Pharmacy Daily | Weekly Comment 9 Sept 16 : Travel with baby

TRAVELLING with a baby or toddler can be made more comfortable with these simple tips. Why not share this information with new parents in your pharmacy? Moisturise and Hydrate To help keep skin well-hydrated during long-haul flights, use a non-greasy, water based natural cream. We suggest locking in moisture with unscented Moisture Cream specifically formulated for babies. For older children and parents, opt for a more nourishing formula however also free of essential oils is ideal. A thicker cream will go further and be more emollient, ideal for eczema and dermatitis sufferers. Travel can take its toll and be extremely dehydrating to the skin. A good routine which includes the application of a high quality, natural moisturiser to hands, face, legs as well as keeping up fluid intake, is vital for even the youngest of frequent flyers. Protect and Pamper If a child is using nappies or pullups, using a protective, natural balm can help to guard the skin from wetness and irritation. Natural ingredients including vitamin e and calendula can help soothe and then protect the skin by leaving a light residue. Some baby balms can also be used for adults – perfect to help minimise chapped lips, as a nail and cuticle balm, for dry, cracked heels and elbows, for sunburn, insect bites and much more. If recommending a quality, natural product with the addition of essential oils, you may be surprised at the relief one little jar of premium balm can provide.
