I don’t know about you, but I’ll bet that you’re hesitant buying skin care products these days. I mean… there are so many different types and such huge price differences. So – how do you know which one to get?
Well, it all comes down to ingredients, how active they are, and in what quantities.
Imagine a 0.5% active ingredient compared to a 5% active ingredient content. You don’t have to be too smart to figure out which one will work better.
Even large expensive cosmetic and skin cream brands, mislead us into believing their products must be the best because they are expensive and have superior substances. However, on reading the ingredients label uncovers the fact that more often than not the actual active ingredients are minuscule, and the products are filled with cheap mineral oil and paraben fillers.
When you research and evaluate your next skin care cream, make sure it’s competitively priced and stacks up favorably in the active and all natural ingredients department.
Further, look for one that contains plenty of good natural nourishing, hydrating and moisturizing substances like vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants, emollients and natural oils.
There are a handful of companies that can now offer the best skin care products that also contain special skin cell rejuvenating substances, that have the capacity to re-grow new protein skin cells.
A small natural skin care supplier from New Zealand includes a new unique substance Cynergy TK”(TM)” with functional keratin”(TM)”. It’s been scientifically proven in clinical trials to be one of, if not the best ingredient topically applied that can promote the re-growth of collagen and elastin skin cells.
Cynergy TK along with Phytessence Wakame and CoQ10 in the special form Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10, are three basic ingredients that work in synergy to positively affect your skins collagen and elastin content levels.
Naturally enough these two proteins along with keratin are primarily responsible for your skins structure, strength and elasticity. Therefore, the more they can be increased the less wrinkled you’ll be, resulting in a smoother more youthful looking skin.
At my website I discuss more about aging collagen and other issues that can contribute to you having younger, smoother looking skin, that I chose to use daily.

Natural Treatment for Serious Skin Care
Believe it or not, your skin is the biggest organ of the human body. The principle
purpose of your skin is to protect your body from foreign agents. The skin
is the first line of defense against disease and infection. It is also the
skin that gives us protection against the sun.
However, it is also the skin that first betrays the effects of aging. Skin
ailments such as psoriasis or dermatitis can be irritating and make our lives
miserable. While we never needed things like wrinkle creams or moisturizers
when we were younger and our skin more resilient, the fact is that some degree
of skin care is inevitable as we age.
But skin care treatment is also necessary because of factors unrelated to
our aging skin. Dry skin is caused by a number of conditions and therefore
its treatment options will depend on the actual cause. Here are some causes
of dry skin:
Medication Side Effects
As a society, we have increasingly become dependent on medication for things
like high blood pressure, tension headaches, and even depression. Skin care
treatment for dryness may very well be necessary due to some side effect
of your medication for a completely unrelated condition. For this reason,
you always want to monitor any potential skin irritation immediately after
starting any new medication. If you already have dry skin and can’t remember
whether or not it was a problem before starting your medication, you may
need to consult with your physician and discuss an alternative medication
in order to rule out side effects as the cause of your dry skin.
Poor Nutrition
Skin care problems are often the result of poor nutrition. Our bodies require
a delicate balance of nutrients in order to keep everything functioning properly,
especially the skin. Vegetarians and vegans often run into dry skin issues
as a result of not consuming enough animal fats in their diet. A vitamin
B12 deficiency will cause your oil glands (sebaceous glands) to function
improperly, generally leading to acne.
Basically, any attempt to address a skin care issue (be it oily, dry, or even
itchy skin) should begin with a close look at diet. Dermatologists can best
assess potential diet-related skin care problems and recommend corrective
measures to naturally restore skin vitality. However, here are some foods
to avoid where possible in order to keep your skin as healthy as possible:
· fried foods (chicken, French fries)
· processed sugars
· caffeine, coffee, tea, soft drinks
· high fat dairy products like milk or cheese (consuming low fat
varieties of milk and cheese may not be great, but they are better for your
skin!)
Now the best thing that you can ingest for improved skin care is water. That’s
right, water. Water naturally removes toxins from your body-so the more you
drink of it, the purer your body will be. Drinking lots of water is especially
good for people with acne problems and it will also help reduce the onset
of wrinkles.
Skin Care Problems Due to Sebaceous Gland Problems
If you have ever been to a dermatologist because of acne problems then you
are probably very familiar with sebaceous glands. Because the skin needs
to be lubricated, it is covered with oil secreting glands known as sebaceous
glands. If these glands become clogged with dirt, then bacteria begin growing
inside and a pimple is the result. However, sebaceous glands can either become
clogged and dry skin is caused or they can produce too much and cause oily
skin. More often than not, problems with the sebaceous glands are due to
poor diet and can usually be corrected rather easily.
