skin. A weekly oil bath can help to care for the baby's skin and keep it soft.

5. Don't forget sun protection

Sun protection should not be neglected in autumn either, especially on sunny days. UV radiation can damage sensitive baby skin despite cool temperatures. A sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF 30 or higher) is particularly important if you spend a lot of time outdoors.

6. Special care for rough and cracked skin

If you already notice rough or cracked areas, such as on the cheeks or hands, you can use special intensive care products. Baby balm or wound and healing ointments with marigold or panthenol promote healing and relieve inflammation.

7. Warm bath with nourishing additives

In cool temperatures, a warm bath can have a soothing effect. Add a dash of olive oil or a special baby oil to the bath water to prevent the skin from drying out. Avoid products with artificial fragrances or harsh chemicals that could irritate the skin.

Conclusion

In autumn, your baby's skin needs a lot of moisture and protection. With rich creams, gentle cleansing and good wound protection, your baby is well prepared for the colder season. The right care ensures that your little darling feels comfortable despite the rough weather and can enjoy the cool autumn days well protected.
