Salcura Baby Eczema Treatment

| January 16, 2012

Salcura DermaSpray Intensive Skin Nourishment

If you’re looking for a natural, gentle and highly effective treatment for baby eczema, I thoroughly recommend Salcura products.

The Salcura range helped to treat our baby’s eczema and her skin cleared up in a few weeks.

Eczema causes red, dry and itchy skin and can occur anywhere on the body. Eczema is very common in babies, with around 15 to 20 per cent of babies suffering from eczema at some point, usually occurring for the first time before they are 2 years old.

My baby developed eczema when she was 9 weeks old. I found it really distressing seeing the irritation and soreness it created. As a result of the discomfort and itching from the eczema our baby’s sleep was disrupted, which meant our sleep was disturbed as we woke to her crying and spent many hours soothing our baby.

Our GP recommended several brands of medicated creams, including steroid cream, which we tried in vain. They worked for about 5 days and then the eczema would flare up again and the creams we had used no longer helped to calm the irritation and red, dry skin.

I searched endlessly for a magical cure and came across the brand Salcura which is a natural treatment for eczema and dry, itchy skin.

I love the fact that Salcura products are natural as I don’t like to use chemicals on my baby’s delicate skin.

Having experienced eczema with my baby at a very young age Salcura was the one product that worked in clearing up her eczema and continuing to manage any flare-ups. It keeps my baby’s skin moisturised and soft.

Salcura DermaSpray Gentle Skin Nourishment Spray works wonders for soothing the redness and itchiness of the eczema on my baby’s delicate skin. It is safe to use on newborns and can be used up to 12 months of age. It contains no chemicals or steroids.

From 12 months of age the Salcura DermaSpray Intensive Skin Nourishment Spray can be used.

We use Salcura DermaSpray Intensive Skin Nourishment Spray in conjunction with Salcura Zeoderm Skin Repair Moisturiser which really helps to soothe and treat the dry skin, providing the best levels of moisture out of any of the other creams we’ve used. It’s wonderful for healing broken skin.

At bath time we use Salcura Bath Oil for babies by adding a few drops of oil into our baby’s bath water. It helps to moisturise the skin and no rinsing is required afterwards, as it creates a barrier over the skin helping to retain moisture.

As well as treating the eczema, we’ve found that keeping our baby in clothes that are 100% cotton and loose fitting help to make our baby more comfortable. And switching to the non bio Surcare sensitive skin laundry range for washing our clothes, has stopped any itchiness that was caused by harsh laundry detergents.

You can find more information on what can cause Baby Eczema and how to treat it at Babycentre.

The Best Newborn Nappies

| January 7, 2012

Did you know the average baby goes through around 5000 nappies, that’s a lot of nappies!

After trial and error with several brands of nappies, I can thoroughly say the best newborn nappies are Huggies Newborn Nappieswhich are made from organic cotton.

We found Huggies Newborn Nappiesprovided the softest and most comfortable fit for our baby, as well as reducing the chance of leaks.

I used to buy my baby’s nappies from the supermarket, until I discovered you can buy Huggies Nappies from Amazonin bulk at a much reduced price and with free delivery.

Once my baby reached Size 4 nappies we moved into Huggies Super Dry Nappies.They’re superb for going the distance at night time and perfectly fit our very wriggly, almost crawling baby!

If you’re wanting to take your baby swimming Huggies Little Swimmersare the best nappies for use in water. Enjoy splish splash sploshing about without any worry!


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Jackson Reece Baby Wipes

| January 6, 2012

There’s no comparison if you want wipes that are gentle on your baby’s skin and can be used on the delicate areas of both the bottom and the face, very necessary once you start weaning your baby!

Having tried numerous other brands I recommend Jackson Reece Baby Wipes for delicate and sensitive skin. They’re free from parabens, alcohol, lanolin, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) and many other harsh chemicals.

Suitable from birth, these wipes help to prevent nappy rash by not aggravating the skin with unnecessary chemicals.