Skin Care Problems Due to Diabetes
Believe it or not, even diabetes can cause you serious skin care problems.
A person with diabetes has trouble regulating the blood sugar levels. When
there is an excess of blood sugar in the body, the excess must be absorbed.
To do this, the body uses a lot more water than normal and that can lead
to dry skin.
Skin Care Treatment for Dryness
While diet must always be part of any skin care treatment regimen, it is just
a simple fact that our bodies will need more help as we age. For this reason,
a moisturizer of some sort will ultimately be needed. To this end, it is
HIGHLY recommended that you use a natural skin moisturizer.
Moisturizers using natural ingredients are far less likely to cause the irritating
side effects mentioned earlier. Synthetic ingredients are often less expensive
to use in moisturizers but they are not the best skin care option because
the body is less receptive to them. Natural ingredients, on average, cause
fewer side effects and are therefore better where skin moisturizers are concerned.
Skin Care for Wrinkles
Wrinkles are probably the biggest cause of all skin care treatments in the
United States. As a person ages, the skin naturally becomes less elastic.
As a result, fine lines begin to form on the face which ultimately become
the wrinkles we hate so much. There are two main skin care strategies when
it comes to wrinkles: affect the muscles that reveal the wrinkles or fill
in the skin so the wrinkles are less noticeable. The first strategy involves
Botox and the second Collagen injections.
Botox Skin Care
A person is actually having a strain of Botulism injected in their face when
they opt for Botox skin care treatment. Botox actually interrupts the transmission
of nerve impulses to the muscles that reveal our wrinkles. It may sound radical,
but these injections do actually reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the
face for a significant period of time. Now these injections can be costly
and they must be repeated-but they are generally affective.
Collagen Injection Skin Care
Many people have a serious misperception about collagen injections. The perception
is that collagen is a form of fat that is injected into your face to fill
in the lines caused by wrinkles. Actually, collagen is an effective form
of skin care treatment for wrinkles not because it is fat-but because it
is protein. In fact, collagen is a special protein that helps cells and blood
vessels connect to one another. When this happens, the wrinkles fade because
the collagen helps the skin to “rebuild” in areas where wrinkles
form and actually fill in the lines. Again, collagen treatments tend to work
but they also are expensive and need to be repeated.
Natural Anti-Wrinkle Creams
A cheaper, but slower, alternative to expensive skin care treatments for wrinkles
is a simple cream. Anti-wrinkle creams work to rebuild the skin texture and
helps with the elasticity over time. However, unlike Collagen or Botox injections,
anti-wrinkle cream skin care treatment is only applied to the skin surface.
This is why it takes so much longer. Still, an anti-wrinkle cream is a cost-effective
and non-invasive treatment for wrinkles that does work if given enough time.
Again, in order to reduce possible side effects, stick with creams that use
natural ingredients as they will react better with your skin.

How african american skin care products work is surprisingly just like about any other skin care product. Skin is basically skin. The only real difference is the pigment or tone. Of course, skin problems can vary among ethnic groups. But the bottom line is that good skin care works for all skin tones IF the product has the right ingredients. So for african american, black skin, white skin or tan let’s see what is safe and effective.
Avoid These 3 Ingredients in Skin Care Products
1. Sodium methyl paraben (any type paraben)
2. Petroleum-based products
3. Chemical bleaching agents
1. Sodium methyl paraben can be found in many skin care products. It can affect the pigmentation of skin. Also parabens have been discovered in patients with breast cancer. So it is best to avoid these ingredients. Parabens, and there are many different kinds, basically are in a product as a preservative. Parabens have been found in breast cancer patients. There are safer ways to preserve a skin care product. I’ll come to that in a minute.
2. Petroleum-based products can be very harmful to the skin. Instead of de-pigmentation it can result in hyper pigmentation (hyper or excessive) of the skin. Uneven skin spots can materialize. If combined with the above paraben could result in a harmful condition. Also wood based alcohols, propylene glycol, mineral oil and other petroleum based ingredients can bring out a bad skin look. Avoid petrolatum in any product, just to be safe.
3. Chemical bleaching agents are often promoted to those who want to lighten their skin tone. There are safe skin lightening products. I’ll cover that also in a moment. Chemical bleaching ingredients can bring much harm to your skin. Avoid them especially if you have black skin or darker tones of skin.
