Heading Into Colder Weather: A Gentle Skincare Routine for Your Little Ones

As we shift into the cooler months, many parents start to notice little changes in their child’s skin—tiny dry patches, a bit more itching, or sudden sensitivity. The cooler air, indoor heating, and lower humidity can all team up to make skin feel dry and tight. For little ones with sensitive skin, that often means flare-ups arrive more easily. 

According to the National Eczema Association, dry air increases transepidermal water loss, weakening the skin barrier and leaving it more vulnerable to irritation and inflammation.

Here’s a simple, gentle routine to help keep your little one’s skin happy and comfy during the seasonal shift:

1. Gentle Head to Toe Wash

Colder months often call for warmer baths, but they can also dry out the skin. Our Junior Gentle Head to Toe Wash was created to gently cleanse without stripping the skin’s natural moisture—ideal for everyday use without the drying effects of soap or traditional body washes.

2. Daily Soothing Lotion

Skin needs more hydration as the air gets drier. The Junior Soothing Sensitive Lotion is a lightweight moisturiser designed for daily use. It helps hydrate the skin, reduce peeling and cracking, and protect against environmental triggers.

3. Barrier Repair Serum for Targeted Care

If your child is experiencing irritation or recovering from a flare-up, the Barrier Repair Serum can help soothe and support the healing process. It’s especially useful on areas like the hands, elbows, and behind the knees, where skin tends to be more reactive in changing weather.

4. Intensive Ointment at Night

Skin repairs itself most effectively overnight. Our Intensive Ointment is rich and comforting—perfect as a final step in your child’s evening routine. It helps lock in moisture and prevent overnight dryness or discomfort.

5. When Flare-Ups Happen

Seasonal changes can trigger unexpected flare-ups. Our Anti-Flare Oil is designed to provide quick, targeted relief when flare-ups occur, helping to calm irritated skin and ease discomfort without steroids.

Taking care of your little one’s skin through the cooler months doesn’t have to be complicated. A consistent, gentle routine—using products designed specifically for sensitive skin—can go a long way in keeping your child’s skin calm and comfortable this season.