Ingredients that are Safe to Use
*Extra Pone Nut Grass
*Vitamin E (If truly natural vitamin E)
Extra Pone Nut Grass will even out the skin tone especially on the face and neck. You won’t need very much of it to get good results. This is a safe and effective skin tone lightener.
Natural vitamin E fights free radicals that damage skin cells. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that will assist in helping to remove hyper pigmentation or skin spots.
Sebum Balancing With Moisturizers
Sebum is our natural skin oil. The amount can vary from one person to the next. The skin in some people is very dry to very oily and/or a combination of the two. So skin conditions can be different. But remember skin is still skin. Usually the problem with skin is much of the time in the skin care products one uses. For example, as stated above, many accept that petroleum in their skin products is okay when in fact it may be causing the problem you are perplexed with. Using a quality moisturizer with the ingredients I recommend will give you amazing skin problem relief. You will have no bad effects.
As mentioned sebum comes from the sebaceous glands. All skin tones, black, white, tan and any other skin have these glands. Sebum is there for the purpose of being the natural moisturizer for the skin. Two more ingredients to look for are jojoba and passion fruit extract. If you have dry skin, these two will help tremendously.
AntiAging Ingredients
It is a shame but much of the skin products being sold today with the promise of younger looking skin is a scam. Most don’t work. And at the best give very poor, if any, results. Many even cause great harm. For african american skin or black skin, you DO NOT need any special anti-aging skin care product. Here is what you need. Pay close attention because very few people know about this -miracle.
In all my searching and examinations, the best, most effective anti aging skin care ingredient that I have ever discovered that works for all skin types and tones is: Functional Keratin. When combined with Wakame seaweed, CoQ10 and Natural Vitamin E, new skin fibers and skin cells are produced. The result is that the skin is more firm and younger looking.
What causes harm to skin cells and other body cells is what is called free radicals. They basically go on a rampage and hurt other cells. The antidote is antioxidants found in compounds like vitamin E. Remember this please, avoid any ingredient ending in paraben, (for black skin especially Sodium methyl paraben). Avoid all skin care and other products that list petrolatum as an ingredient. Don’t even think about using a chemical bleaching agent. Use the ones I recommend. See my website for my personally tested skin cream. – Margaret Bell

Skin has many important functions in our body . The skin is also the largest excretion organ, eliminating bodily waste through its pores. Having a good daily skin care routine is very important to the health of your skin and essential step towards having a good complexion. Its oily glands secrete sebum, which maintains the elasticity of the skin’s surface. One of the most necessary things for any person is skin care. Developing a skin care routine improves the look and maintenance of your skin, your body’s largest organ. Take a good look at the way you are taking of your skin daily. Skin requires water, vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, proteins for its cells as much as your inner body needs them for a proper metabolic function of its organs.
A natural and organic treatment for the skin has the same importance for your inner health as a natural and organic food. Toning is an important step in the daily skincare routine because it removes any lingering impurities or greasy residue and helps balance the pH of the skin. The sunscreen is the most important aspect of your skin care regimen. Choose a daily moisturizer with UV protection and get two benefits in one. Avoid moisturizers with sunscreen built in at night. Facials are usually done in salons. Exercise keeps the nutrients pumping through the system to keep up your energy and, best of all, it releases endorphins – a great stress reliever.
Moisturizers seal in surface moisture and help keep skin soft and supple. Natural ayurvedic moisturizers contain herbal extracts.
Choose is finding a moisturizer or lotion that has a SPF or UV protection built in so that you can get two benefits from one application. Regular cleansing is important and when done properly. Exfoliate is a also use for skin care. Over buffing will over-stimulate and cause irritation to the skin. There are several active ingredients that have been clinically proven to be effective skin rejuvenators. One of the most effective treatments is vitamin A derivatives such a retinol or retinyl palmitate. Facials are usually done in salons. Never wash the face with hot or cold water. Luke warm is best. Don’t cleanse the face too much. Many people find they can minimize with a splash of water to the face in the morning.
Skin Care Tips
1. Eating the right kind of food can do you more good than any medicine.
2. Honey applied under a dry dressing every two or thee days promotes rapid healing of ulcers and burns.
3. Avocado oil used regularly is an excellent skin softener.
4. Vitamins are essential to the health of your skin, especially vitamins A, B,and C.
5. Vitamin E is especially helpful to improve your complexion when applied externally.
6. For pimples Apply a mixture of turmeric and neem on the face.

Introduction
The human skin is the largest organ of the human body. It not only has quite a complex structure, but also performs several life sustaining functions.
We can live without a Spleen, Gall Bladder, or an Appendix, and we can survive with only one Kidney or one Lung, but we cannot survive without our skin. As a result it is of the utmost importance that we take care of our skin.
Using natural skin care products is a good first step in providing the skin with the right nutrients and building materials to retain its health and functionality.
What Does Our Skin Actually Do for Us?
Our skin has many functions, most of which we are unaware of until something goes wrong. They include:
Regulation of body temperature;
Protection against the elements;
Sensation;
Excretion;
Immunity;
Blood storage and
Synthesis of Vitamin D.
If you want to read about these functions in more detail you can have a look at this article: “Anatomy & Physiology of the Skin”.
In summary, these functions provide us with awareness of our surrounding climatic environment, protect us against some of the bacteria and other potentially harmful bugs in our surroundings, allow us to experience touch and feel, eliminate toxins from our body, store blood, and provide the means for our body to obtain vitamin D while protecting our body from the sun’s UV-rays.
Considering these vital functions our skin has to perform, it is no surprise that we need to look after our skin and make sure it is given every opportunity to function properly and remain healthy.
Why You Should Choose Natural Skin Care Products?
With all the media and news reports warning consumers of the potentially toxic ingredients in many of the commercially available skin care products sold in supermarkets and department stores, this is an easy question to answer.
Firstly, many of the commonly used skin care products contain artificial and/or synthetic ingredients that the body has difficulties in eliminating, and as a result it tends to store these chemicals in its tissues. Research has shown that the accumulation of many of these substances can have serious health effects.
If you are interested in learning more about some of the toxic chemicals used in skin care products, please read the article “Potentially Toxic Ingredients In Skin Care Products”. It will provide you with much information and research references for you to be able to identify what is in your skin care products and what should not be there.
Holistically natural skin care products do not contain artificial or synthetic ingredients. They should also not contain isolated, concentrated, natural substances, such as parabens (pseudo-natural preservative) and the like, that have been shown to be potentially hazardous.
How To Choose Natural Skin Care Products That are Safe and Effective?
This is where it starts to get really difficult. You see, many so called natural or organic skin care products are in reality nothing of the kind. Adding a miniscule amount of aloe vera to water does not constitute a holistically natural skin care product. It may be ‘natural’ or even ‘organic’, but it will not be effective and therefore is a waste of your money.
To have an effective aloe vera product for example, it requires at least 10% of the overall content to be aloe vera. Or, the aloe vera needs to be combined with several other active, natural ingredients that are combined to achieve a specific result.
The term ‘Organic’ is another area where consumers are being misled. Adding a single ‘organic’ ingredient and then calling the products ‘organic’, is quite simply wrong. You see the commercials on television and magazines every day… “xyz product contains organic this and organic that”… but no mention is made of the other ingredients that are contained in these products, many of which have been shown to be hazardous to our health.
There is yet another problem with natural skin care products, that is an area of confusion and potentially misleading. Just ask yourself what exactly is “natural”? What is actually meant by the term “natural”?
The word ‘natural’ congers up images of nature – pristine environments that make us feel good. A safe, natural environment that is conducive to health and a sense of wellbeing. Spring water, waterfalls, pristine lakes, a healthy salads, Rainforests, etc., are all images that we perceive as ‘natural’, or in other words ‘good for us’.
The cosmetic industry has ceased on this and is using the word natural to instil in their advertisements a sense of wellbeing and the idea that this product is good for us. Unfortunately, one or two natural ingredients does not a natural skin care product make… Far from it, natural skin care products should not contain any ingredients that are not naturally sourced. This brings us to another problem with natural skin care products.
A naturally sourced ingredient, such as the various forms of paraben, may still be potentially hazardous. Just think about it – would you put arsenic or lead on your skin? No of course you wouldn’t. But, they are natural, so what’s the problem? Natural substances too can also be deadly poisons.
Applying this to skin care products, you might be looking for a product that is natural and contains AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids), which we know help to remove dead skin cell layers which in turn helps to remove fine lines and wrinkles, revealing new vibrant skin.
Now, you could buy a product that lists as one of its ingredients AHAs, it might even contain AHA in its name, or you could buy a product that contains a concentrate called papain, which is a natural substance from the Papaya fruit. So, yes papain is natural and yes this product could, depending on other ingredients, be called a natural skin care product. However, papain is a concentrate and as such many people have experienced side effects because the papain is present in too high a concentration for some people.
A truly, holistically natural skin care product would not contain papain as an extract. Rather it would contain Papaya fruit itself. You see, the whole fruit still contains papain, however, it also contains other ingredients in the papaya that modify the excessively strong effect of the papain. Choosing such a product will, at least to a large extent, reduce any potential side effects from the papain, because the product is naturally balanced and contains naturally balanced ingredients that will benefit your skin rather than burn it.
The results of removing fine lines and wrinkles may take a little longer, but are overall better and you reduce the chance of ‘burning’ your skin with a concentrated AHA. Remember AHA stands for alpha hydroxy acid and we all know acids burn our skin.
How To Use Natural Skin Care Products?
Following directions
This is actually a lot more important than most people think. Directions for use are a communication by the manufacturer of a product to their consumers about how to use and get the best results from a particular product.
It has been our experience, that most people who purchase our natural skin care products do not read the directions and use our products the same way that they have been using their previous brand. This however, may or may not be the correct way to use our products.
Properly formulated products contain ingredients in sufficiently high quantities to achieve a desired effect if used in accordance with the product’s directions. Using more does not mean better or quicker results, rather using too much can have adverse effects or no more effect than the lesser quantity.
Conversely, if for example, the product’s directions suggest that it be used 2 or 3 times a day using it merely once is not likely to produce the desired effect in most cases.
This is obvious when we think about taking medicine. We read the directions and take the drugs, herbs, or what ever, as prescribed and hopefully we get the desired result.
So why is it that we do this when it comes to taking medicine, but ignore it (for the most part) when it comes to using skin care products or other personal care products?
Reading the instructions carefully and following them ensures that a) you are not wasting your money, and b) you should get the desired results.
Good and Bad Reactions from Using Skin or Personal Care Products
There are several possible reactions you may experience. There are good reactions and negative reactions.
Let’s look at good reactions to begin with.
Good Skin Reactions to New Products
Herbs, essential oils and most of the other ingredients that you’ll find in our range of products have a medicinal actions and are included for a specific purpose, that is, the formulations that make up our various products were originally designed to treat particular skin health issues. This intent, though we do not actively promote this, continues to this day.
As you probably know, there are three basic skin types; Normal, Oily and Dry. In addition, your skin may also be sensitive, prone to allergic reactions or under the influence of hormonal changes that are taking place in your body. The herbs and essential oils in our products are specifically chosen to normalise the skin given one of the skin types. The herbs and essential oils will have a therapeutic effect on the skin’s structure and function in order to provide an environment under which your skin will start to function normally again.
Similarly this is relevant for sensitive skin that tends to react inappropriately to different stimuli. It is possible, for example, that an individual with sensitive skin who is using our products for the first time, will experience a reaction which they may see as being a negative reaction.
This however, may well be totally the opposite to what is actually taking place. You see, in order for your skin’s health to improve, it has to change. This change may appear at first as a worsening of a particular skin issue and this will understandably be interpreted as a negative.
Under normal circumstances however, this type of reaction, if the products are continued with, will only last for a few days and following this time the skin will improve and end up much healthier. This process is sometimes referred to as ‘A healing crisis’, and is actually a good thing to happen.
It signifies that the ingredients are doing what they are supposed to, that is they are repairing and normalising the skin’s functions.
This is a normal and in fact good reaction.
Bad Skin Reactions to New Products
Obviousely there are times when a new product may actually cause a bad skin reaction. Unfortunately a bad reaction often appears very similarly to a good reaction. So how can you tell the difference and what should you do?
The first thing to do when ever you purchase a new skin or personal care product is to test it to see if you have any adverse reactions to this product. Below is a detailed outline and links that will provide you with all the information you need to test a new product in order to determine whether or not your skin is going to react adversely to it or not.
Test the Products to Avoid Allergic Reactions
Another important aspect to using any skin care, personal care or cosmetic products, whether they are natural or otherwise, is to test the products first in order to see if you are allergic to any of the ingredients.
To do this, follow the steps described in our article “The Skin Patch Test”, which will provide you with a simple, yet effective step-by-step test that you can easily do at home over a 24 hour period, to reasonably ensure that you will not experience major adverse reactions to the ingredients in products you want to use on your face, or anywhere else on your body. This test is simple and very effective.
Finally, before you purchase a product, look at the ingredients list and see if the ingredients are easily recognisable. As a rule of Thumb, if the ingredients are easily recognisable it is more likely that the ingredients are of a natural source and have not been excessively modified. If on the other hand you need a chemistry degree to understand what the ingredient is, it is likely not to be a holistically-natural ingredient. It may still be a natural ingredient, but it is likely that it has been isolated and is used in a concentrated, possibly even synthetic form.
For the most part, most ‘natural skin care products’ widely available in the market place are far from natural or that matter organic. Most have minimal quantities of some natural ingredient in an otherwise non-natural product and are referring to the one natural ingredient in the product, rather than the nature of the product itself.
Hopefully this article will clarify some of the confusion that exists about what is a natural skin care product and what is not, help you to choose natural skin care products that will actually live up to your expectations, and clarify why using natural skin care products is a healthier choice.

Who do you turn to when you want the best skin care information? If it is the typical media outlets where everyone wants to give you their personal skin care info then you had better be careful about following some of their advice or suggestions. Many of these people are simply not qualified to be doling out advice of this nature.
The first people that I want to point out as not truly being knowledgeable enough to be offering you skin care information are the celebrities that want to let you know about the products that they use. The problem is that these people sometimes advise you to follow trendy skin care treatments, and use new cosmetics products without considering what the ingredients are inside.
Another source of skin care info that you should be wary of is the type that you get either through magazines or the internet that is sponsored by the various cosmetics companies themselves. This is due to the fact that these people are giving you advice on the premise of trying to convince you that it is their cosmetics products that you want to buy.
This type of skin care information can be misleading, and even potentially dangerous. This is because the product that they may be trying to get you to buy could actually be full of unhealthy chemical ingredients that you really shouldn’t be rubbing into your skin. Too many of the currently developed products contain carcinogens, neurotoxins, and organ toxins.
That is why you can’t just blindly follow this type of skin care info because if you don’t know what the quality of the ingredients of the chosen product is then that could lead you into making a decision that could possibly harm you down the road. You have to understand what is good for your skin, and what it is that is bad.
What would be a sensible piece of skin care information is that you should strive to avoid products that contain synthetic and chemically based ingredients, and only choose cosmetics products that are manufactured using all natural, healthy ingredients. This guarantees the safety and quality of your skin care products.
You should be receiving skin care info about ingredients such as Functional Keratin protein blend, and Phytessence Wakame kelp extract. These two ingredients are included in the anti aging skin care line of a company from New Zealand. They will cause not only increased growth of collagen and elastin, but will also increase hyaluronic acid.
Learning about these unique all natural ingredients is the kind of skin care information that you need. You simply have to be careful to look for ingredients such as these in all natural skin care products. Skin care info of this type is what is going to keep you healthy, and it’s going to assure that you’re successful at having better looking skin.
When it comes to skin care information you simply have to be careful to check out all of the facts before you buy.

Babies have sensitive skin that dries out easily. While some parents like to give the baby a bath every day, most babies, especially younger infants, only need one every few days. In between baths, parents should take care to keep baby’s face and bottom very clean. Babies can have tub baths only after the exposed umbilical cord has fallen off, which can take up to a month after birth.
Many bubble bath products for young children are based on detergents that destroy beneficial bacteria and harm the baby’s acid mantle. Furthermore, bubble baths are a leading cause of vaginitis and urinary tract infections in infants. This problem has become so prevalent that the Food and Drug Administration has ruled that bubble baths for children must carry warning labels advising parents against excess bathing of their children. If you wish to scent your baby’s bath, add a bit of lavender oil.
Cradle cap-During a baby’s first few months of life, he or she will probably develop cradle cap, a skin condition that looks like dirty skin on the scalp. There is nothing you can do to prevent it, but washing the scalp daily with soap and water will clear up most cases. You can also brush the scalp with a soft baby brush or toothbrush. Sometimes rubbing a little mineral oil into the scalp before a shampoo can help.
If your baby is overdue, his/her skin may well be dry and cracked. This is to be expected, as the protective vernix has all been absorbed. Don’t be tempted to use any creams or lotions as this may do more harm than good. The top layer of the baby’s skin will peel off over the next few days, leaving perfect skin underneath. Continue with plain water for the first month.

Often parents neglect to protect their babies from the sun if they are traveling in a car. Although windows do provide a barrier against UV radiation, they do not afford adequate protection on longer journeys, so make sure your child is well protected.
